Hi guy,s i,ve been offered a greyhound x whippet now its not a cross i have ever worked and in all fairness never considered i work two spaniels ferreting with purse and long nets on hedge rows talking to a mate and he say,s dont touch it with a barge pole so lad s,anyone worked this cross ferreting and what are the pro.s and  con,s 

Those types are lethal when working the hedgerow warrens, in conjunction with the nets and ferrets...

Many of the local rabbiting lads use them...

I prefer to hybridize these quicksilver critters, with sheepdog, blooded animals, but that's just my personal preference...

Popular with the old lads round here when i first went out in the early 80s they had them for decades. Watched a few go the odd one from the welsh fella carl williams. Good on rabbits night/day and could knock over a hare or two.Like lock on missiles.

Never knew you were a shepherd, nothing like penning the sheep faster I suppose.

I'd get one,might get a few rips being a fast dog but will soon learn,some can be pretty crafty at their game.Can't be too fast when your hunting fast game and exciting to watch.

carl Williams ,now that's a name from the past darbo, seem to remember if memory serves me right, he used to advertise 2 whippetx greyhounds at stud in the early 1980s in the old shooting news,think they were called ace and  bow, may be somebody will have a photo of the advert, know if I trawled my old copies id probably find it some where.
