TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Whippets are great rabbiting dogs in the right conditions. Long runs in heavy wet ground will show them for what they are. Quote Link to post

Moocher71 4,049 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I got a whippet x that took hare,fox,munty, rats,roe and coney and feather in his time. He never had problem with anything until a munty buck one xmas eve gave him a fight.he lost few teeth and was pissing blood few days after,cost over 500 at vets so it was a dear deer. He still here now, retired and sleep at my feet right now.dreaming of runs he had. He been cracking dog and I bred litter from him and all his pups doing well for the lads who had one. I rate the whippet and X's ,they punch well above there wait. If i get another it got b one of the bwra dogs as none peds got that bit more than kc bred.i ain't taking anything AWAY from pures as they gotta be the best pure breed dog about in my opinion and not ruined yet!!! But some prise tags for pures are crazy money . My uncle was a whippet man, always racen them back in the sixtys,he had a good kennel. He was into his coursing by rules and few of his did well on hare.my lad took a few,he would snaffle them in cover mostly, but a catch is a catch when for the pot. I think my last dog will b a none peds. 9 Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Had some great times with whippets...in fact, for quite a few years, locally, that was the only dog lads used, it seemed as though everyone had a fecking whippet! The deer job changed things for us,..but nothing much beats a good, keen whippet, for roustabout rabbiting... Even today, my collie types are strongly influenced by whippet blood,...it seems to produce a fast takeoff speed, and quicksilver reflexes,.. in truth, that ten-yard dash is sometimes all ya get. 3 Quote Link to post

darbo 4,774 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 A question for the whippet fans would you prefer a ped or non ped whippet for the rabbiting game? 1 Quote Link to post
