The fella had two half crosses, dog and bitch from same litter. Both very good workers. With yours being 3/4 whippet they should be a little more versatile. Sounds good Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,095 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'm going to put this young Russell dog I bred over this Whippet bitch in about 5 months time.He's a big 10kg leggy dog at 9 months and she has grey blood.I think they will be good along creek lines and tight spots the whippets struggle with. 1 Quote Link to post
