Shortstraw 476 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Probably just me but I prefer the little robust old type of whippet.....each to their own like but I’m not too keen on the taller ones I’ve seen around the last decade or so. 2 Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I've caught lots of rabbits with those old style, barrel-chested whippets.. Speedwise, they are not in the same league as the Hard-Bloods, but I have found that the KC runners, leftover, from the organised hare-coursing days, often have stronger feet. Obviously, the out and out race dogs, are fabulous specimens,.almost mini-greyhounds, great physiques , but for hedgerow rabbiting, the original pedigree, working type whippets, are plenty good enough. Whatever the style of whippet,...for me, as a part-timer, these diminutive speedsters still bring a lot to the table... 10 Quote Link to post
cantona 310 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Used to have a mick brown bred dog out with us on a Sunday with the terriers, stood 22.5 fairly strong built for a whippet , would stick his head in at the end of a dig and even travel underground, used to walk to where the hares were and catch one if you got close enough before they got to fidgety, because he was brought up with lurchers from a young age he acted and worked like a lurcher , muntjac were taken single handed by him although I didn't see this ,this was in the nineties before the laws changed for the worse 3 Quote Link to post
