So she’s 1yr old then Tbh what is the point in putting pups on the ground out of a young bitch that will be producing a none conventional cross

Like I said  I'm waiting more till the end of the year   and just cause it's unconventional don't mean it's a bad thing

That’s not my point I was getting at fella my point is what’s the point in putting pups on the ground out of a bitch that by next year would of only completed one season work ? by one season you can’t honestly know if a dogs really got what it takes to be a useful seasoned worker when it’s still learning it’s trade.shelters are full of dogs were people have sentimental bred dogs it’s a pointless exercise Mate. what will this cross offer that a work bred whippet hasn’t already got in hand ? unless there only being bred for money Your dog up to you what you do with it at the end of the day but highly doubt there be a que of people that work dogs taking a risk on a pup tbh there be avoided like the plague until there’s some seasons behind the bitch

 Fair play I see what you was saying he pups where more for me and a few friends who expressed some interest wasnt intending on selling the pups but I see what ya saying

[Blackmag 6,089]

Harry I don't mean offence buddy but poxon is spot on and I bet that if you did breed a few of those friends would drop out of owning a pup it's hard enough homing  pups as it is 

[leegreen 2,170]

Same as the others said.

Prove your bitch and you may be on to summit. After all it's your responsibility.  

[Mr Wilkes 2,989]

Does it make the pups any better if the bitch works underground ? After all a whippet x border Lakeland isn’t going to go to ground... it’s a ratching dog, bred to hunt rabbits ect. I fully understand the bitch has to be a mature dog to breed from.

You couldnt really go wrong with a terrier x whippet. It doesn t need be a season veteran to breed off

 I was told the same lie years ago you can’t go wrong with a terrier x whippet
