Tbh i reckon most whippets are rubbish. The ones i know of and seen will all jack on rabbits. The windier and wetter a night the pickier they get. Good fast little lurchery thing you just cant beat.

most I paid for a lurcher pup was 350 plus 100 transport was a minshaw bred dog from the black Jack dog that Andy had was about 12 years ago never worked out for me that dog paid my money took my chance wasn't to be that time.

Started in the game ferreting. And thats how wana finish thinking of putting whippet over my beddy grey to produce a.rough whippet be ideal for the job a rabbit in daytime rarely runs more than 25 yrds so i. Be turning the clock back to ferreting /. Ratting type dog i started with ?

Think that would be a good move. seems to be popular now a lot are running collie x whippet grey, and Bedlington x whippet grey. or a cross between the two. if I was a younger man and was lamping again and running a bit of variety that's the way I would be going

Can you think of a better pure bred for rabbits?The first cross aren't usually fast enough unless crossed with another running dog.Most fast little luchers are probably 3/4 whippet.

When i was a kid they were all collie / whippet types or just straight whippets ? Think alot may be going back to smaller types since the stupid ban ?

Trev does his thing good luck to him no video of one stood on a warren will change my mind feller i could show you a dog thats done 40s up north down here i seen him start picking after as little as 5 slips. In my opinion they lack that bitch of toughness.

Don't know what your saying mate, I agree whole heartedly, if you read back.To me whippets are the ultimate rabbit breed and have owned them all my life.

Mine will grab feral pigs that other so called tough breeds stand back and bark at so good whippets are a very game dog for their size and build,I think the gamest of all sighthounds.
