Last pic of him is quality, looks a fine animal and by the praise he’s getting he’s some animal as well

He's thrown himself in his pups as well, the one I've got was smallest in the litter (picked on purpose) and is a fiery little thing, with an awesome temp. Has taken to work with no effort from me and have been surprised how hard she is considering she's a little softie in the house.

I was thinking of something like this in a few years. Be handy as a little busher/runner. Something that my lad could have to start him off.

Only problem I see is you create a different thing. That dog is a terrier x, leggy terrier hunting dog. Whippet grey over it, becomes a fast little lurcher with a little terrier that’s built for different things maybe, lighter, less tough and gritty maybe. Don’t know if I’m saying it right but I know what I mean. Depends what you’re after though I guess. 

I completely agree with this sentiment on many levels. The number of times on here (and before the internet when reading Countryman's Weekly and Shooting News letters pages) when similar questions came up. Somebody has a dog of a type not like the "normal" lurcher e.g. very small whirrier type or heavily base blood orientated and everybody says, "mate it to a pure greyhound (or a 28" 1/4 bull 3/4 greyhoundx saluki)." Then lo and behold the owners says that the next generation is faster but, "there's a certain something missing." I'm not saying it doesn't give you what you want in 99% of cases but when the original dog is a bit different then you need a mating which is a little different. But that's just my humble opinion...and what would I know...it's been twenty four years since I bought a dog with any sighthound in it.

I must say it’d be a fecking shame not to try that dog of Tylas. Seems perfect given the short notice. And it’d be fascinating to see some well bred alternatives to the beddies.

It ticks all the boxes asked for eh BH , a proven dog that throws a type not unlike itself.ok it's old but well worth the risk as the rewards won't be wasted..

Same with the heavily collie blooded dogs used to be around

Totally understand socks concern over the dogs age. But my thinking would be the dog sired a full litter only a year ago and i can always find another stud for the next time she comes in if it fails, but an old dog like that might not ever be available again. And these Russel whippets aren’t exactly ten a penny.

Just my thinking. Which is easy when I don’t have any of the responsibility for it. HA

Right guys my little whippet Russel has finally come into season and I’m on the lookout for a stud for her as the dog I was going to use only produced one pup out of a litter he just sired. Ideally I’m looking for a 3/4 whippet 1/4 terrier. 
 

All these fertility people that mess with all these fancy breeds are adamant it’s down to the bitch and how many fertile eggs are released that affects litter sizes 

[NEWKID 27,210]

Seen the bitch and heard a bit about the dog....should produce cracking dogs for a bit of everything, ratting, ferreting, bushing and even a bit of lamping...

Could well see one of these pups doing a bit in Devon..
