Would love to find a whippet bitch to put a particular patterdale dog over!

Know couple lads used them up scotland for general knock about types but they were forever going to ground. Not my choice of dog tbh

I think they would smash something like a Beddy x whip out of the water

I have one particular pat in mind which I think would be ideal!

Strong leggy patterdale and a good size whippet so the pups make 19-20 inches would be ideal, if any litters come up get in touch cheers

We talk about it a lot, but it’s just finding someone with a decent t whippet bitch who’s game to try it. Most whippet owners are breeding whippet to whippet for mega bucks. Got a big leggy pat dog here, probably one of best earth dogs I’ve witnessed and a very obedient abs intelligent dog above ground.

I'm still getting around to puting my Parson Russell over one of my whippets, I think that would be a hard enough whirrier for above ground work as the terrier is happy working thick scrub and blackberries and not an earth dog at all, which suits me. I wouldn't have thought about puting one of the denning Russells over them when I had them, too much drama.

why bother, what do they do what a good working whippet can't do better?. that's how these threads always seem to end up.

Dunno about that, whippets are great dogs but there coats are less then good in my opinion.  I've never owned one but my uncle has had a fair few and they always get cut!

I think a patterdale x would be very good, surely someone with even a small bitsa lurcher could produce some good little dog.

Defiantly be more hardy type than the general pure whippet....
