Just my opinion I’ve seen them do it.. yapping out of frustration and they weren’t entered bad either or to young ?? 

That's right some dogs do it no matter what way they are entered I think it's in the dog itself to do it iam talking I've seen all cross x lurchers do this it's just one of the thing I think

I'll be truthful I don't know much about whippets or their crosses but I have one here as a family pet and I've had it lamping a few times along with its sister and they've been mute as is both their parents while working. 

I've owned and worked four kc reg whippets, and none of them yapped when in pursuit, not once. 

Don't really agree with this 'whippets opening up/yapping' mullarkey myself.  I know most dogs, whippets, greyhounds and lurchers yap like f**k when watching other dogs, and the 'hare' at racing tracks etc, and I wonder if it's that that leads people to think whippets are more 'vocal'?

Seen it first hand with whippets maybe it’s just the ones I’ve seen?? Frustrated yapping when they can’t pick it up who knows

Seen alsorts of lurchers yapping. But my terrier will hunt completely mute on top even when a fox is right in front of her

Yeah, I get what you're saying.  But a lot of people just dismiss whippets automatically as yappers, when in fact almost all crosses, pures etc,  will yap if they're unfit, 'maybe' carrying an unseen injury, might simply be not fast or agile enough, or when run too young etc.

Mates got a lakeland x greyhound, she's getting on now but she put some stuff away .

Moocher, what height is she? a proven game leggy terrier over a big running hound is something I am eager to do.

Surely its got to be a better choice than a beddy whippet as lets be honest how many proper working Bedlingtons exist these days out of a line of working bedlingtons.

Plenty mute terriers about

I thought the whole point of a terrier was to be vocal ??

It is in some cases but not as important the last 40 yrs

Why mate ? Locater collars still need noise electrics fails so lads been breeding them to not be vocal then mate ?

do bushers need to be vocal ?

You can still hear a terrier below ground most of the time even if its not baying theres nearly always some noise to give a rough idea where they are, locators just make it a lot easier and quicker in the main, I know nothing of bushing dogs

so terriers have become quieter since locater collars were invented mate

Theres terriers and terriers mate, some are as you say very vocal some not so much

So a quality terrier is quiet ?

I thought that be the equivalent of a sighthound not chasing on sight
