Good for you socks if your first cross patterdals whippets are killing rabbits running across open ground iam glad for you But the Bottom line is these wee type off Dogs will not have the legs for it let's be truefull here lads even for lamp you will be hoping to catch one specially 60 or 70 yard slips but as I said before each to there own I have first x Wheaton whippets and first x beddy whippet and they struggle with rabbits in open fields all the best

I’ve found that with my first cross beddy/whippet. Hasn’t got the speed to catch most rabbits, especially if they have a 50/60 yard start.. she has more success on the lamp but that’s to be expected. Great little bushing dog though and ferreting with the nets… she wouldn’t catch many without the nets though.

Terrier whippet type sounds perfect to me no matter what the terrier as long as it has a bit of go in it. For catching rabbits at least with ferrets that is what you need. Rabbits never in the open more than few seconds ducking in and out. Slipping nets or what  ever.

No good having a bloody big blunderbus for that work though they will have a dam good go lol

There's first x whippet x Wheaton and it struggles in open ground and it would be bigger and stronger than a pat x whippet now don't get me wrong here a smasher in bushes and around holes and lamping you need to pick your rabbits as to speak

There's a bitch 25 inches smasher in bushes in open ground But she's retired now only out now.and again done her back in more a pet now for a big bitch she was one off the best ferreting dogs I've had

Why is your lad cuddling a fox

Big doesn’t necessarily mean can’t work cover. This bitch is 25 inches and she could hear the ferret and rabbits underneath this bush and pushed her way in. Anybody that knows this type cover will know how tight and thorny it is.
