My other whippet/stag is highly strung, willful but still my once in a lifetime lurcher. I'm a bit gutted atm as she is in the vets with liver problems, I don't know if she will make it . She's getting older at 9. 2 Quote Link to post

eastcoast 4,115 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I love whippets. I love greyhounds. To me a cross between the two is the sweet spot for the field. But I am no lurcherman and fully understand that a serious lurcherman will often require a dog with a bit more depending on what is needed to be caught, how much is needed to be caught, how often and where. But a whippet x greyhound will catch most things and are a joy to watch when doing so. 9 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Our Sandy, first cross Whippet/Greyhound. Hard as fecking nails. An avid cat killer that went through a shop window after her prey. In the terriced streets where we lived, she ran cats along the back yard walls, after leaping up off the coal bunkers. She came a cropper many a time, broke toes, ribs and sliced tendons but she never quit on em. Thats me, on the left, next to mum, our Sandy was my first hunting dog and over the years as i was growing up, we caught loads of stuff, from rabbits to foxes. I foolishly retired her aged 15 whilst she was still catching rabbits and she pined away and died within six months... This is the only photo i have of her. Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Extremely fast off the mark, good ferreting dogs, good on the lamp, on the right terrain, But a bit fragile for an all rounder, But as they say, Horses for courses, If they fit your ground and hunting style, then, Hard to beat.
