Hia chuk. Personally, I would get something with a bit more substance. I don't like a lot of whippet in a lamping or coursing dog because I believe they're more prone to injury. We used them years ago. (whippet greyhounds)They were always being laid up for one injury or another, and they were bred from top class racing whippet stock. Probably suit you if you only go out for a couple of rabbits now and again, but that is only my opinion. I'm sure there are some very good ones about. Quote Link to post
swamper 11 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 mad as feck/rapid but to fragile for round here heres mine and she is knacked by 2 years old Quote Link to post
Rocks 77 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) I have one she is 23.5 and very keen, good feet,fast and Stamina galore just wish she was bigger as she does not have the power for the game I hunt. She has caught jack rabbits dureing the day and had no problem grabbing them as my stags tend to miss a few grabs before they strike right. she is very game almost thinks she is a bull dog not ill with other dogs just game. She is a little stubbern and I do not know why as I did not raise her, She does not pout like a greyhound she just has her way of doing things and if you have a problem with that she just wont do them.
