Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 they do muntys easy so i couldnt see a problem with Roe Quote Link to post
snoopdog 1,256 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 i know lads who have had whippets take quite a few roe ...i dont think they would do fox regulary but they will take em Quote Link to post
cocker 2,654 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 i could believe it as i have seen one particular pair if whippets (purebred kc reg) do both of these species pre ban, on quite a few occasions, ive no doubt about it if there bred from the right stuff and entered right they will do it. by no way am i saying they would be good at it very regularly, or do it with particularly good style,or single handed but they can do it paired up ok.

Believable or not? i would say he s telling the truth,i new a fella who used to take roe out a park with a 32lb non ped whippet in the 70s he was out of work at the time so this is how he made a bit extra £££.he said thesame dog (brandy)also killed foxes easily, good size whippet though i think small one s might sruggle a bit though Quote Link to post

The 30lb dogs can do it, but that extra bit of weight helps it do the job better. They are great dogs , they have a heart like a lion, but for the things with teeth, you need a bigger dog.

Netter 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've seen them doubled up on fox, never seen one kill one single handed though. Quote Link to post
Ballybricken 1 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yup i've seen evidence that davids whippets worked fox pre-ban of course! Quote Link to post
