i heard pure whippets have to retire earlyer than other dogs i.e whippets ect is this true?

alright spring field i know your looking at this thread how are you buddy?.

 

that makes sense hpool but i know this may sound stupid but is there any advantage or disadvantage with a bitch or a dog?

 

i dont want to breed them or anything?

it's just what think but the beddy's are good for edges and bramble the one's ive seen just plough staght it to aney edge

in my little humble opinion - you can get a 20" beddy whippet, which will ferret for fun all day, and take a few by night...... a 26" saluki grey whippet will do the same job & more WHEN you get more intrested in other quarry.

 

as i say, just my opinion, but hey, im prejudice i like my dogs standing at about 26" with a good deal of power

 

edited to add - i have seen in action a beddy whippet great ferreter, good on the lamp, fox & roe pre ban, but she wouldnt do it all night

Well-bred pure Whippet would do you fine, or half cross to most breeds, Collie, Bull etc.

get a bedlington/whippet/greyhound fast as fek good in small fields and open fields, can catch rabbits,hares (pre-ban),foxes(pre-ban)and deer (pre-ban). a good all runder ide say and most people wi say same.
