forest of dean redneck 11,637 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) used to be popular up north years ago.supposed to combine early pace and turning circle of whippet with speed for longer runs of greyhound.also to add height to the whippet.rated ideal on rabbits.could take a hare and big enough to give larger prey a mischief.

Kane 2 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Very good cross if the right bloods been used.Very easy to enter very exciting to watch .The only negative is that to lenghen the working life of this type of dog your best p[icking which land to run it on.As they can be quite fragile especialy at the speeds they run at.

Guest JAGDWERKS Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) If one was to make a "BullXWhippet" or a "BullXGreyhound" cross...which dog should always be used as the sire...the "bulldog"...or the "Longdog"??? JAGDWERKS Edited January 11, 2006 by JAGDWERKS Quote Link to post
Guest JAGDWERKS Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks for the info,Turk! Quote Link to post
TimJ 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 allways use the bull on the greyhound or whippet bitch if u want to keep the hight Turk, I always thought it was because the greyhound could carry the pups easier and also have larger litters. Why would the genetics be any different if you used a greyhound dog over a bull bitch ? Quote Link to post
