GaryMcEvoy 38 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Iv a whippet bitch here shes a great lamper 21" to shoulder i was just wondering what is a good suggestion to cover her with...? And i have a few mates badly in need of a well bred pup And would a mating with a saluki be possible? 1. Could she hold the pups? 2. Would the saluki be able to mate her? And pictures of stud digs would be great..... No offence to the bull breed just tohard for the work id have for it. Thanks. Quote Link to post

beddyman 6 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 i would go for a greyhound mate how about collie greyhound ? ....whippet/greyhound first cross Quote Link to post
GaryMcEvoy 38 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks for all the suggestions keep them coming. Was thunking of breeding for an all rounder. Whippet x grey or collie x grey sound decent enough but its fairly hard to get a full greyhound for breeding with a whippet. Quote Link to post
MarcusOvDarlo 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I have a mate that has a saluki/whippet and i wanted to mate my dog with that. but my dogs about 28"-29" and his about 21"-22" would it be possible? or would the dog suffer with severe broken bones round the spine :11:?

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dont use a saluki. Its like crossing a long distance runner and a sprinter, you end up with a dog that doesnt perform very well at either. I personally wouldnt risk mating with a saluki. Why not use another whippet? Since she is so good, find another good lamping whippet stud. Quote Link to post

Since she is so good, find another good lamping whippet stud. Ive got this cross , and beleive me its got the sprint capability of the whippet, and its stamina far outweighs your average whippet. As a rabbiting dog its probably the best dog ive ever owned. Quote Link to post
springfield 20 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Pups are mainly the same size regardless,Its the rate they grow at and the dams ability to cope with amount of milk required at say 4 weeks,you just have to help them alittle.Some ped whippet pups have been known to be 1lbs at birth Edited August 3, 2008 by springfield Quote Link to post
earth&hounds 94 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 i would go for a greyhound mate how about collie greyhound ? first x whippet greyhound then put that back to a half x collie greyhound dont loose the size of the greyhound then other wise they might throw to the whippet i like my dogs about 24 tts for my lamping dogs Quote Link to post
doga 50 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 i can under stand your predicament but wey up honestly what she lacks as all dogs lack something,if you want an out and out lamp dog maybe stick we out and out running dogs as is yours,saluki,whippet, grey.saluki mix maybe a better option,if your looking for amore versatile dog more abpt at retrieving general mooching go for collie blood,i exspect mine to do everything for me retrieve shot game off water and from dence cover day or night ferret lamp you name it i coulnt get a very sighthoundy dog to do it for me,its the old adage horses for courses,hope i havent confused althe best.
