tricky dicky 0 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Alright Dale, A good mate of mine has one thats a year old which funnily enough caught its first lamped rabbit the other night-if it was 3inches bigger it would be a cracking lamping dog for rabbits hopefully as she grows&strengthens she will get a bit quicker-it fears nothing&is as tough as you like!! for a ferreting/bushing dog i reckon she should be a cracker but as for an out & out running dog she may just lack a bit-but they arent all her size i dont suppose, hope this helps Best regards The Chimp Quote Link to post
Guest Dale Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 cheers lads , im sure when i was younger its what a guy had which is why i asked , but the patterdale seems such a strong working dog i thought combine that with the speed / agility of a running dog may become a great working dog .. maybe my theroy is incorrect Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 hi dale I have a 3/4 pat 1/4 whippet she's a great little bushing dog pretty quick too her mother was an 1/2 cross brilliant on the rabbits in a small field obviously lacking top end ,my bitch looks like a fine patt with a tail,hates anything that moves i'll try to post some pics Quote Link to post
Kane 2 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Whippets arent the quietest or running dogs and patterdales open up all the time (even the hard ones lol) the chances of them opening up on rabbits would be high not realy desirable in a mooching dog I shouldnt think.If a small sized ferreting bushing dog is what your after I would of though the Beddy whippet might be more usefull lots of people have them and work them more than people work Patt crosses must be a reason for that.
