tdavepat 8 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'll add my ten pence worth robert. A strong 'type' whippet shouldn't exist IMO. A whippet type should merely be a true to conformation whippet, nothing else. However, a strong whippet does exist. There are a few lines that spring to mind but the ones mentioned are not necessarily in keeping with your question. I have seen some very game, very fast MB dogs, but a few quite small ones with the hearts of lions. I have also seen some big strong, great looking whippets with the hearts of mice. Your Prince is an example of a strong whippet. My Merlin might have been if he managed to keep his strength up and illness at bay. My Lewis is a very fast and game whippet but is too light to be called a strong whippet. Matt Slavin breeds a strong line and the Nimrodel pups we got from Fallswater have that strong look about them. A strong whippet IMO: Should reach at least 21" and 35 lbs for a dog, 19" and 28 lbs for a bitch. Should have a strong head and good bite. Should have strong shoulders and back. A broad chest, not necessarily deep and a broad but lengthy muscular neck. Should have good bone and tight high feet. The shoulders should laid slightly back. It should catch your eye and move well with front feet thrown forward. It should be capable of holding down or dragging down largish prey and catching, carrying and jumping with smaller prey. It should be a capable jumper and confident enough to trust your commands to jump. Heres a couple of 2 of mine aged about 1 year. They catch day and night, not any great amount but its still early days for them. The brindle cant jump for toffee but he can really move. The black one is always ill and will die early with autoimmune but I still run him because he loves it and he wouldn't have anything else.
