couldnt put pic of my whippet up (dont know how my kids normally do it) but picture below my name, he is on the left blue/white won a few country shows but more importantly does the buisiness in the field day/night. if you want go to my gallery for a better look.

Mally thats a fine looking animal mate,a credit to you What sort of feeding/training regime do you have her on,ive never seen a whippet bitch heavily muscled.

 

I feed her raw lamb and beta greyhound, she gets 2 x 2 miles a day road walking and some free running. As well as a couple of nights a week lamping. I started ferreting last weekend so we'll be out a couple of days a week from now on.

I didn't start working her proper until after her first season as she was a little slow maturing physically. She's doing well on the lamp and if her first time out ferreting is anything to go by she'll earn her keep.. She's a really steady laid back bitch a real pleasure to be out with.

 

Fair play to you Mally, you are doing a grand job.

 

I spent a week down at Mallys recently, running my lurcher bitch whith his whippet, Vixen, day and night, and she is proof positive that whippets make great little workers !! Over the week I saw her strike and retreive improve dramaticaly !! She retreived much more than rabbits, both single handed and doubled up. A class little bitch !

Cheers.

doughnuts/ muppets seems to apply to all of you

 

 

WTF are you commenting on every post for then? your a 16 year old kid that thinks he has the answers to everything.

 

im not saying dont post, it just bugs me that you answer just about every queery when you have actually no experiance of the question, your just answering what others have said

Thurso Jack

all i've seen from you is slagging off other members posts just cause it isn't your way. who do you think you are their wifes/girlfriends

 

 

3 posts in and you have me sussed

 

im really sorry i wont comment again

 

willyneferreter, by all means comment on something you have an experiance of, but it just bugs me you have to comment on everything?

 

you have never owned a whippet, your only talking about hearsay? hardly grounds to be giving advice and yes i did tell you to go away after you pmd me, as i have nothing to say to you that cant be said on here?

Steady on hes just giving his opinion on the topic, everyones entitled to no matter what their age or experiance, give him a break.

a selection of mine all worked on ALL quarry pre ban , homebreds too

in answer to the original question, i personally wouldnt want a bitch over 19 inch and a dog the very max 21, i personally feel they start to lose the type , im not fussed about the lines as its my opinion that all whippets will work given the correct training with time and patience , i have a total showbred here whom has been VERY slow to get going far far later then any i have ever bred and at times yes i have wanted to give up but now he is a diamond to work , show lure course and most of all great to live with ,, my homebreds are very easy to start off working and i took him on as a challenge , and im proud to say ive done it , however imo all whippets will work given the right training time and patience and of course right conditions , its up to you to get out and put in the work? the whippet is one of the most unique breeds in the fact that it can do so many things in such a small package and VERY underestimated, it is far more hardy than people think for , good feet ( when bred right) good strong jaw, deep chested with a decent amount of stamina even at low fittness

 

i used to keep and work just bitches , however im now changing over to mostly dogs as im sick of loosing time with seasons etc
