thurso jack 3 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 beddy/whippet or straight whippet or a grew, sounds like what your after, personally id go for a well bred working whippet, your list of runable quarry would be the biggest. Quote Link to post

Guest jrt Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 its got me thinking, what are the benefits of a beddy x whippet over a straight whippet? the terrier in them makes em a bit more hardy then a straight whippet are the whippets very timid? wouldnt x it with a beddy/grey make the dog alittle stronger and less prone to injurys?
