Ok, back to the original post........

I think the only people who can answer the original posts are those who have owned whippets and worked them around the british isles for several seasons to evaluate their performance

look at the work mike brown does with his whippets and the people on here who own stuff from his breeding cant go wrong with this breeding imo

Bedfordshire was never exactly renown for its arduous terrain,ask your mate with the frail fragile whippet to take you north,try parts of yorkshire and northumberland,its a little different

There isn't much places in England were we've not been.

 

I even gone as far as Spain and Sicilly to run my dogs! Now thats rough hunting ground!!!

 

I aquired my dog from Yorkshire, stayed there 2 weeks had fun too. Dogs did really well.

 

Northumberland too, beautifull place, lovely people, i liked it very much.

I think Adam said it was Pately Bridge. Paltley Bridge?

[mackem 26,941]

Patley bridge in yorkshire?Cant imagine your area is any different,certainly havent seen anywhere in your county I wouldnt feel confident in running a dog.Give me a few days,I have some negatives of my first dogs up in the loft,let me get hard copy from them,whippet types that we all had as kids,I have a decent pic of a few rabbits they caught over a couple of nights on really hard ground in northumberland,never got a nick,scratch,nor mark on them,they werent pure whippets,just sold as whippets But an ounce of practical is worth a ton of theory
