it looks like a nice wee collie, cross whippet, like 3/4 whippet, but very nice ideal, for rabbits, it should fill the pot,

They all look like coiled springs about to burst out into 100 mph runs! They're really nice, fast looking, whipper snappers!

These dogs (the right one's) will outrun any grey, X ,whatever, on the first burst. Spectacular run's as well from the gutsy little dogs. (And i like them a lot!).

 

Are they up to a full season's ferreting in the hills, taking an average of 40 bunny's a day over the season, twice a week?

 

I do like the whippets a lot, the ability to make something out of nothing is unreal.

But we are not on a track when hunting. The ground can finish the best of the stronger dogs full stop.

It's great saying they stopped this here, and stopped that there, but the breeding for the track (which the whippets are bred for, and greyhounds) is not real world. In the 'Hard Ground', a dog needs to be looking further than the run he's on.

If i could have a whippet to do my job, i'd have one in a crack. The sheer speed that they have on the start up is unreal, catching most prey out before it has time to think.

Just my thought's on them, and i've seen a few.

They are great little dogs as you know. If the bunnys are there they will do them.. we will have to sort a trip out..

It's not just the trip out mate, that's what i'm saying. It's the long haul!

I'm sure the whip's would nail everything I bolted no probs. Probably before the collie grey's had blinked! But sooner or later, that yelp is going to come when your back is turned, and that sickening feeling where you don't want to turnaround. A trip out would show just what i and yourself know, they are superb dogs on the right ground, but how would a season up in the wind. rain, snow, rocks, rushes, ghyll's all fare on your dog?

I'm not into ego's, or the my dog, your dog thing. I like dogs full stop. I've witnessed good whippets drop dead through running. That's why we use crosses in the hills. Have you run him on the hard ground?

i know loads of whippets that can do 40 a day ferreting were i live for the full year you wont find werse ground and whippets do fine the racing whippets may a bit fast for working hence have a increased risk of a bump the working lines seenm to do ok ive never seen a whippet die though runing however about 30 40 years back my mate had one die with the cold when out but its womer these days lol

I see your point and cross breeds do usually have more vigour than either parent but there is exception to every rule.

He runs on hard ground most of the time and has been brought up running on the old pit stacks and slag heaps around my area,

We run the rushes on the moors where his marking and quick strike enable him to catch well with little exursion to himself.

he marks the walls runs the long ears with succes, sits patiently for bolted rabbits does more or less whats asked of him all the time and with great enthusiasm for the 'job, always up for it so to speak', dont get me wrong he is not a wonder dog and ive seen much better but he is a good un and we are well suited..
