Another shit whippet

[whin 463]

good pics , but come on the ground looks perfect, get them over some shaly land and plough or lamping three nites a week sleeping outside with no coats but in good kennels , ask them to stand over big warrens for an hour or two waiting for bolters ,winds blowing of north sea, please dont insult a mans intellegent ,whippets are racing good little dogs but not as hardy as any well bred collie cross or beardie cross or saluki cross and no were as versatile , a few hares doesnt make it a champion or we would all have them , ive saw my beardie grew bitch lye in snow go over rivers catch rabbs and bring them back , sit in the damp weather all day ferreting day in day out catching bolters and any that slips the net ,whippets are not shite dogs but are not great allround working dogs for harsh weather , and even harsher ground sometimes , i wish they were ,they lose condition that a good beardie cross thrives on, or tougher border cross does ,thye will suit alot of people tho but not everybody as they aint got it for hard work they were not made or bred that way has any use worked the scottish borders in winter for several seasons on rabbs i dont think so not with pure whippets, in all weathers

Horses for courses, surely Whin?

Whin, when you say "grew", do you mean in the accepted sense, i.e whippet x greyhound, or are you using the term as a shortened form of "greyhound" ?

Cheers.

Never said the dog was a champion those are your words..The dog suits me and thats what counts.. I run on old pit land slag heaps and the like, he excells over ploughing doesnt feel the cold like some. sleeps in the kitchen with my other dogs..stands around waiting for bolters the whole package. cant compare him though with a lurcher because he aint one.. when i wanted a whippet lurcher i got this dog.. he was no better than the black dog..

grew unregistrd whippet range from small to 24 inches roughly, greyhound i would call grey, grew , unregistrd whippet, well they must be decent whippets and have strong consituations i was a full time rabbit catcher for a few big eststes , and the old beardies crosses lasted me the longest condition wise feet , keeping the weight, on, some day we were getting 60 plus daily and some nites the pair i had could catch forty plus nitghtly ,if i new whippets were as good as what use guys are saying i wouldnt had bothered with working beardie types , i would have had whippets ,ive saw what whippets are like when worked hard thye come out the kennels like do we have to after two or three seasons , my ole collie things would say give me more graft , ille need to see them type of whippets use keep if any use have very good animals there a free days hunting and ule get good sport and company , and if the dogs are greta well cant ask for any more we shall lamp ferret hunt up and maybe do the same ferret in morning , and a hare if youse fancy it , no eejits time wasters or dogs thta are not steady with stock or ferrets

had a good few seasons lamping with a whippet was out about 3 to 4 times a week and also ferreting was a good dog good thick legs and good feet with thick pads stands 22 tts unfortunatley picked up a injury that finished him working but was sound for 5 seasons dinnt run much plough but rough ground at times i think i was lucky though and are better dogs suited for all terrains

What part of the country you from, im up for it mate..

From what whin has said, the guy talks a lot of sense.

Nice to see piccies of the whippet firstrike, it has caught some good quarry. Liked the piccie of the other dog more though, looks like it had a bit more to it. I would like to think if you took the little black dog for a 60+ day in the dales, it would come away alive.

plenty of graft from your dog, you only get out of a dog what you put in and you have obviously put great time and effort in, credit to you mate .

[Guest foxyjo.]

He's a little star FS!!! Well done to you both!

 

As Malt says "horses for courses!"
