NEVER TRIED Quote Link to post

milliken 791 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 its all about the heart in the dog the ones that dout the gameness of these we dogs are the ones that have see there well breed bull cross pull up at a fox not a pritty sight when you think about the weight diffrence of a big lurcher and a whippet but not every whippet will take them but when you think that a whippet is twice the weight of a fox i dont see why people find it hard to belive that they take to odd one robert Quote Link to post
shinyspade 2 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 there is a large variation on what is considered to be a whippet. but small pure whippets arnt the dog for fox. would be like shooting them with an air rifle in my opinion . they are under powered Quote Link to post

luke 2 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 whippets arnt fox dogs but most are game to tackle one but it realy should be discouraged as its pointless having a good rabbit dog layed up Quote Link to post
gazza01 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 iv had pure bred whippets for years and they will pull a fox its madness to let them attempt to kill one they ha vent the size or strength race type whippets now that's a different thing altogether much stronger Quote Link to post
redlorryyellowlorry 27 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 my mates whippet is a demon when confronted by a fox and punches well above its weight Quote Link to post

will.f11 24 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 ive seen a fox taken by a whippet back before the ban but it could only hold for a short time, so we ran a terrier with it to hold the fox Quote Link to post
adrianvygus 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 That was some bloody catch! Mine used to pile into them but only killed one, a half grown cub. Quote Link to post

At the risk of seeming verbose it's funny how the gajo's think you have to train a dog to dislike a Fox, my Glen of Imall x JR just by way of an example played with a fox cub in my mates front room but ten months later he'd rip through concrete to tear the throat out of one!
