patterdale X whippet

[blando 0]

Hi just out of pure interest does a paterdale X whippet make a good cross for a small lamping dog, Does anyone have any pictures of this cross? Or would I be better of with a Bedlington whippet?

My Mrs has got a beddy whippet x with a big black fell type of dog, the mother was the whippet cross and the father the pat, the father was an out and out earth dog and the mother a cracking little lamping bitch. The offspring well if i said they were ugly you wouldnt know the half of it!! The face of whippet, 16" to shoulder with a curly tail and slighlty broken coated! they were an accident obviously but the mrs wanted a pet she could take out ratting and occasionally come ferreting and bit of lamping. I have to say the bitch (the dog that is) is only just a year old and has been a cracking little ratter thus far, got real determination prob thinks its a lot bigger than it is! up to date has caught 4 rabbits on the lamp from 5 nights out and is as entertaining as hell to watch stops at nothing and never gets hurt!! she has had a few days out ferreting and is very sharp but not fast enough on the longer runs! This type of dog would be fine for somebody who mostly ferreted hedgrerows woods etc and did a bit of ratting but as an out and out rabbit dog you'd need something bigger and faster over a longer stretch, she's great fun to watch work and we now have to watch her cos she's trying to go to ground but def has her draw backs! one min she's walking by your side nicely on the lead like a little whippet would the next she turns into demented terrier trying to pull your arm off, prob is in the dogs head she don't know what she is at times, hopefully soon she'll work it out!!

i would of thought a bedy/ whippit would be better.

Does any one have any pictures of this cross as i would be interested to see how they look? i don’t know much about breeding lurchers but if I crossed a patterdale with a whippet and then crossed that with a whippet again is there a chance i would get some good dogs? as then they would have plenty of speed and allot of will power and determination from the terrior but it would still be a small dog.

like red merle said mate a good beddy/whippet should suit your requirements, bred right i'm sure they'd have the determination etc that you are after! and it saves breeding dogs which might not find homes!

i have that cross mate ,defo not a lamping dog, very good ferreting dog or bushing mine looks just like a lanky patt threw to about 15" think she was 3/4 terrier though, still the mother was'nt much taller,

i think there may be a problem with the size they throw ,for serious lamping mate

i've put a bull /whippet on mine,just had pups

WHY. dont get me wrong and i;ll stick my neck out BUT straight ;pedigree bedlingtons are not what they was and maybe never . the majority of earth dogs are three quarter bred be it lakeland /patterdale stick em acoss a whippet and they will hunt like; well lads who have em will know. bit of a problem on the lamp i have a 3/4 bred that will face anything to ground but has come to grieaf on the funny fella;s [only one thing on her mind ].could never even think about lamping with her sh;ed be gone sweat ing thinking about it. but if you know your area and your confident enough. and be prepared for it/ her going to ground go for one this is my opinion only. good luck

Hi Blando you can get ped whippets of all weights & heights whippet racing weights vary from 14lb to 32lb there are also some a lot bigger height wise from 16 inch to 21 which is the limit but again some are much bigger to cross a whippet with a terrier will dileute the speed

[blando 0]

Hi I realise it will dilute the speed, but what I was thinking is why are the non ped racing whippets faster than the peds I was told because fighting terrier blood has been bred into them to give them more fight and determination. My stupid logic was that this mite be the same as many patterdales seem to be very determined dogs. But I can see without diluting the terrier blood some more they will not have the [bANNED TEXT] build to go fast. At was just a thought and I don’t think it will make any better lurchers than already exist so I wont risk the chance of not finding homes for pups in the process trying

Thanks guys all the best rory

Greyhound blood

Most have a lot of greyhound blood close up in their breeding non peds can be anything from around 16lb up to 60+lb.
