lanesra 3,994 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 there have been posts and photos that have proved the whippet's capabilities, no one needs to justify this superb (in my opinion) breed to the douters/uneducated . Quote Link to post
taffey 1,315 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 i dont think you can beat the mike brown /sooty sam lines they seem to have that bit extra they ll give 110 percent every time there slipped on whatever there slipped on. there shit hot with plenty of stamina and quick recovery between runs depending on how fit they are they have lovely calm temperement when not in field but when there working its like turning a switch on and there ready for action Quote Link to post

sascha 7 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 ive got two whippets, youngest 6 months, coming along nicely and be class next season, peice of piss to train. oldest bitch daisy is expert lamper, excellent jumper, shes like a little bull in a china shop thats why i love them and they will take most quarry. dont under estimate there little spindly legs and small size as they arnt as frail as they look. but with any dog its how much time you put into them. mates got a saluki from good lines thats with him all the time nite and day but its paid off cos at 10 months its on of the best behaved bitches ive seen, it listens and thinks about what its doing, doesnt go charging in, waiting to watch her go next year.
