Vermin Dropper 2 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 YOU CANT EVER SAY IT WILL MAKE THE GRADE FROM A PIC OF A PUPPY Nor that it won't mate. Just give the dog its puppyhood, plenty of time to see if it's got the heart and power to do the job, Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 weight counts as much as size im sure the down side to a whippet is its lightweight when it comes to taking fox regular. Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,375 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 seen a small (19") blue bitch (whippetty type) "TRISH" on foxes back in the 's she could handle them well and many other bigger things too, belonged to a then young lad (i think his first lurcher), the young fella's now a well respected terrier and lurcher man (member of THL) with a lot of good dogs around him but i'm sure he still remembers "TRISH" with great pride, a pleasure to have worked the fields and and dartmoor with you both. great memories....treasured. Those were the days..........That little bitch was the best tenner that I ever spent.A truly game little bitch. We had some great times and sport,the things we used to get upto...lol I most certainly have many fond memories of our escapades.Likwise it was truly a pleasure,thanks mate. Quote Link to post
