Frank Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 One of the reason I prefer lurchers to whippets ,is because the lack of height in the whippet means they are easily unsighted,a dog that stands taller sees more that is going on,so can react quicker ,as well as being faster. A whippet going flat out may look the fastest thing on four legs,but a well bred Lurcher of around 23"will be easily quicker! and a more versatile hunting companion, I'm not knocking Whippets,in fact i'm a fan of them ,and they can make handy little ferreting dogs,and I would choose a straight whippet over a whippet cross lurcher such as a beddy\whippet every time, but my experience has taught me to go for a bigger type of Lurcher that can use its Brains as well as its speed. All the best Mick. Cheers Mick Makes sense that. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
