Whippet Poodle- Anyone Have Experience Of This Cross?

[devo12]

interesting to see how these turn out I would be wary of using a miniature poodle are they tough enough? but it all depends on the individual. In theory a standard poodle is not a bad ingredient in a lurcher it would want to go to a saluki greyhound rather than a pure grey as the saluki would lghten the bone of the offspring. I wouldn't say it would be the finished article but as an ingredient there are worse.

Any update on this litter or pictures of poodle lurchers?

I have shown and bred miniature poodles for a few years now and also have a standard for a pet. Since getting interested in lurchers i keep looking at the poodles in a new light also.

My miniature girls are excellent hunters, brilliant at ratting but not quite fast enough to catch bunnies though they give it 110%. My standard is only 10 months old and still goofy but he's very elegant and has a lot of speed & agility, will be interesting to see how he and my lurcher pup fair in the speed/endurance when they are both older :thumbsup:

Why is there a need to cross a whippet with a poodle - why wouldn't you just get a Bedlington? :unsure:

Hi. Not sure what all the fuss is about. You have as much right as anyone else to breed crosses, and I can see why you chose whippet and poodle- they sound just like the sort of dog I am looking for. Do you have a litter yet? If so, will you be selling any pups?

Hello well said I have just mated my Whippet bitch with my friends Beddy,Lots of views about this cross in different forums,some good some bad...

hi. i met a whippet x poodle at a show last weekend. she was very similar in appearance to my beddie whippet and seemed a similar temperament. her owner said she didn't moult at all and that she was quick to learn and had a high prey drive. attractive dog but maybe not as suited to working as a bedlington cross, you never know though. think the puppies will sell well anyway as have the unusual factor. good luck with it. :thumbsup:
