I bred them (as showdogs) for over 15 years, and wound down because they paced, and whined, and cried all the time. Bored to snores when not actually DOING something. I was not interested in going hunting, although I did dosome obedience, and Gundog obedience with them. Not enough. We want to HUNT. Whippets were so much easier, and laid back and QUIET.You are gross. Really? You bred a hunting dog and weren't into it? Gross.
