I would consider training one for other forms of hunting.

Mate has had a couple of whippets. If the latest one manages to get out, it comes home with a chicken each time, happy as hell The last one (Biggles) had worked out all the banks and rises at the local park, and used them to do high speed turns on. I once watched it spook a cat, and as the cat ran off as fast as it could, the whippet was cantering alongside in mid gear, sniffing this cats arse as it sprinted. Funniest shit ever
