I know they will chase a deer, but, no way they could take one down. They will chase about anything, and I am glad there are no badgers around here!!! I would guess a coyote in a pack would target a lone whippet and then the whippet would run
We had some stupid rabbits that would come in our yard. I would always knock on the door before letting out Cinny. I loved to see her chase, but didn't want to see her kill!
