the myth of greyhound ferrets.

reading on another forum about a proposed litter of very small ferrets.

these are described as "greyhound" and in the time honoured tradition of the "blind leading the blind" that seems to prevail on that forum a good deal of backslapping echoed round the thread.

now i know a little about mustelids, i have kept stoats and weasels and my own strain was pretty good until it became too inbred.

greyhound ferrets were thin very long bodied, but very heavy ferrets that were super aggresive. they were openly advertised as a "type" by a bloke called williams, back in the 1960's they were prized for ratting.

my mate has some really undersized and malnourished ferrets i think im gonna sell them for £30
