nice pics mate

sounds like a good day nice photos pal

good day for dogs and men by the looks of things, good clean sets, quick runs and some excellent photography.

 

Do your whippets open up (Yap) when coursing. The reason i ask is that i am thinking of putting my bitch back to a whippet. i know some do and some dont and to some people it doesnt matter but it can be a bugger if your ferreting woodland every noise sounds twice as loud and then the rabbits spend all morning galloping around the warren.

 

This is a genuine enquiry im not knocking whippets :thumbs:

well Nigel invited me out this morning for a trip to the dales, I had young Dodger with me, and Nigel had Jack, the paln for the day was to bolt for the dogs and see what happened,

 

we had some fantastic sport and a few luck reabbits got away.

 

Dodger is showing excellent promise for me with good marking, speed agility and a good strike, he certainly lacks no confidens.

he made some cracking catches today for me and together the dogs bagged 10 for the freezer.

 

I managed to get a few photos so here they are.

Answereing your question mate, i have 2 neither of which open up there silent assasins.

my frriend who has the black dog has 5 whippets and only 1 opens up occasionally which is the black dog he was bred by a racer and had been raced where he feels the bad habbit arrised, but once he has caught a couple he tends to settle down and not yap.
