Rusky1984 155 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 If you put the work in with her am sure she will come good in the end my little whippet ran the arse off every thing last season but would not pick them up. This season she is running really well picking them up like she should have been doing all last season just be patient it will come Quote Link to post

Rusky1984 155 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Had my little whippet out on Friday night got the first two rabbits I raced her on. Got to the next field there was a rabbit sitting about ten yards in to field so i slipped her on it she raced it along the fence and after a few twists and turns it dove under the fence she tried to follow it and smashed in to the barbed wire when she came back I noticed she had a cut on her shoulder about the size of a five pence and a slit on her chest about two niches long so that cut my night short had her to the vet on Saturday morning got a few stitches in her chest so that's me not playing out for a week or two Quote Link to post
WILF 44,196 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Ginger beard That's teenagers for you.......sal/bull/ greys take a while to mature anyway and can be frustrating c**ts. Just seen your bitch is 3, mine used to have a mad one every blue moon......the type of episode that has you saying "what the f**k are you doing?!" It never lasted beyond that a couple of nights and then normal service would be resumed. Don't sweat it mate. Edited September 17, 2017 by WILF Quote Link to post
Rusky1984 155 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Had my bitch to the vet on Friday just gone to get her stitches out got two new farms to do while she been out of action they have a good few bunnies on them and a lot of hears so al be hitting them this weekend with one of my mates no barbed wire fences up there just hedges should make for a good nights lamping Quote Link to post
