elliotmcc 67 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 3rd trip out with Midge this year, only starting out on the lamp. He's near too eager walking in on his first rabbit but settles down after the first slip. Fairly starting to come along. Plenty of slips of rabbits in the seat and he will be flying, well chuffed with him ?? 5 Quote Link to post

Haven't really done much ferreting with him, though come spring when there is young ferrets about il be getting a team of jills again. Havent had any in a couple of years, so get a few young uns so i know theyre well handled and break the dog to them. Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 3,827 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Has he got a touch of bull blood? Quote Link to post
elliotmcc 67 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 To be honest im not 100% sure of the breeding, i know the sire is a full racing whippet but the bitch is some sort of whippet x, I thought she was collie whippet, or collie whippet greyhound, though there could be bull in the lines somewhere but im happy with the way hes working and he has plenty of heart so il not complain lol Quote Link to post
