it's only a wind up comment mate for mchull, but he's too experienced to bite, coursing dogs are the best at what they do, but a good whippets prey drive is as high as they come.

Stopped in Newcastle arms

Never had one not come back mate, some just leave them in Kennel till 12 months old and take them out except them to come back you gotta bond with them bring them on like any other lurcher

Use to do abit of hedge laying, coppicing and makeing hurdles out of hazel , sadly no one seems to want it these days . farmers would sooner machines , cheaper quicker but to me always looks a mess

For you to keep on crabbing whippets the way you do, I really don't think you've seen ANY good whippets, Gooey.

the saluki prey drive is that high it doesn't come back home.

If Dan comes up Seagull are you going to race him

My opinion ain't it from been around plenty of both shaarko lol

If you've been around alot a lurchers whippets and a good coursing bred you'd know exactly what I'm trying to say the prey drive is completely different My little red bitch is like with the roe just not big enough lol

No I agree mate for that type a rabbiting a good whippet is superb

Everyone has there beliefs but I done and seen enough in the past to know any breed can be driven if bought on and entered right the whippet no exception. Thanks mate

You think I'm f***ing about with Laurel & Hardy FFS. They have mC's number, one gave him the sob story about being 66 instead of just turning up and the other logs off for the day and night when I tell him to come up. And yes this is getting pathetic now I agree, so they need to put up or shut up.

Think they might be Bulice....slightly different to sloe...a little bigger..usually grow in bunches....and I think the plant doesn't have thorns...but they look identical but a little bigger

If you ain’t ever saw a whippet with same drive then you ain’t saw very good whippets mate, I had a whippet bitch for a season an had to dig her out 2 earths she went to ground on after chasing a fox haha an another time a mate lost his whippet on lamp an when we found her she had killed a hare about 4 fields away in dark? Next morning when I was walking the terriers we found 3 dead rabbits in same field haha an iv had a whippet stuck to a roe an get dragged through a forest block needing 17 staples in her, she could have let go at anytime, but she was a driven wee thing an refused to haha not

Keep your eye out for a man eating olive's

This is pathetic haha haha just Fcuking swap postcodes, phone numbers or shut the fcuk up haha haha no you sent it first, no you send it, no you send it first ffs haha haha

You'll soon learn, mate, if Gooey says whippets have very little prey drive etc etc, then he's obviously correct. Two very nice pups, by the way.

In the middle of it, thousands and thousands of us here

I get what your saying about the saluki X I had a few before I took a brake from the dogs couple out the dan dog Jamie dog bulldozer franny all high prey drive all quick enough in my eyes but I wouldn't want to lamp that type on little grass paddocks golf courses local and expect to take them to arable land in the day as well, not saying they won't kill but alot of dog for the job that's where the whippet comes in for me good little dog to take my boy out lamping and mooching and Ive seen a few very driven whippets and crosses if they see enough game like any other running breed

If your saluki x is to slow for small land it's just to.slow full stop mate them 2 pups you have speed wise will be similar for hundred yards then the bigger dog will lead But I was meaning more you and your kids out for a walk with the dog off a lead mate a whippets is like walking a staffy if might have a chase if something catches it eye But a saluki cross that's descent you couldn't walk off the lead it's hunting up using its. Nose wants to kill something all the time none stop

The members of Mumsnet are out in full force today....

Perhaps you can hold his hand and calm him down Old Yellow? Lol

What the feck does having his number change you utter mongo? Your arse has clearly fallen out and all I'm seeing is wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, beep, beep, beep.

Dunno mate I like both types it's horses for courses my whippet will be for small fields just local mostly lamping the saluki x will be for day job doesn't mean they both can't serve there purpose
