Mate my Wheaton x bitch is 27 tts and 80/90 lb fighting weight...had her out ferreting from first jabs with longnets etc,around the harris/gos hawks, she's done everything you would use a whippet/smaller dog for,she loves the deer,that's what she's mostly used for,she comes out ratting,on the moles with me, people have told me she only be good for one thing...she runs forest blocks,hills,even been down on the chalk/flint and put plenty to bed,I believe you expose a dog to as much as you can,as young as you can,giving them the opportunity to pick it all up,they learn when to use their speed, s

While eating Sunday dinner with the family my daughter informed me I would be a granddad come September.I dont feel like a grandad.Any advice?

It's great being a Grandad. My daughter with the " Grandlings". This was taken a few years ago ,the oldest one is now doing a Masters degree ! You'll get to do the stuff you did with your daughter all over again. And you van give them back at the end of the day! Congratulations

Bass. Don’t go short of fish so cook it every way I can. Very tasty

you know when you laugh about me summer with pups before first season lol well you have a pup it’s a hunting dog so you go out everyday letting them play run fight course each other then at some point its nose will take over then it will spring something and all the while it’s around cover etc so it’s comfortable around it not running into branches because it ain’t been off a lead and it’s that fired up seeing something it goes 209 mile an hour

Class that bitch mate up there with the best i have watched on film in a wile. Very good around hedges and cover it pays off getting them around cover as pup's that's obviously to see in the vid.

It was life changing for my dad having grandkids . Before my kids were born he was slowly turning into a miserable old b*****d . Years of recovery from a broken back after falling through a loft hatch in work , the realisation his retirement wouldn't be the free time to do what he always wanted that he had planned because of his back etc . Grandkids came along and it was as if life was breathed into him. If he didn't see them for 3 or 4 days my mum would message " could you bring the kids around for a hour or so if you've got time, your dad's getting cranky not seing them " He made blow

trev70 told me you want a mix of working, racing, coursing lines, I like these pennymeadow whippets, does what it says on the tin

Cheapo Aldi steak, with skin on chips, mushrooms, bit of greenery and some lemon and black pepper mayo, steak wasn’t bad for a couple of quid

Or a cross of the two

Man you're gonna love it . It's the best thing in the world . It's like raising your own kids all over again , only this time you know what you're doing .

After my big dogs accident I didn't think I'd get another lurcher but here we are back in the saddle.

Mallyfields Vixen, double Sooty Sam bred ; The best working pedigree whippet I’ve seen. Cheers.

I had a whippet as a youngster but it wasn’t upto much due to fact we lived in middle of Glasgow, she tried tho an we was young so it was all experience for us. About 15 years ago I was hard at the lamping, catching rabbits for game dealer, few lads off here used come through here couple times a week an we would lamp all night, my bitch took real ill an needed pts, I was gutted went lamping couple times without dog, to neck the bunnies an drop them in the back pack while lad holding lamp was runnin another, it’s how we done it. Was a lad with us from Halifax who bred whippets, still does.

Hope you're doing ok mate.....probably like yourself i have folk around me who try to be kind and supportive who you push away in an attempt to take it on the chin and try to just endure the pain alone but im gradually learning that it does help to listen to people....a quote someone said to me a while ago that stuck with me as something to hold onto is that " Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love "...wish you the best pal.

No man born from his mother frightens me! Lol

We bought a whippet pup just as a pet. I promised the Mrs I wouldn't work it. After a lifetime of late night adventures, injuries to the lurchers and outside dogs, I'm a reformed character. Mutt is spoiled to f**k and the wife's toy. Fair dos.She gets a real bang out of it. I do miss bringing up a lurcher, entering it , mooching and lamping though. But time catches up.

gl is the man mate he’s around some corkers

RIP rags , and thanks very much to the man off here who gave me her. She was a great one.

Cheers Arry

Thought Muay Thai would have taught you calmness and discipline lol but I agreee with you mate one minute he's running around playing action man the next wanking cows off then preaching to an experienced dog man like yourself who's been there done it worn the t shirt on how to enter young dogs ..... the cheek of him lol

If anything reading the terribly sad story’s on this thread should make you all feel like you ain’t alone. Theres story’s here that would have most men unable to stand up in the morning, crushing…..and yet ordinary every day blokes find a way to carry on. Nobody can take another blokes pain away but this thread is testiment to the fact that people just like “you” can find a way to cope and live and contribute some kindness to the world…..that’s the very best way to honour someone imho.

I’ve got a big strong non ped whippet. Blue dog stands at 22” and built like an outhouse, been an excellent working dog for me although he is way to keen on deer for my liking. Despite his size he has caught several fallow but also takes a fearful kicking at times but doesn’t seem to put him off. I would have another but would be very careful about the dog as would want another big string one which aren’t so easy to find.

Breed as in peddle? Nobody just breeds on regular basis unless they are in it for the £££. You'll find litters of collie crosses if you keep on looking.

Why would anyone want the British in the peace talks when it was Boris that scuppered the Minsk Accord under the instructions of the Yank's. Another cnut with an enormous amount of blood on his hands that not so long ago lads on here were calling the great saviour. Oh and Farage is another cnut who will sell the British to the highest bidder.

To be fair mate he is probably one the guys I’d get in contact with when time comes, iv always really waited for litters. What I do most lurchers can do, some better than other but I don’t mind how good they are as long as they try haha so iv always waited for good litters off guys who have thought about what they doing an had previous success. Part of reason I do what I do is I enjoy bringing young dogs on, a then playing to there strengths as they adults. But aye I’m thinking about rebuilding me kennels soon whilst they empty, but soon as they sorted I’ll deffo be looking for summat an gl ma

The hardest thing I've ever done was watching my daughter get married this past weekend.Im still crying.I taught her to catch crawdads when she was little. She had a natural talent for bowfishing. She loves to shark fish. She had always been my digging partner with terriers until one day she brought this boy along with us who is now my son in law. Feeling gutshot from losing my digging partner,fishing partner and daughter in the blink of an eye. Any of yall men with little girls,hug em and take em fishing while you can.

I take it you are having a spaniel then

A spaniel will pull on the lead. As you know they are high energy/ driven. Not good for a lady pensioner. Just arrive home with a cute whippet pup as a present for her. Wrap it in a pink bow. Job done.

If you are gonna drop em you don't give them 150 yards head start... like you say its lazy though, I don't think it teaches them much imo..each to their own though, if nothing else this site has taught me other the years we certainly ain't all the same! Lol

Looks like the Germans have blocked any “peace keeping” troops. Scholtz walked out of the meeting saying he was irritated by Starmers suggestion. Cheers.

Just glad I'm not around those sort of people . imagine being locked up 24\7 with that Brett the stuff of nightmares.

Don't believe everything you read, those cnuts starve dogs themselves.

Yes mate lol

This threads better then eastenders lol

Now listen ...if your going to arrange a straightner....use what 3 words......cos we don't want you guys turning up at the wrong place like last time..lol

Raw old wind today. Made up a stew from left over Lamb and Chicken and all veg in fridge and garden. Cheers Arry

Thank you lads. I’ve spent the day balling my eyes out, scaring people with my attitude, yelling, getting beat by the mrs at pool, forcing myself to eat, nearly threw the fridge out of the window coz it packed up and I’m pretty sure Spotify knows how to piss me off coz the song I had to carry our kid too just randomly came on in a rock list. My mum has Alzheimers so I can’t talk to her about it because it makes it like it just happened again for her. My mrs has been my rock today and kept me out of bother. My head is battered yet you lads have shared your hearts and helped keep me sane..

Ped or non ped steve

better taking the cruise lol

Shame about Catterall. It was close. Does Parker have a chance? I think so. The logical argument is Dubois is born again,is fulfilling his potential and that he will easily overpower Dubois. But Parker is no mug and is also a better fighter under new trainers than he was. And Dubois leaves himself exposed nearly all of the time. Parker's best chance imo is to take Dubois into the later rounds and see if he can get into Dubois' head. Just maybe Danny the quitter will reveal himself again. Looking forward to it.

Flying to Australia mC said.

Had an Indian just off Covent Garden,nice.Going there I saw a spitfire parked up outside the royal Albert hall surrounded by TV crews,don’t know what that was about,also found a restaurant with a full grown giraffe and lion inside.

Shashi, the last winner, Cashells Evening, the little American bitch that did well in the last Cup, Cheers.

Sad day and they ain’t stopped chipping since

3 cages all linked with ramps but can be closed off to isolate hob from jills
