    she's just gone 10 weeks old mate and she is like lightening compared to lurcher pups at same age. She's all for me like my shadow the misses hates it ? Ye will be worked a little bit.. She's from a bitch 20 inch and a dog 22.5tts. Bitcg is rabbiting bitch and seen faster ones too. The dog is supposed to have done quite alot especially for a whippet but he defo a strong type. The pic does make her look abit thin.. Duno if it was lighting and her sniffing or what. Cheers for the comments.

    Picked up a whippet bitch last week. Mainly a pet for her indoors but hopefully get her out next season too. Lovely nature and real people's dog these whippets.

    What's the difference between a whippet and working whippet. Most the coursing stuff was from show stuff and vice versa. Just picked up a nice whippet myself, pet for the partner ? ?

    My pup has been in an around sheep from early on mate. Was fine until 10 to 12 months old was walking a hill and some sheep btoke out of cover and he went after them like bullet.... I chased him down and give him a going over. Regardless of what people say about not hitting a dog, it's not acceptable and after running round 10 minutes on a cold mountain if it had been a gun to hand I'd of shot the c**t myself ?.. After that I went religiously everyday round sheep. He was fine, but one day then some sheep broke from some over hanging trees and brambles... Usually rabbits bolt... But sheep did i

    Whippet... Why complicate things

    Had two dogs percentage wise 3/4 but bred differently. One had beardy and one is just border. Prefer the border hands down, far easier to live with, more responsive, not sulky like beardy or temperamental... Just all round abit sounder upstairs lol time will tell how good he is, but it won't take much to beat the beardy I had if I'm totally honest. Beardy x was mustard on rabbits etc. Run few other stuff but never connected, had a good nose. That said the border Hancock x I have has far better nose, faster and more powerful with a better strike... Strikes like a greyhound, clever run but dri

    Read majority of it...and some shit is spoken and some good points... But I'd agree with shady having done quite abit with terriers... My mate at one point was giving away fox dogs on a weekly basis lol Without getting into it...if you know, you know.

    Where I live u got to travel around an hour, to see a deer. Mostly fallow and roe. I saw a dead munty no more than 3 minutes from my house, picked it up, no dog or shot wounds it had been hit. Really suppriaed me as I live in a very built up town. Hope it's signs of things to come. Also the big beasts are heading my way closer every year as well over mountains.

    Defo does matter on condition of animal... I shoot loads of rabbits, and big bucks taste f***ing buzzing...where as 3/4grown ones are the ones to eat. Both cooked the same, both shot the same lol It defo is a myth.... Also...what happens when deer get shot? Not all of them drop on the spot. A large percentage run off...run off on what? Ahhhh adrenaline....so must be full of adrenaline too ?

    Like you, I like a look of rough lurchers...but, the take more looking after, smell more, over heat quicker on warmer nights on the lamp, and when they cut its harder to deal with than a smooth coat. Plus a smooth coat u can appreciate the shape to them more. So for me. Smooth

    Iv known lads to go out and prove the dogs worth, and fter a season of being oit flat out the numbers thing definitely wears thin...and the loss of enjoyment that goes with it. Without doing numbers of each species you will never find out whether it's the all rounder everyone craves Like has been said as long as it catches u what you want it to now an again, noting else matters really. But to me a all rounder is a lurcher that can follow terriers in the day bushing etc and be ok at ferreting. And catch rabbit hare and deer...but have enough speed in the dog to make it happen more than it

    why is the striker difrent to the 150,,,you can add a cord to both and dangle from your neck,,,,why would you not.. and why would anybody chuck a lamp on the ground.....? i duno why he did it, he didn't throw it at the ground hard... But just dropped it to the floor while dealing with things.

    Pedigree Hancock lurchers, only the merle ones.

    why have a dog with the mental ability of a collie and keep it on a slip? To me that would be like owning Einstein and then telling him how to write the theory of relativity.because it's my dog and il do what I want with it when lamping. I just think it's better personally. The dogs with collie in iv had, if for example I was oit for rabbits and something else popped up, in awkward place I wouldn't be able to stop em.
  19. Somewhereyournot
    I think when u are "doing things" in field after a catch, alot of people probably just throw the cordless on the ground...where strikers u can dangle from your neck. Possibly why some are breaking. Lad I know had tree deben replaced with faults but he kept throwing it or dropping it to floor. He put a lanyard on his third an it's been fine since.

    I couldn't put up with a dog stalking on the lamp. Do you think this is caused by lads working dogs to heel on the lamp? Only known of it when.boys have worked without a slip. Yet all my lurchers have had collie in and have been busting to be slipped and very full on. And have always worked off a slip as this is what I prefer.

    for most it means anything edible including birds. Iv not seen many any type of lurcher picking birds up, usualy collie x and whippets I see.
  22. Somewhereyournot
    Any pics of the pups, I haven't got a youngster for it...but was interested in this breeding since u said. Unless I missed a thread about em? Atb finding em homes.

    Defo worth looking into the colour of light aswell as many prefer a warmer light.

    You do get alot of other crosses including ones with saluki and bull in that end up quitting on rabbits. No one knows fully what goes on in dogs head. I think if u kept slipping collie types on hedge rabbits then they probably would f**k it off before another cross...but that's missing the point completely... No point slipping your dog if u don't think it will catch it.. Wasting everyone's time. That being said my hairy collie x, slip him on a hedgerow figitey type rabbit, the ones that are undecided whether to go in or not...and 9-10 he would turn the fuckers off the hedge and nab them.

    Is it crossed with a hyena? Lovely markings you won't hear me say this very often about hancock dogs but I like the look of him, looks solidhaha, iv just screen shot this lolWana see him with his ears up he looks like a wild dog. Ye he's pretty robust. I got told 3/4 bred end up to brittle and break, he's took many of tumbles, knocks into trees, and even running amongst rocks. Aw shit coats aswell, but has a thick dense coat. Can't wait for next season, he run a RB at 11 months and looked good. We will see. If he no good, it's back to drawing board, no excuses the way I do things, good g
