  1. Whippets I've seen tail foxes then on the throat, if they were bigger they'd probably crush the chest.
  2. I caught something off uncatchable Sue, or was that Run Around Sue ?.
  3. Already have the best ferrets mate, lol.
  4. Because I mainly ferret I take my pups along as soon as they can follow, it's never put one off missing them. If I was doing as much as you do I'd probably go for a sturdier type instead of straight running dogs.
  5. Don't really agree, even creeping up, down wind to warrens without dogs. Depends more on the rabbits environment and their wariness to local dangers what I've seen but I always try to be quiet.
  6. That looks like the ex mother in law sunbaking down at Bondi beach in the old days. Saluki's did well to pull that down ?.
  7. Just that all the good running dog breeds come from the UK, sandy environments not so much, lol.
  8. Plenty of land but the rabbits are getting scarce around here in NSW. I agree with the UK breeding, cattle dogs and dingoes as lurchers and I'd starve to death.
  9. They seem to hole hop most when the warrens are near humans, the worst property I ferreted had a dozen sheep dogs chasing them constantly and none bolted, the ferrets killed them in the ground in every warren there.
  10. Good points, they sound nearly as good as mine, lol.
  11. The saluki obviously, they are closest to the wolf in trainability, lol. Thousands of years of evolution refined them to the ultimate speed machine, the mighty whippet ?.
  12. Very true, dogmen have probably been arguing over who's dog is better since we tamed wolves, sort of like an ancient tradition, lol.
  13. mC HULL, the saluki crosses have no votes you traitor, lol.
  14. Nice looking bitch and not knocking her or her performance but she looks like my mates 3/4 whippet 1/4 kelpie. Longer body and not as deep chest as the whippets here in Oz.
  15. Plenty of them that have trouble catching rabbits in some areas here, including some big hare dogs.
  16. I like dogs that can jump fences for reasons mentioned but I had one that wouldn't jump any height fence, he was good when doing pest control near highways and busy roads. When I got one of these jobs I left the other dogs at home.
  17. Nice animal mC HULL and I'm sure it does you proud but still wouldn't cut it in the steep boulder hills compared to the smaller dogs I have.
  18. I think pastoral type dogs are wired to be obedient but I think terriers have far superior intelligence despite, or because they are cnts.
  19. I don't expect my dogs to do party tricks and don't tell them how to hunt or sool them on. I do pull them up if they fck up so I suppose that's training. I've learnt more off working bred dogs than I could teach them.
  20. Only sand stuck between your dogs toes, lol.
  21. I've found pure whippets do what you want them to do and are looking to please but I don't really train dogs, I let them do their thing.
  22. I was always led to believe the whippet is the fastest land animal over 50m.
