    how big as she made? she doesn't look a big bitch, talking to a experienced whippet chap recently and he preferred the smaller traditional sized whippet for mooching, rabbits etc, said overall sharpness was better.

    very nice, her catching squirrels means far more to me than walking round a show ring ever could, yes I find fleas can be problem with squirrels.

    Yes she is kc, pennymeadow whippet, I don't want her running deer I have no interest in them. the greys are booming in numbers at least it's something for the dogs and catty.

    I have learned with age nothing in life is perfect, her nose is bang on been marking since just over 6 months old, catching well rabbits, squirrels, not afraid of cover will enter brambles, nettles etc. only 19tts and lightly built but this adds to her sharpness. takes a lot of knocks cuts, few stitches and Jaws like a gin trap, very hard mouthed. and a baxxrd for deer.

    nice to hear from you, the way he carries his net doesn't bode well for getting through hedges fences etc, wish you well, do you still have the whippet?

    Jack Hargreaves old country on YouTube, longnetting and farm sale. never seen so much rubbish, traditional style, those two have never seen traditional network, length of pegs, not pegging bottom line, and the way net is hanked up
  11. not seen one for years, talking to a chap at work, when we were kids it was the most common finch around here. see plenty of goldies, bully's, chaffinch, but no greenies, is it same elsewhere?
  12. How's the black and white dog bred? mate had one years ago, image of that
  13. he had some handy little mix of terrier and whippet, looked good, don't know if he still comes on here.
  14. I don't like the spun poll stuff, call me old fashioned but you can't beat nylon, 10z are the ones and also had crossbraid nylon, both spot on
  15. netrigger used to make them, don't know if he still makes them, top quality stuff, also Netmaker on here, he knits top quality stuff, had nets from both
  16. I certainly think it's a achievable and you're the right man to do it, you wouldn't have got this far without having what it takes
  17. alas, one couldn't be found
  18. a good whippet will do all that, so will beddywhippet if you can find the right sort.
  19. seem to be rare these days, regularly used to see fox terrier, Staffordshire, Russell, crossed with whippet, made good little mooching, ferreting dogs etc.
  20. after over 3 decades of being a British council worker I take that as a personal slur Mr polski, I have a good mind to call my MP, on second thoughts he's probably tied up with a orange in his mouth and trousers round ankles.
  21. will do, I have only bought it for the whippet
