  1. we are all at the mercy of what we are told is in the breeding. you try and do your homework to tip the odds in your favour and a lot of hard work goes into a breeding program. l have always bought pups in, sometimes it works other times not. bitch I have now is a unregistered beddy to a non ped whippet. not got a clue about the beddy, could have a bit of fell in it, but she does everything I bought her for?
  2. had nets off both of them (Netmaker and netrigger) can't fault either of them. top quality ?
  3. rabbits running along the net is very common, always tail your nets, by this I mean set the last 20yard at a right angle so it's pointing back into the field.
  4. I like the look of that. would fancy trying a whippet x wheaton cross
  5. Wouldn’t you expect a more uniform litter putting a first cross back to running dog? ie whippet or greyhound. less in the mix than lurcher to lurcher?
  6. same here mate. I would have thought they would be rarer than beddys
  7. why complicate things? just use your judgement of what u believe the type of cross will suit and buy a pup. take a chance. you can search for the holy grail, jump through hoops and it could still turn out not what you want. Good luck ?
  8. it all comes down to what you want to hunt and work. mine are no good on anything bigger than a rabbit, but I am not interested in anything bigger than a rabbit. plenty of types for different jobs ?
  9. a good Whippet x or straight whippet should do the job for you.
  10. Yes mate, but these were big tall oak trees and soon disappeared.
  11. Nice one ?. out this morning, saw a few but couldn't get near them. they were off along the tree tops.
  12. what is that famous quote katchy? I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member
  13. I think they were called a eubank or something, and I don't mean Chris.
  14. years ago it would have been the folding fourten and high powered air rifles. now as said before a changing world full of do gooders. but we have adapted to it and are enjoying it, talk about old dogs and new tricks ?
  15. there looks a useful litter on pets for homes, 5/8ths. 3/8ths. but at todays prices £1450. only the pet homes must be paying it.
  16. it all comes down to personal preference really. I only have bitches, I seem to bond well with them. work wise I would say nothing to choose between the two.
  17. remember grasshopper, experience comes with age?
  18. I had one off Kelly in 91 good little ferreting bitch I was happy with her.
  19. I don't know about Phil Haynes, I meant a friend of mine has kept beddywhippets for over 40 years.
  20. a very good friend of mine had one from him a few years ago. he's kept beddywhippets over 40 years. he said he was full of it most of it bullshit. however the pup he bought, a small liver bitch made about 20tts.one of the best dogs he's ever had.
  21. looks like she’s making a cracking little dog?. type and breeding play a big part but just as important or more importantly is how they are entered and everyday bought on. she's a real credit to you and what you have put in?
  22. sounds like a good tool your using Mr Wilkes can see the advantages ?. remember the pheasants are for ornamental purposes only.
  23. it's a low dirty trick to play. it makes good people think twice about trusting people, unfortunately that can effect the genuine ones who do exist.
  24. forgive my ignorance lads. this is only form of social media I have anything to do with. how do you get scammed on Facebook?
