  1. maybe a minute or two at most pal ,as soon as he had a proper grip it was night night pal ,and dont be afraid of the clown in my avatar any chance of a pic of him ,how hes bred ie show ,racing working .ive seen whippets take foxes, most are game enough,always there to lend a hand though,its better for the dog to end it fast
  2. the 3/4 whippet/bull was my first choice but heard that some had thin skin heard good things about j p s dogs
  3. seen this bitch behind a few and she is fast and has plenty of wind.. hi mate yes she does ,but feels the cold badly a 1/4 terrier or 1/4 collie in the mix could be what ime after ,i think we are getting there lads and it would nt slow the offspring down too much atbBB
  4. my bitch does all the above she s 21" do t need any bigger just tougher I realise your bitch does all of the above but alot of smaller types won,t cut it,upping the size seems logical to me,ask yourself why not depends on your land i suppose, mine is small fields, barbwire ,thick cover holds a variety of game , also do rattng there was a 24"lurcher there that couldnt connect like my bitch ,to slow round the cover ,too heavy ,i just like em quick and little .perhaps i am asking too much
  5. my bitch does all the above she s 21" do t need any bigger just tougher
  6. THE WHEATON X AND HE COLLIE X SOUND INTERESTING ,love bushing ratting general mooching, coat and nose very important just want to create a more robust type of dog ime mainly a daytime hunter, the dog should also be able to hold a fox ,i shoot also, so got to be game, also be able to put a fair show in on big rabbits .don t want much do i lol atb BB
  7. shes plenty fast enough, would nt add to skin coat probs though want to keep offspring below 22" also BB
  8. hi all thinking about mating this bitch,shes 21"tts and 30lbs shes game ,fast ,lots of stamina,hunted rats upto munty her breeding is dam 3/4 saluki /ghd sire whippet i bred her, her dam was a brill bitch and shes turning out good too ,my problem is not sure what to put her to. her only faults are vey thin skin and poor thin coat,my initial thought was to use a working whippet ,but i would gain nothing in the skin ,coat department ,i also fancied using a 3/4 bred bull/whppet but same again thin skin .took this bitch ratting on sunday the terriers hardly got a look in, she accounted for over ha
  9. very old pic of my son and sally in her prime she were nt bad at hares either, this all took place over 10 yrs ago
  10. ime not saying they all will, all dogs are different,but my bitch did, and did it well,ive also had other breeds that would nt touch em ,ime no saluki x expert but my bitch did nt start till she was 4yrs old they seem to mature slowly ,so dont [bANNED TEXT] them off too early boys .i used to run her with bull xs to start her off ,she was always the first to get there lol, no good having a big muscular bull x if it can t catch them atb BB
  11. i had a 3/4 saluki/ghd bitch many moons ago, R I P sally could take em on her own never got bit until she got too old ,she had a knack with em she used to hit them and roll em so hard by the time they knew what was goin on the throat hold was on end of ,she hated cats also atb BB
  12. thats bad ,but what if the local keeper caught the two dogs coursing and the owners did a runner, maybe a warning to other dogmen ,i know some nasty b*****d keepers round our way who would stoop that low ,just an idea atb BB
  13. what they catch they eat ,i find this makes the dog keener if its running for its dinner,atb BB
  14. my bitch dam was my old bitch 3/4 saluki x ghd ,sire fast racing whippet ,3yrs old now good feet ,fast, turns well worked rat up to munty ,took a while to mature tho, 21 " tts brill strike very loyal ,bad points does nt retrieve ,thin skin ,feels the cold good allround bitch atb BB
  15. give him a few easy one s . sometimes started too young can cause yapping.or lay him off them for a bit until a bit more mature ,its a hard habit to break once they start BB
  16. my bitch 3/4/saluki/ghd x track whippet worked on rats up to munty 20"tts 28lbs
