  1. Cheers Pennymeadow, how's Missy doing? Missy is spot on mate & catching plenty

  3. Most racing whippets are stripped right down in weight as they are handicaped by weight 1 yard per pound so a 30lb dog will give a 20lb dog 10 yards start.
  4. We net some warrens but leave open holes for the dogs to chace & catch bolters as we are there to catch rabbits the dogs work the open land flushing & catching freely we also lamp without problems on all terrains when i worked the whippets in cheshire/Derbyshire where numbers were low in comparison the dogs were good enough to hold their own & picked up less injuries than the bigger lurchers run with them even on the old quarries IMO due to body weight.
  5. Rabbiting dogs yes anything else a bonus But all caught in the Dales or Cumbria.
  6. Evening Primrose Capsules will help out
  7. Read this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin Taken from the above link This particular mutation was not found in other muscular dog breeds such as boxers and mastiffs, nor was it found in other sighthounds such as greyhounds, Italian greyhounds, or Afghan hounds. The authors of the study suggest that myostatin mutation may not be desirable in greyhounds, the whippets' nearest relative, because greyhound racing requires more significant endurance due to the longer races (900 meters for greyhounds vs. 300 meters for whippets).
