i'm in stoke on trent area
-
first try late, past midnight preferably windy night, be quiet take only one dog at a time until your confident, wait till in field then lamp up, find a sitter and keep lamp bang on it and walk calmly to it preferably down wind of it. get as close as possible if still sits steady your dog so it can see, then pssstt!! or kick it, the dog should chase straight away and remember lamp the rabbit and not the dog. if it catches get to rabbit as quick as possible to stop it sqealing, turn off lamp, pet your dog, and put on lead for next one. thats what i was told when i were young. thanks f

hi I am in desprate need of some advice on how to go lamping for rabbits. I have two whippets that are from excellant working stock , but it's me that is clueless. Any advice would be greatly appriciated like how to approach,time of day, weather, or if you can recommend any books. The fields i take the dogs on have plenty of rabbits but they always seem to have thier backs to me or see me first and leggit well in advance. So where am i going wrong?

Just wondering how she might get on with our 11 month whippet dog (if u still have her). We are currently waiting for a pup from Mike Brown but could consider having an older dog to save all the puppy months. How is she in the house? Also how is she with small children? (7 year old and 2 year old). by the way, she is a beautiful dag.
-
She looks fantastic! How old is she? The new pup we're waiting for is going to come from Lena and Sooty's brother (can't find his name!) We must be mad George has only just stopped chewing everything and now we're getting another. Any advice for introducing the two?

As promised a photo of our 10 month old MB whippet.
-
its a mikey brown whippet - born July last year. I got him in January off a bloke who had him from MB. Where's yours from? Do you have any pictures? Ours must be from the same litter - mother Fly and dad Glen? Will try and put a photo up but my computer skills are very limited!!! We are having another Mike brown whippet soon to go with number 1
-
We didn't get any near any rabbits- they were all on the far side of where we took him - next time will appraoch from the other end. However the good news is that he was as keen as anything and ran faster then we've ever seen him go. We'll be back !

Taking ours out now at ten months - your dog is the twin of ours...where did you get him from?
-
Thanks - will let you know how we get on... knowing our luck he'll completely ignore them!
-
Am nervous and excited that tonight is the night for our 10 month old mike brown whippets first taste of rabbits. Any suggestions?
-
Thanks - do you think I would be better with a bitch or another dog? Does the dog need castrating? Any advice welcome

We have had big issues training our whippet - he was brilliant as a young pup but went completely off once he hit about 7 months. After lots of hard work he is now fantastic at recall, heeling etc. He has no issues being in the house alone but has just come back from three nights in kennels where he was completely miserable - he lost his voice through whining! I am hoping that adding another dog will help with this - or could I be asking for double trouble! Having crated him for the first six months he now sleeps quite happily in the kitchen - should I crate pup 2 or just leave him/ her to set
-
Just wanted to know if anyone has 2 whippets who live together. As a whippet newcomer I currently have 1, 10month old mike brown whippet dog. Am getting another in july- should I choose a bitch or dog and does dog one need the snip?
