  1. I just think the buck was a little rut-crazed,I wouldnt know about "Bummed"
  2. I read the story in a bowhunting mag,he was hunting during the rut and had smothered himself in doe oustrus scent.
  3. Who said money doesnt grow on trees
  4. Wasnt in the 's artic,and these arent in a boot,but they do prove whippets have their uses
  5. This times the exception I will stick some pics up next week that prove whippets can catch the odd rabbit or two on rough ground,picture speaks a 1000 words
  6. JPT,you live in a gret area for whippets,someone will take you out,base your choice on that
  7. Ah,glad thats sorted then,so you werent speaking from long-standing practicalities but from the odd occassion out with whippets?Hate to reiterate,ounce of practical is better than a ton of theory
  8. Thats better artic,earlier when you said your always practical I was expecting you to stick a pic up of your whippet I thought you must have had or worked one,thats what I meant by an ounce of practical beats a ton of theory Anyone can theorise,but its only those who have actually owned or worked a whippet who can actually speak from experience
  9. Mack, as you know, I've done a bit, (and still do!!!), around Northumberland, and before I got the wander lust, it was the ONLY place I worked my dogs, which at the time were predominately Whippets; if they could handle this ground, they could handle owt !!! LOL !!! Cheers. Its true Charts,northumberland is hard ground,its not easy
  10. My mistake,when you said "Pocket" and beddie I mistook it for a "Poachers-pocket" as I have seen several which looked like bedlington crosses
  11. say that again sorry i dont get you? x What exactly constitutes a "Poachers-pocket" lurcher?
  12. How much are poachers-pocket chris?Is it just a first cross or bedlington/lurchersX bedlington/lurchers linebred?
  13. Not archives mate,just some very small dogs with a few rabbits
  14. Patley bridge in yorkshire?Cant imagine your area is any different,certainly havent seen anywhere in your county I wouldnt feel confident in running a dog.Give me a few days,I have some negatives of my first dogs up in the loft,let me get hard copy from them,whippet types that we all had as kids,I have a decent pic of a few rabbits they caught over a couple of nights on really hard ground in northumberland,never got a nick,scratch,nor mark on them,they werent pure whippets,just sold as whippets But an ounce of practical is worth a ton of theory
  15. Which part of the north was the guy from who sent his whippet back up?
  16. Bedfordshire was never exactly renown for its arduous terrain,ask your mate with the frail fragile whippet to take you north,try parts of yorkshire and northumberland,its a little different
  17. The terrain in your area artic is no better and certainly no worse than the north of england mate,thats a fact
  18. I think the only people who can answer the original posts are those who have owned whippets and worked them around the british isles for several seasons to evaluate their performance
  19. His daughters exactly the same size as he is now Micky She still has growth in her.
