  1. Ha Ha She was 10 mate in the Video. Here it is if anyones interested. https://youtu.be/2AdiK9ZDr5o
  2. Vixen was still lamping at 8 years old and still catching well, now at 91/2 i take her for the odd morning ferreting but just guarding the nets and marking the warrens. She's still catching on her walks although she's using her nose and catching in cover more as she hasn't the pace to catch that often in the open. She still loves getting the tree rats lol
  3. Yes quite a few showbred dogs carry coursing lines, I do like them there far more biddable than the racing type whippets and even though i can't speak of any others apart from my own, mine have been relatively easy to train. They will work to hand signals to pick up game or find a squatter out in the fields and like you say they have plenty of wind for the longer runs. You can't beat a dog with a nice deep chest In my opinion, plenty of room for heart and lungs. Vixen in her prime (she's 91/2 now) Steve66 I traveled down to gloster and used Helen Waymans dog (scarletfair one knight)
  4. My dog Sagar is 21 1/2" His Mother Vixen 20 1/2" I used nice typey, strong, show bred stud dogs to produce both mainly because none of the lads i asked with 'working whippets' at the time would let me see there dogs work before i used them over my bitch 'Vixen' and before her, her mother Jess. Whippets have got bigger over the years, go to any kennel club show and take a look at them. You'd struggle to find a dog in the ring under 20" and also struggle to see a bitch under 19" I like a stronger type that can take a knock or two in the field and most importantly retrieve to hand, not stand over
  5. Remember ferreting a few years ago on the shoot, had my whippets and my mate scotty brought his young springer dog along. We were ferreting a wood with small warrens all over. A ferret was on a kill, Scotty sat the spaniel down and we moved onto the next warren 20 yards away. 5-10 minutes later the spaniel appeared carrying a rabbit in a pursenet. Bloody good spaniel he was, he wouldn't chase the rabbits and worked well with the whippets and Scotty's lurchers.
  6. Don't know what your on about Richie?
  7. Cheapest I've found so far is £152.50 for a box and collar and £70 for each additional collar. It needs to be new so we can get a vat receipt.
  8. Wheres the best place to buy a mk3m box and 4 collars? Just looked on debens website and you need a mortgage to buy at there prices.
  9. Great Video Trev really enjoyed watching that. The bitch knows her job mate doesn't she, cracking bitch

    A friend of mine supplied and fitted me a professional system as i'd already tried one from maplin and the dvr kept eating hard drives. I can't fault it, the camera's are almost hd quality far better footage than you see from some on crime watch etc. Before he installed them I had gypsies knocking on my door for scrap almost daily but not had one single person knock on my for door for scrap since he installed them. ​ Wasn't a cheap setup, but like everything in life you get what you pay for.
  11. Get some red colour feed for them mate, you can buy ready mixed eggfood with it in or just buy the chlorophyll red to pop in the birds water and eggfood.
  12. Just moulting mate, they moult every year about this time. Feed him some eggfood with a few garden peas every other day while he's moulting. I just defrost a few frozen peas, there cheap as chips and the canaries love them
  13. I don't know about everyone else but had dogs over 30 years and taking a pup lamping twice I wouldn't know if it was going to make a lamper or not. You need to show them plenty on the lamp for them to learn and keeping one two bloody weeks just goes to show what an actual knob he really is. I wouldn't let the twat keep goldfish
  14. See you altered the topic now lol. Can't see the point of even posting the video, it's shite
  15. Need to go to specsavers lol. Not even a whippet

    Too costly to carry on treatment? surely that leaves them open to prosecution under the animal welfare act they helped bring in? "failing to provide vet care !" F*ckin muppets one rule for them and one rule for us. Have you got the dogs back yet mate?
  17. Avoid maplin ones at all costs, there shite and as are most on the internet. I got a mate to source and fit mine, The dvr has a 3 year warranty and I can set it to email me a picture if anyone is around. The camera's are spot on at night too. Wasn't cheap but buy cheap and buy twice. https://cctvdirect.co.uk/products/view/16 https://cctvdirect.co.uk/products/view/1
  18. petplan don't care as long as you are not making money with them. Though I wouldnt say my dog was chasing a rabbit when he broke his leg as you never know and there's no reason to mention it Petplan wanted £29 per month per dog!! for mine so gave them a miss. Daylight robbery
  19. I have my whippets insured for accidents only but don't mention you intend working the dog otherwise insurance is void. It only pays out a maximum of a grand per dog and is just over a fiver a dog per month. Its with healthy pets
  20. I used to work in a gunshop and once a stock is cracked/ broken there worthless tbh, yes you can get them repaired but there never the same again and do you really want to risk your safety for the sake of a few quid.
  21. Maggie could run mate in her prime
  22. The bitch was bred by Paul Sagar and belongs to a good friend. Seen her run from 18 months old and I'd have her in my kennel. Very quick too for a pure saluki. The whippet I bred and I'm happy with him, always gives his all can't ask for anything else from a dog..
