I find it useful in a hide, or when Im waiting by a flight pond, it might also help keep a less steady dog calm, when on "sit" they can be like a coiled spring but "down" takes them off alert mode, like a sort of stand at ease. Totally agree mate, especally with spaniels

The first one is a cracker mate, shutter speed just right to give you the impression of movement

I took this back in May at the yorkshire gamefair. I went up in the Helicopter to get a few aerial photo's of the gamefair. Even though i'm scared of heights. All i can say is thank god for image stabilised lenses!!!

Thanks for your time in putting the post up Lamps. Hope it helps to find a good home for the dog. alb Mally

As other have said your doing very well with her mate. What i do when i'm training young dogs is restrict the training to 2-3 short sessions throughout the day 3x10 minutes sessions is better than 1x30 minute session and always end the training sessions on a high. Take things easy never rush training as it has a habit of jumping up and biting you on the arse if you do. Teach one command, get it right and move onto the next. She looks a cracker mate, all the best with her

Totally agree £150 is FA for a first x pup. You know exactly what your going to get. Unlike a lurcher to lurcher x which sometimes it can be a lottery, your never certain what the pups going to turn out like

Bloody hell 11 Pups, Good luck with them Fordie. I'm sure you won't have any problems finding good homes for them. I really like the bedlington x's they were all the rage in the late 's early 90's before the bull x's came into fashion. And rightly so i've seen some top class bed x's that handled the larger quarry with ease. My first lurcher was a whippetxbed X bed x Greyhound she wasn't a fantasic daytime dog but she excelled at lamping taking fox single handed (obviously before the ban) along with roe etc. (Tilly my first Lurcher) If i wasn't breeding from my

Your really doing yourself no favours at all or your mate for that matter., I keep whippets and there's no information in the add about the sire or dam to this dog, who bred it etc etc. Is it even registered???. Why should folks phone for basic information that is usually placed in an bonifide advert. I'm not going to get drawn into a slanging match as thats not my style. All i can say is take everyones advice and get a proper add up for this odg with the relevent infomation and a photo. You'll stand more of a chance of someone being interested in the dog. But to be honest you've probally

I was asked by a farmer to have a go at the rabbits as he's sick of seeing them around the farm yard, so i decided to go and have a look for half an hour and get a bit of food for the young stinkers. I managed 8 rabbits and a couple of ferals. There's only 7 rabbits in the photo one had mixy so i left it for the foxes. It's been a while since i've been out with this gun, i had a pellet left in the magazine when i finished, i only missed one rabbit and that believe it or not was the easiest shot of the night!!

I pity you moderators on here, just lately you need to be on here 24/7 with all the shit and arguing on some of the threads. You can tell by the spelling and grammer there either teenage halfwits or just out to cause trouble. Bin them i say. many a good thread has been ruined by idiots, like the saluki thread. that thread was interesting until the 2nd page then the halfwits appeared from under there rocks, it's such a shame when folk make an effort to start interesting posts for them to be highjacked and ruined. ATB Mally I hope the dog gets the home it deserves mate

I've decided to enter the comp with my whippet bitch Vixen, Doubt she'll have the stamina though according to many on here LDR CP's picking my cash up on Tuesday mate

No Mate I bred the dog, it's the fawn bitches brother..

A few Pics from today i'll upload the rest onto my site later. My whippet is the Fawn (Vixen) Thought i'd add this one too. One of Ben Potters Vultures
-
I know Shepp and he wouldn't want to cause any trouble or any suffering to any animal. I've just agreed to put him on the list for one of Vixens pups. Something i don't do lightly as i'm very particular who my pups go to

I certainly wouldn't use no7's on Pheasants as you have a good chance of just wounding the birds. I tend to use 6's for pheasants early season and 5's later on in the season or if i'm shooting high birds. 7's are ok for partridge and woodcock/snipe. I've been using 61/2's recently on pigeons with very good results. Rabbits i use 5's or 6's

At least we've seen it, he hasn't for feckin years fat tw*t

No probs Mally thanks for the rabbits was running a bit short with the little stinkers P.S lovely Whippit you have there I have got just 1 albino hob and jill left if any bodys intrested. I'm looking forward to having a couple of days out ferreting with your pup and my whippet. I don't think much will get past the pair of them. There's plenty of rabbits on my permission at the minute for us to have a go at, I just hope it's the same when the crops are cut. That book you lent me on longnetting is very good mate i think i'll have a copy off you. I've been using longnets for y

Well thats great news, It's an awful shame it's taken so long for you to be reunited. 5 years of looking at every dog thats simular to her and wondering is a very long time indeed. It just goes to show how important it is to microchip your dogs, mine are all done and registered with both my phone numbers and my parents just incase.

I refuse to go to any of the events organised by this company after being ripped off at the market rasen one last year. They charged a fortune for you to get in and there's feck all there. We'd walked around in 10 minutes and the lurcher show was very poorly attended. The same company was also responsible for ripping off the folk who did the displays in the main arena at selby one year too... Bad craic that

Pop a saucer in or one of the plant pot bottoms with some washed stones it to keep it weighted down. Keep the water bottle on and as soon as you see it drinking remove the saucer. Better still put in another ferret the kit will soon learn to use the drinker

Yep, she'll be provided with all of the above, thanks mally . Another quick question is that i've been told that a whippet will tire out much much quicker than other dogs whilst retrieving, that true? It depends how big your whippet is mate, my Vixen is 20" and 30lb she retrieves live to hand and it does tire her, especally the long retrieves. However a beddy x whippet would also suffer the same. I get double figures on a regular basis all retreived live to hand.

All this bollocks about thin skin really makes me laugh, I have whippets because they suite the ground i hunt on and the quarry i persue. Yes you notice cuts more on a whippet because of there short coat. I was recently down at Banbury at a mates for the weekend i took Vixen my fawn whippet, she hunted the storm bushes for at least 2 hours (something we don't get where i live) and there wasn't a scratch on her although there were plenty of thorns. It wasn't as if she wasn't working either she caught a few. We went lamping too with barbed wire etc and she never got a scratch. Probably just me b
