  1. Have a look on the irish coursing club website, all the dates are listed..
  2. My whippet pup loves feather and takes the lot quite regular.. they wont let me bring her on the local shoot.........
  3. well if a x suits then use it fair play to ya..
  4. Is your dog in the lamping comp ??. I am sure a pure whippet will never be the winner of a lamping comp with lurchers of greyhound breeding but maybe in a comp with dogs of similar size and weight.. if your dog is suited to the work you give it then fairplay to ya.. thats what counts................
  5. yep and i know what your going to say [yes i will still use the same excuse if i do get caught ,that is why i got it because of the law change ]but the pur whipp would not be up to what this x can do ,night after night ,take my word for it ,that makes the point of is a whipp as good as a x ,not in my eyes. thats a riddle,, 'what'? night after night..........? pm me your reply if it is too severe for these boards, and is your dog a 20 inch whippet beddy..
  6. 20 inch coursing whippet cross beddie, is this the size of your dog and if so what do you do with your 20 inch cross that is above the law.. I cant see it being a competent hare courser or a 100% fox killer so that just leaves rabbits..? and er rats........
  7. Why aren't we all running 30" Deerhound X's or 18" Beddy X's ? The answer must be we all have different needs in a dog; run different types of quarry, etc. Cheers. i agree ,but most use a x rather than a pure breed ,so it must be that the x makes a better dog what ever your chosen quarry ,i run a 20 inch coursing whip x beddy ,and it does every thing i ask of it ,but i know that a pure whip would not be able to do the same , it might attempt to but it would not last long , 'it might attempt to but it would not last long' ya reckon.
  8. at the moment maplin have car jump starters for 19.99 that contain a 12 volt 17 amp battery, just take the battery out out of the said contraption. used in conjunction with a 6 amp charger you will have hours of nocturnal fun..
  9. Its not fun is it. ran 4 and only managed 1.. dog was blathered.
  10. Nice pups Caspa, don't you just love Saluki pups! Nice pup, where did you get him..
  11. Looks a great litter shadow, its hard enough dealing with the messers that say they want a pup let alone the people that troll these boards causuing argument for arguments sake.. keep your head up mate as i am sure you will find genuine people for your pups.. have you got any more pics..
  12. They are great little dogs as you know. If the bunnys are there they will do them.. we will have to sort a trip out.. It's not just the trip out mate, that's what i'm saying. It's the long haul! I'm sure the whip's would nail everything I bolted no probs. Probably before the collie grey's had blinked! But sooner or later, that yelp is going to come when your back is turned, and that sickening feeling where you don't want to turnaround. A trip out would show just what i and yourself know, they are superb dogs on the right ground, but how would a season up in the wind. rain, snow, rocks, rus
  13. My black dog posing for a picture, we had done a few weeks of road work up to 6 miles per session and plenty of galloping on grass to get this condition.. after this amount of work he comes out of slips like a bullet..
  14. They are great little dogs as you know. If the bunnys are there they will do them.. we will have to sort a trip out..
  15. Heres the black dog in race mode on one of the rare occasions a stake is organised for oversized dogs..
  16. She's my breeding mate, from racing and coursing blood.
  17. heres my young pup Jet pictured with a few easy catches she has made, I like to bring her on steady to gain her confidence before the real work begins.. She is 19 inch and 23 pound with a decent strike and is coming on a treat.. She is out of my black dog archie and my white and brindle bitch cleo..
  18. What part of the country you from, im up for it mate..
  19. Never said the dog was a champion those are your words..The dog suits me and thats what counts.. I run on old pit land slag heaps and the like, he excells over ploughing doesnt feel the cold like some. sleeps in the kitchen with my other dogs..stands around waiting for bolters the whole package. cant compare him though with a lurcher because he aint one.. when i wanted a whippet lurcher i got this dog.. he was no better than the black dog..
  20. no he aint. not a bad trophy hunter either Very nice dog; good to see a dog working AND winning shows !!!! I won one of those chamber pots aswell !! LOL !! Not my dog, I was just showing it for a mate ! Cheers. Iknow who mate..
