Years of breeding off good tested working lines shapes a good whippet, or any other breed.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. Couldn't pay me enough to enter a show ring lol
Enjoy your dogs doing what they do this winter a b@£@£)&is to some bent judge......
It's an overwintering Peragrine falcon, has a couple of stoops at the hare.
On one of the old Forley tapes there's a male Merlin chasing a Skylark all round a stationary Land Rover, better than some of the course's lol
Don't think so Inan lol Just helping a lad out with the breeding of his pups.
He used the brother to your dog, top class breeding, classic line bred stuff and still three there for almost nothing......
Doormat was full sister to Macs Fred, they were bred Dohchertys "Mushy x Fred H "Bess".
Bess was off Macs old 3/4 saluki dog Sam to Geoff Smiths "Fly"(Merlins Dame)
Seven foot fences and slaughtering foxes and five months old apart, it's complete bollocks that Sir Terrance Clark imported the saluki, he did import one that went into the British gene pool, Negma.
John Burchard started the Tepe Gawra line with a desert dog mated to a Swiss racing champ ( it's a long and very boring story lol ) Gail Goodman imported Durak from this mating and Brain Pether bred a bitch to him.
They were to "angular" for the pretty feathered saluki crowd, so Gallager ended up with one and the other guy got Angie, she was put to BB .
Just an honest mistake by Gary lol l
Lucy was Packers bitch, seen her run for three seasons, tenacious bitch, incredible wind, once she locked on it was curtains. Not everyone's cup o tea but I loved her.
Might catch fifty plus rabbits and skid on a hare,,,,,,,,,,,,,but it wouldn't eat the road atlas in the back of your truck. Lol!!
Only because it was drenched in pie juice lol
Once went on a organised coursing day at March in Cambridge . Ten men and twenty dogs and I was running a 20" whippet bred bitch, Cloe' As I walked onto the land a well known coursing man who was putting the day on says " hey kid! We're not rabbiting today!" lol lol lol
I had the last laugh, 4/5 her fourth was in desperate trouble before going to ground and that was by no means a one off. Covered the ground just fine ;-)
