  2. friend has a laguna /nimrodel whippet 19and a half inches i have a small lurcher 20 inches whippet on both sides when she is in her stride there is no contest and its only a half inch the whippet is pedigree but its horses for courses as the lurcher is a more versatile dog and will do a little bit more its not just about running its the whole package however of the mark the whippet is like a rocket and he is a great rabbiting and mooching dog and a great assett even if a bit headstrong.

  14. Bricklayers Accident Report . . . . This poor guy even had the nerve to admit his stupidity! Possibly the funniest story in a long while. This is a bricklayer's accident report, which was printed in the newsletter of the Australian equivalent of the Workers' Compensation board. This is a true story. Had this guy died, he'd have received a Darwin Award for sure....... Dear Sir, I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block 3 of the accident report form.

  18. good luck on the ratting mate i have a border myself and we work rats with a few more borders they can take a while to bring on so dont start the pup off to young 10-12 mths and be patient hope i aint telling you how to suck eggs.
  19. also take into account they can be stubborn and headstrong while hunting up so can take a while getting a young dog back,patience is the key then more patience you wont go far wrong with a whippet good luck mate.
  20. anything laguna/nimrodel will give you speed and stamina you would be looking at 19-20 inches for a dog.
  21. as socks says the worst thing in pups is dehydration they go down nick so quickly try the pup on boiled rice and chicken small portions 5 times a day if need be start feeding by hand but make sure plenty of liquids if it wont drink water tempt with milk to get it going again at the end of the day its a very young pup and a bit of tlc is better than losing the young dog.
  22. cant wack a good days ratting well done gang.
