I would probably choose the 100 rabbit catching dog. The 6 in 6 hare dog would definatley be somthing special but the stamina of a dog needed to catch 100 bunnys in 1 night! Mind you I have seen hares run and not caught so to catch 6 out of 6 would be amazing. JPT

What about giving it to someone as a pet? JPT

I actually got £40 back off the bloke who sold me my pup as I travelled 200 miles to get her. He said put it into the car for peterol! Top bloke or what? JPT MY DOGS ARE PRICELESS!!!!

Ok here is a question for everyone who owns a dog. Can you put a price on your 4 legged friend? I ask because I was laughed at the other day for paying £200 for a lurcher pup. Now I don't think that is that much for a well bred, fed and healthy young dog out of good honest working parents but this chump I was talking with dissagreed. He said I was being ripped off but when you think about how much hard work that goes into keeping a litter of pups then it is not that bad is it? What would you pay for a pup bred by worker to worker? Cheers, JPT

I have shot many a phez with ye olde .22 air rifle. As long as you shoot them in the nugget then they die instantly. In fact I would say that this method is more humane when done propper than a shotie is as the big bore can easily wound and the bird can do one with a gut full o lead. DOH! JPT

I saw some beagles the other week up in the lakes but they had terrier ears not the big floppy ones. Pure bred or what? JPT
-
Where are you? The pups should be good. JPT

Looks racy mate, plenty of whippet Id say. Should make a good rabbiting dog. JPT
-
I think most lurchers would and do in alot of cases benafit from whippet blood in them. Add a dash of terrier for coat and feet and a bit of greyhound for height and you are away. If you want some more up top then what else would you add? collie? SALUKI? Poodle? JPT
-
Every whippet I have ever come across has had velvet like coat and skin which is in my opinion a huge down side for a working dog. It means every time you go out you are more likley to be attending to cuts and rashes than you would with a lurcher with thicker skin and more coat. If none of that bothers you then I can see why people would have whippets because there is nothing like watching one run! I dont think I have ever seen anything take off as fast as a racing whippet............ JPT

Beddy x is it? Looks a good one for shaw. JPT

Nice dog that you have there. I like the white markings on the snout! JPT
-
Yes the dam of this dog probably threw back to bigger dogs even though she is only 22 inches, the dog turned out very racy and with a big strong head Sounds like a smart runner Any pics of the dog? JPT
-
Anyway what I am trying to say is that whippet in a dog can add that bit extra in a dog for rabbits and hares and some will go on to bigger stuff but it not always gives you the small size Maybe not if crossed with a lurcher with other breeds in its make up but a first cross is usually small is it not? JPT
-
There skin is very thin and they have crap coats. My uncles whippet gets a red rash underneath when running through long grass! Its fast as feck like but a bit of a whimp! JPT
-
I would say a whippet adds acceleration and size to the lurcher. Ideal for ferreting and bushing when crossed with somthing with a decent coat. All the whippets I have seen have been off there heads so I guess they add the madness you need for hunting! JPT

he breeds some pups does mike brown! JPT
