  1. Has anyone had experience of working both the whippet and the bedlington whippet cross. I have read much in books saying that the bedlington dosn't bring much to improve on the whippet for working rabbits, but i would like to hear from you guys as to what you think. What would be your opinion on which would provide the best hunt up and catch dog worked in small fields and wooded area. And also do there temperments differ much.

  2. Rambo 3/4 grey 1/8 Wheaton 1/8 bull hes 25" tts at 7 1/2 months will he make much more?Rambo032-1.jpgRambo001.jpg

    I've started jogging with him now as well for about 2mile a day to tighten up his feet and get him a bit fitter to start after christmas,he gets 30mins off the lead too, should this be enough to do him?

  3. Had two lurchers from hancock. A half cross beardie/border greyhound around 15 years ago and a half cross border collie greyhound off him around 6 years ago. Both have been very good dogs to me, but in all fairness their probably just average working lurchers. I will say this though, as genuine as the dogs are i wasn't impressed with the state of the place where i bought them from. One of the dogs roaming about looked absolutely flea ridden and the pup i took home stank to bloody hell. I won't be fuelling his business anymore. I also think its good for pups to have some contact with kids etc and not just stuck in a shed until sold.

  4. Two JRT and a first cross collie greyhound. Dogs work their butts off in the day bushing but only catch the odd one or two a season!!!! Spend most of their time after squirrels. Rabbits very thin on the ground around here, things start to look rosey then the dreaded myx hits again. Oh well, keeps me and the dogs keen. Used to work two border collies a whippet and a jack russell together, never caught huge amounts but to watch them work together hunting up was utter bliss.

  5. First reduce the size of the photos on your computer, highlight the pic, right click, then click on resize, click on new topic, as you have done, then scroll down, click on browse, look for the photo file then open, find the small photo, click open, then load and click attach this file, follow on screen instruction, good luck.

     

     

    Thanks shall give it a whirl.

  6. Hi all, new to the forum, thought i would ask what has been your favourite breed of lurcher or other for hunting up rabbit?

     

    Although not a lurcher the best dog i have owned for hunting up was a little rescued border collie bitch, she took to hunting rabbit up instantly and was a plesure to watch. I currently work a half cross border collie greyhound who is a good worker but not as good at hunting up as the beardie/border greyhound i owned who past away at he good old age of 15.
