    My mums whippet has always been a funny sod, standing some long distance away when out with my dad. I thought it would never do the same with me.......it did. I think it remains some dogs are just not fully right upstairs,,,,,, not always a case of bonding..........this dog can be fine one minute then the next you've no chance of getting it back for some hours......God knows what the trigger is. It's better with females.

    Anybody out there seen any pointer lurchers. I saw one on either dvd " 'rabbitingman 1 or 2" think,,,,,his own dog was collie based called nell, but his mates I think was lurcher/ pointer....

    Nice one.....great bit of wood.

    Don't know about everybody else's vets, but mine generally charges a consultation fee on the first visit of said problem........usually £20 and then there would be the charge of the tablets on top...... Say £8...., total =£28....... So if that's the case your next prescription.....if you need any more for example would be just £8...... Hope that makes sense.

    Try in bushing section...probably some on there use them

    Out of curiosity........ For daytime mooching what would be your preferred gundog breed to use.......springer.....lab.....pointer....setter etc?.....and why?

    Very old fella I know who's been a serious hunter all his life and seen plenty of lurchers work said one of the dogs that stood out to him as a rabbiting dog was a combination of Irish setter and whippet. A lady I see every now and again has two english setters, both young and God knows how many generations away from working stock, but by Christ do they cover some ground hunting.

    I took a gamble with my first cross springer spaniel x lurcher. I can understand why most people would take a wide birth from such first cross litters when they can go out and get a lurcher x lurcher pup which will end up making more a rounded lurcher....something which I could have done. You can guarantee they won't be as quick/turn as sharply or catch as much if they chased the same amount of quarry, however that's not everything to everyone. I just mooch and don't catch much..... I think it's what kept me keen all these years. Anyway I still want a dog that's got a real drive to hun

    Birds collie/greyhound (Bryn)...... Ideal for you. Shame he's had no puppies yet, unless I've missed something.

    Yep that was a bit disappointing. I can see where your coming from.....can be frustrating, I've had one where I had to close my eyes sometimes when he was closing in close to the hedge....luckily never got injured from it. My retired bitch was a bit like that...gob smackingly sharp one minute then almost....not much I can do about that one...and hold back a bit too soon.

    She's a cracking little whippet

    Good ending for once.

    It would be handy for newcomers to know of people who do supply catapults on here. Can't a list get pinned or something

    I'd hate to wait that long for it to turn up....4 weeks max...and that would seem like a life time. Saying that I've seen some catapults out there that I would be prepared to patiently wait for......., but let's face it it only takes minutes for somebody to email you out of curtesy to apologise for the delay......and maybe include a free set of bands.

    Youcanthide...........whats the name of the Bill hays one you like? Looks to have a comfortable handle............it also looks to have better clips than my scout......are the metal and easy to use? Cheers wuyang

    No expert on catapults and have just received my first bottle of Tru oil which I am going to try. However I have oiled my kitchen bar with a couple of different oils both which are very good. The first was Liberon finishing oil, very good oil and you can achieve a very high gloss finish....more mirror like than varnishes I've seen....took a bit of practice but worth it if you like that sort of finish. This time I decided after reading many reviews to use Osmo TopOil 3058....clear. This is made in Germany, but can be bought all over. It's an oil wax combination, the clear one gives a mo

    My first dog was a whippet...by Christ he was a firey thing and a lot more weather resistant than my little sandy lurcher. Be interesting to see how he compares to the little lurcher. How many dogs you got...4?

    In that vid she went at a nice steady pace. But more often than not she goes a lot faster, and if you don't keep a very close eye on her she's in the next county. I'm hoping she'll calm down as she gets older but at the moment I have to concentrate on her the whole time. Always find that's half the the battle with young bushing dogs, the other half been recall which yours seems pretty good at.

    Nice little team and your pup hunts at a nice pace.......not too fast. My favourite type of hunting by far.

    Cheers appreciate it......learning as I go....slowly.

    WHAT WUD YOU CALL BIG NUMBERS , WITH THIS X,,WHEN YOU WAS FULL ON,, I was helping out on a rabbit clearance job, totally different to how i normally work my dogs, i work my dogs for pleasure, big bags especially on the lamp mean nothing to me my and my hunting companions like seeing our dogs have a few runs whether they catch or not is irelavent, we dont bother with big bags of rabbits, like iv,e already said you can only kill stuff once, i,d sooner go out half a dozen times and catch a few, than go out once and clear the place of stuff, when we were on The Big Rabbit Job, we were taking 20

    Just another advice question. When you level your forks does it not matter what angle/ way they slope as long as your band grooves run parallel to them? Hope that makes sense. Or should I just cut the forks straight/ flat horizontal? Thanks

    If you have one try a long narrow round file..that's what I used anyway........didn't do it too bad.
