here is some of me and my mates dogs what do you think
mattyg replied to Billy c's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
yes, the broken coated brindle is my type of dog....not everyones cuppa i know! but i like em! -
sorry for hijacking the thread, but, ive seen allsorts of whippets big and small, what lines would i be looking for if i wanted my whippet to be on the bigger side? say around 22 or even possibly 23" if at all possible...i know i could go for a whippxgrey but just wondereing about whippets.... cheers, matt
-
yes lads i agree, the removal is a last resort, he will be given every chance to get used to it.....in normal life he isnt affected, but as we all know working dogs take a bit more punishment, especially on the feet and toes. hopfully he will adjust and i will stop being paranoid about having a 3 legged lurcher...lol cheers for replies fellas, matt
-
the reason i ask the question is, he knocked his a toe a while back and it seems to have set slightly wrong, the vet also said he may just get used to running with slightly wonky toe.....the main thing is i have time on my side due to it being the end of the season, so got all summer to see how he goes! oh, and intelligence isnt somthing this particular dog is blessed with! cheers, matt
-
its the inside toe on front left foot mate. he not a coursing dog, just a mooching dog really and a bit of lamping, but i can see what you mean with the turning, this was 1 of my concerns, but the vet says he should be ok....the vet i use also attends the local greyound track and services a few racing kennels in my area, cheers for the reply!
-
just wondering if any of you helpful lot have ever had a lurcher that has had to have a toe removed? there s a small possibility 1 of mine might have to have an inside front toe removed and was wondering how much this will affect perfomance, my vet says he should be fine if i choose to go ahead with the op, any advice would be great. cheers, matt

will see if i can sort a few pics shinyspade!

that dog of simononiels is a cracking dog....100% no nonsence grafter with a great nose! SHINYSPADE, one of my dogs is realated to your dog ozzy...same mom i think put to a 1/2 cross weaten! cheers, matt
-
i have a dog bred the same way, he is 5 now and has and still is a good little dog, he made 23" and threw plenty of whippet suprisingly! cheers, matt
-
mite pop round the park at the back of your place with me air rifle...need a bit of ferret food.....me poxy dogs cant catch anything, so looks like its pigeon on the menu! .....just kidding mate, didnt know you still kept the bloody things! and as for matching ur dogs with that lad, bit late for chasing things things with long ears now aint it? do you know him? matt
-
its always nice when a dog suprises, ive had it myself from my "ferreting" dog. although his retrieving leaves a lot to be desired as he only a lightly built fella, but he will gaurd a shot fox, just incase it runs off...
-
got a beddy/whipp x grey, he a handy little fella and dont mind getting stuck in! i think if you get the right beddy in the 1st cross they are tops for most stuff, except maybe long ears on a regular basis!
-
ello RC, gimme a shout, and i will dust off my pikeing gear and go for a mooch about!

my wheatenx bitch had her pups on time
mattyg replied to spiderpig's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
cracking litter mate! suppose they all spoken for? cheers, matt -
i have a beddy/whipp x grey and he a handy lad, he is 5 now, 23" and around 42lbs, smooth coated as he took on plenty of whippet but he has more than proved himself a loyal and pretty useful fella! there should be plenty of interest in the litter. good luck witht he breeding!

no woman is stupid or blind enought to marry me, but the stag doos ive been on will remain property of the past! what happens in prague stays in prague, same goes for amsterdam.....i can hear the divorce lawyer from here.....lol enjoy your day and dont worry too much, but if you have mates like mine run for the hills!!!!!
