hi all, after seeing some really stunning action shots of lurchers on this site ive decided to delve into the unknown world of the slr. im looking for a) an idiot proof camera. b)some advice on the best lenses to have c) best makes and models and prices. ive done a bit of sniffing round on ebay but thats all at the moment. price is also paramount this side of xmas plus im a tight git the rest of the year! any advice would be great from you higher beings cheers, matt

well i have 1 of each! my beddy/whippx grey and my wheaten/grey x whipp/grey so both 3/4 crosses more or less. both retrieve fox and are good mooching bushing dogs but for shear prey drive id have to go with the wheaten. it all depend on what you want to do with the offspring really! both are also good lampers with plenty of stamina although chasing a hare for 10mins is a bit beyond them both . i would personaly go for a nice 1st cross wheaton or maybe 3/4 cross for that added bit of speed! but by no means underestimate the humble beddy cross. so to sum up there is no real answer so i'll shut

cheers for the info mate, time to launch a major charm offensive! if all goes well and the dog is still around in a few days time i could be taking a short trip down the m40 to see your mate! cheers matt
-
hi mate, just wondering where you are from as im liking that that b&t dog. take it the parants do what thay were intended to do? (game bird preservation). just gonna be really nice to the mrs and see what comes of it lol cheers, matt
-
here's mine! the black dog is beddy/whipp x grey and the sandy is wheten/grey x whippet/grey! both 23" to the shoulder!
-
why put a small dog thats not upto the job 100% through the hassle and pain? i love beddy whippets but fox dogs they aint! rabbits and rats they are lethal on and yes they do have alot of fire! it just makers sense to get a dog with a bit more weight behind it and with a bit more height that will still pick up the bunnies! a 1stx beddy/grey would be just the job i think!
-
ello fella, see yoe have sorted out how to do the pics then! i recognise those dogs! hahahahaha
-
they good calls, ive got 1 and when me hand fails i get the call out!
-
you can have my signed copy of running dog addiction for £500 if u want. hahahahahahahahaha. i'll ask matt.p. if he knows anyone aswell lol. or i'll just pop round when you aint in and see the mrs for payment....lol
-
do you have a number, address or web address for them? i aint far from there but never heard of em cheers matt
-
i have a wheten/greyxwhipp/grey, 22 1/2 tts and plenty racy enough for the bunnies but has one hell of a likeing for the sharp end. but i do agree that a straight whetenx isnt really for the rabbiting man and that the beddy/grey would be ideal for most things!
-
the black dogs dam is beddy/whipp and sire straight greyhound. oh and gilster the wheatens retrieving is coming on very well! he not a massive dog (22") but dosnt mind getting stuck in on a badly shot fox that still has plenty left in the fuel tank
-

-

"dom" beddy/whippxgrey, murphy wheaten x and the terrier "pig" (i didnt name her) its me mates! lol she squeled like a pig for days when he got her . we will mainly be tracking shot and injured foxes by day and by night and chasing those pesky bunnies!
