I’m pretty sure I read some were that dogs do actually see in colour vision but the shades are not the same as human vision
-
There be plenty of world beaters for sale shortly not long now till the end of the season ????
-
No I don’t think so I’ve never had a problem with the dog being disoriented by the lamp I’m guessing it’s because rabbits colour vision is made up of blues an greens an low lighting vision with nearly 360 vision bar directly in front of it that’s were the disorientation comes in shaking the lamp to confuse it were a dogs vision is black an whites with vision direction in front of it ??

Any more than 3 shakes it’s time to get out the tissue?
-
Why has it got to be in chesterfield an not any we’re in the whole uk the right dog is not always on your door step an you have to travel
-
Lovely bedlington whippet dan ??
-
I’m guilty of the lamping birds??? that little twinkle out in the field in par shooted rape crop your adamant it’s a rabbit squatting tight you get reasonably close but not to close because you want to see a good run you slip the dog just as the dog goes in for the strike booom (snipe) in to the air leaving the dog like what just happened ?? Who’s not guilty of it any twinkle it becomes a rabbit

Smart looking dog pall bet he’ll motor ??
-
He got nob rot as well has he ??

Shake! It’s meant to disorientate them. I didn’t used to bother but noticed all the rabbits round here know exactly where there heading with no second chances offered for a dog but with a little shake just before they hit cover it confuses them enough to make them make mistakes hitting cover then bounce back out in to the open give a dog a opportunity for a catch

That’s all I do mate numbers are down sneak about take what I can ??
-
We’re all be at that stage someday mate it’s the inevitable. Sounds perfect tho mate ??I’ve already jacked on the numbers of ferrets I keep my old line I had going for a number of years i give them away to lads that do abit due to the decline only keeping one hob I resigned one of my big ferreting permissions but retained lamping on there?? The hob I’ve got only comes out a couple of hand fulls a time per season just to bring pups on

Or bring size right down with overdose of whippet blood with what Beddy xs I’ve already got
-
I rather the bigger cousin to this cross at the minute for what I’m in to (bedlington greyhound xs) but can honestly say I’ve said I’d never own another f1 beddy whippet but when I slow down in the lurcher game when my time is done and spent if I can get another bedlington whippet well bred id happily put my feet up with one if it’s just mooching about
-
My old little pot banger fred your right about never a dull walk she used to go from 17tts f1 bedlington x to a 32in deerhound greyhound when out an on with the big dogs funny little thing she was sadly missed rip
-
Why not? if it’s being crossed with say a whippet or a spaniel or beagle etc surly it’s only terrier to terrier you wouldn’t want digging blood given the small size an being able to drop to ground if you didn’t want that risk surly for the bushing/mooching you’d want fearless blooded dogs that wouldn’t be fannys an beat around the bush if something was in cover that offered some heat you’d want dogs with bottle to get in there and get stuck in an see it head on unless your plan is bolting it for running dogs that would be my opinion any way right or wrong I don’t know

I think maybe a few of us have been left a little confused by the post an what direction its gone with this section being the lurcher an running dog section (yes I know it’s technically a lurcher) most people That have sighthound x terrier want it for being used as a running dog That runs for a living not just bushing/rating dog normally I think maybe this post is in the wrong section it’d probably been better in the bushing dog section it would of been positive as people my self including thought this cross was a poor choice as a conventional worker for the more common roll of what a Lurchers
-
the lie is that there good When there not there talked up by crazy fools only interested in breeding them to sell an the fact you can’t go wrong with whippet x terrier that’s the lie that many have been fooled by my self including ??
-
Never bred whippets or whippet Lurchers but used to work actively coursing whippet s when it was legal when younger we used to take these dogs ferreting lamping they were bang on the money if it was there they would catch it. I’ve also worked bedlington whippets over the years our last team consisted of 3 bedlington f1 an a straight whippet my last bedlington whippet wasn’t that good tbh crap on the lamp slow as f**k one gear wonders but she tried but a handy ferreting bitch an busher not much use for any thing else I had a 26tts collie x that could do all these little dogs could do an more wi

I was told the same lie years ago you can’t go wrong with a terrier x whippet
-
That’s not my point I was getting at fella my point is what’s the point in putting pups on the ground out of a bitch that by next year would of only completed one season work ? by one season you can’t honestly know if a dogs really got what it takes to be a useful seasoned worker when it’s still learning it’s trade.shelters are full of dogs were people have sentimental bred dogs it’s a pointless exercise Mate. what will this cross offer that a work bred whippet hasn’t already got in hand ? unless there only being bred for money ?? Your dog up to you what you do with it at the end of the day
-
So she’s 1yr old then ??Tbh what is the point in putting pups on the ground out of a young bitch that will be producing a none conventional cross ??
-
Probably already have the pube platt of peace mate that’s why they not been going at each other they called a trues ??
