  1. I prefer Dogo cross Italian greyhound myself Sounds a serious type that, those italian greyhounds take some holding back!
  2. All cracking pics, but those roe bucks look particularly good
  3. Nice . .177 or.22 mate?
  4. Cracking pics and land/area. What's in that bitch besides saluki mate?
  5. Sully, is your pup a 1st x, or just collie/grey? 14" AT 10 weeks is a fair size. Should easily make 26" plus. Very nice pup by the way
  6. Best post so far. And I'm with you 100% on the 'they learn nothing in a kennel' bollox. Anyone with half an inkling about dogs, and educating them, will ensure that as pups they are reared, socialised, and educated as to the countryside etc, and not kept locked in a kennel for 12 hours a day, and without trying them too young. It is a nice pup by the way, but I'm still wondering how it caught those rabbits, unless it practically tripped over them. He looks a proper big gangly pup, and too immature to have even half decent speed or coordination to catch healthy rabbits. Anyway, nice pup
  7. Coomassie only 44lb when she won the waterloo cup in 1877, and I think 44 1/2 lb when she won it the year later 1888. And just having a look now at some waterloo cup results, Penelope II only 41 lb! 1886 runner up. Master M'grath only 54 lb. Seems like it's only relativly recently that you get these huge dogs of -90 lb.
  8. Was asking about this cross a couple of years ago. Be interesting to hear what some members say about this lol. Good luck with your search
  9. Is that in morocco?posh end of Byker mate Really? Looks like somewhere in morocco I saw on you tube, about sloughis lol
  10. Yeah, they're that bad there's whippet in both the parents to his pups lol Yeh but he says only 1/64 whippet in the sire and 1/128 in the dam. Lol He's good at maths as well?! F**k me! Lol
  11. Yeah, they're that bad there's whippet in both the parents to his pups lol
  12. Smart dogs mate. They from same litter, or same sire?
  13. Lol, no you've got a couple of good, valid points there
  14. Definitely, and a lot less aggro from many 'blinkered' lurcher enthusiasts. Don't get me wrong, I know that in many cases lurchers would be a more suitable type. But there are plenty of occasions where a whippet does the same job, but does it quicker, with more excitement and style, and in many cases with more enthusiasm. I love the little feckers lol
  15. With the popularity of whippets and more people working them these days, I think it would be worthwhile having a section just for whippets. I think there'd be a lot less negative comments then when people put up posts/pics etc about their dogs working.
  16. Cracking pics of that red. I know this'll probably sound a bit silly, but to me red squirrels look more squirrely than those pudgy faced greys lol. I think it's because reds have a sharper, leaner face/head. Anyway, nice pics fellas
  17. Not that I'm an expert on beddy x's NL, but he looks longer coupled than most beddy x's I've seen, and his coat looks cracking. Looks like he can shift too, I do like him
  18. I've had a fair few whippets over the years, only two not being kc reg. The smallest I've had, a bitch, was 20 1/2", not kc reg. Other bitches 21" and 21 1/2" tts, kc reg. The dogs I've had were all 21-22 1/2" tts, all kc reg. And they were about before mick brown was breeding his SS line of dogs. A mate of mine also had a kc reg dog of 23" tts around 20 years ago too, so they aint that rare. Tall, big, or tall and big whippets have been around for many many years. And AshR1 dog looks a typical cracking whippet to me
  19. Looks a cracking whippet, bottom pic's a belter
  20. Hi Jetro, I cant say too much as he hasn't been behind much quarry, i'm going to test him this year that's for sure. All I can do really is compare him to my 24tts saluki X, although he is fast, in an open long distance sprint with my saluki x she is faster BUT when getting up to speed, short bursts, jinking runs, weaving through woods, turning ect he sh*ts all over her to be honest lol, He got his first rab on the lamp at 7 months and I only took him out just for a couple of runs to see what he makes of a rabbit, to be honest I wasn't expecting him to be as keen as he was but he went like a s
