    1. Whippets can't kill a fox. 2. Whippets are no good for lamping. 3. Whippets are fragile. 4. Whippets have poor stamina. 5. Whippets are no good for hares. 6. Whippets can't take knocks. All of the above is true, as I've also read it on here

    Yeah got lots of pics but not a clue how to put em up . Total spaz when it comes to all this modern technology caper . Got to try a bit harder, as I've promised the guy that I got my pup from, who's a member on here, that I'd send him pics as well, to see how well she's coming on. Sent him some off my phone, but they aren't great. Try to get my son down today to see if he can sort it out. I see you're rather useful with a camera, put me to shame i only learned when i joined this site ,sign up 2 photobucket Will give it a try

    hi [bANNED TEXT] iv just got a wheton grayxbedlingtonx deerhound shes 9 weeks old made up with her i woz told to whatch deerhounds coz they make tall dogs but her mum woz only small and shes the spit of her mum so hopeing she will make about 24tts I wouldn't worry too much about height, seen 30 tts 1st x deer/greys picking rabbits up as good as most other types. Obviously not ideal ferreting dogs, but will do most other jobs no problem. Got a 1 year old pup now sire 1st x collie/grey 25 tts, dam 1st x deer/grey 26.5 tts, and she's outgrown both of them, ending up at a fraction under

    Don't know about 'ultimate' fox dogs, but most of the really good, consistant ones I've seen have been lurcher x lurcher, collie/grey x deer/grey and the very best one was a first x deer/ grey, owned by a good friend of mine in the late 's, a dog called merlin, who also caught pretty much everything he was ran on, with what looked like comparative ease

    Wise words, don't be tempted to rush things. The longer you give em time to mature and come to themselves, the longer you will enjoy working em. Everyone in so much of a rush with dogs these days, which is one of the main reasons for so many potentially good dogs being ruined and passed on, i m o

    I seem to remember someone on this site put some pics up of his collie crosses a while back. Not sure if they were 3/4, but it looked as though they certainly were more than capable of taking any quarry. Think it was undisputed

    I asked to photograph his dogs, as he lives about 15 miles from me . . . i'm a photographer, its what i do . . . . unsure of the kind of chicks you hang around with if a request to photograph your dogs is considered a chat up line?!?! If i'd put "nice dogs, lets meet for a walk and full penetration " . . . then yes i could understand your shock at my brashness. that told him hannah.but i dont know about full penetration i just aint that kind of boy any way i have been in turkey for the last two weeks and with all that food i all ready have a sore arse

    @ above. Same as female athletes. Being so fit and carrying no fat interferes with their oestrus cycle. But also some bitches never come into season, happened to a mate of mine's 3/4 deerxgrey many years ago. We wanted to cover her with a very useful dog I owned at the time, and waited about 4 years for her to break down but she never did.

    Got to agree with that, I can't remember ever seeing a whippet with bad feet. And you'd get more runs in a given amount of time, as they recover quicker after a run than any other type of running dog I've seen. And I wouldn't worry about the fact that they don't have the thickest coat/skin, barbed wire will rip any dog, regardless of the amount of coat it has, if it hits it with enough speed, and have yet to see one not enter cover to make a catch. Also seen lurchers of all types look less than happy in bad wind/rain, not just whippets. I think whippets are great and very underrated

    lol, don't know any mate
  17. shaaark
    good one

    Well it looks like chickens4ever is carrying out some pest control using his dogs, and it looks to me that they're doing a good job. Could ask the same question about salukis in their native land. If they are so good why is it that the pics/videos I see on here have 3, 4, 5 or even more coursing one hare/gazelle?

    well said Tom. ..@ Manitoba. Said it a previous post, whippets are just as tough as most lurchers, whatever the cross, and will crash into some of the thickest cover to catch whatever they are chasing, and certainly don't lack determination. Brilliant little dogs

    Collie/grey x deerhound/grey. Maybe not the best for ferreting, but as all round lamp dogs I think they take some beating

    36 years. Started with walking my old man and his mate's greyhounds which they ran at bedwellty and ystrad mynach. Then had whippets then lurchers ( not at the same time ). Started lamping locally around 1980ish, then as I got older ventured further afield to run my dogs at hares, which were scarce in my area. Now, with age catching up with me etc, lamping is pushed to the back of my mind and am thinking of getting another whippet for daytime work.

    Bedlington crosses were popular around my area years ago and were mostly used for daytime/ferreting. The ones I saw on the lamp were fine as long as they caught, but if they missed they hunted up like f**k! Don't know if it was down to the way they were trained, but it put me off them as lamp dogs.
