  1. Come to think of it. The first pic that I put up, I was on the side of a mountain, as I remember it, I was freezing my balls off. But like I said, if there is game about. Cold doesn't come into it.in fairness I'm sure they feel the cold more than a dog with more meat and coat, but you have to remember. When bred worker x worker all the way.. Does a well bred terrier feel the stick being dished out by the fox or is he more concerned with the job at hand? Honest question...
  2. I bet it wouldn't look so comfy on top of a fell in December or stood on Salisbury plain with a north easterly gale blowing in winter lol ...... lol. They sound like very specific conditions, feel free to add g.p.s coordinates just so I know exactly how to respond. All joking aside. I'm not ever likely to be in that particular surrounding as I live in Ireland but if there is game around, the last thing my whippet is thinking about is cold, and he has been out in all types of weather. For what it's worth though, his parents have earned their keep on the fells. I'm not sure which way the w
  3. ye have him looking well sully.i have to say He's an evil looking f****r for a pup lolI had all the pups named in my head for the likes of keeping track of them while worming and the likes. And that dog was called "the scum bag" lol. For reasons you seen when in the yard. Him and the other pup that went to "MENACE" off this site are definitely the type of dogs that need to be held back against their own wishes so they won't end up souring themselvesI suppose same could be said for the whole litter except the one male I have left. He would be the raciest of the males but a little more placid.

  5. I'm sure these pics have been put up before but for the people who have the image of a shivering, nervous little reck in their mind.....

  7. Thats a smashing looking dog gar. Ide say your on a winner if your pup turns out like that Tom. And by comparing pics of pups its quite possible.
  8. howye relik. Can I ask is your whippet from any particular lines... Racing, coursing, working, non ped?
  9. Thanks wezza. I have seen pics of yours. I think they are very sharp looking animals. Glad to hear they are ticking the boxes for you. Wouldnt mind seeing the pics again myself, but if you could do one better it would be great if you had pics of them as young pups. Be great for myself and Tom to get some sort of comparison. A.t.b
  10. Tom,I've been inclined myself to write them off as just little knock about dogs for rabbits/ foxes and for maybe working along side terriers but I've been corrected a few times by lads Ive spoken to over the last while that had this x over the years and were surprised by what their little dogs could do.time will tell Tom, hope he does all ye need him too
  11. Collie x. He was a picture of an animal and he did have his good points. He had great nose good top end. Well able to take a knock and was just starting out his career as a fox dog which was going well. But rabbit dog he was not
  12. In short for a running dog thats so easy to keep and lives off an extra small scoop of nuts more then a terrier they deliver the goods when it comes to rabbits and a pleasure to watch. I owned a collie x years ago. Brutal for the daytime rabbiting due to his stalking rabbits and a very poor ferreting dog because if you brought him to a place where a rabbit bolted and hit the cover before he caught it, he remembered that piece of cover and would spent most his time watching it, Im talking about even a week after it happened. He didn't have the same take of or turn of foot as my whippet so misse
  13. I have the very same experience with my whippet dog and just to add when brought out ferreting mine and a couple more I've seen, seem to have a sixth sense when working with ferrets or bushing dogs regarding where the next bolter is coming from. Very good noses on them and I think SOMETIMES what people mistake as nervousness is actually a very high sence of awareness. It's like their senses are on high alert most of the time
  14. Sighthound x with any non sighthound working breed = lurcher. Simples... Lol
  15. Was meant to say underestimated
  16. agreed. as I've said before, nowhere in a greyhounds lineage will you find dogs bred for nose, intelligence, trainability or dogs that will take a bit of stick. Granted they do add prey drive, height and speed. But every other good trait is borrowed from the breed they are x with to create a lurcher. I think they are definitely one of the most underrated hunting dogs.
  17. if you search " whippet archives " you will see the s.sam dog 12 times in sires ped, for what it's worth. They have changed the site around a bit, I think it's a bit harder to follow than before so that's probably where your getting mixed up. A.t.b
  18. Thanks tom. My pleasure . He's gone to good working home.i think that little pup of yours will be begging for as much hardship as u could give him. I hope I'm right. Wish ye a.t.b with him. brenner..
  19. Male dog at front of pic is last male left
  20. Good length in back. As racey as you could expect from 1St x, nice deep chest. Feet could be better but look worse in pic then they are. In the flesh they are not as bad as you might expect from 1St x. In short I'm very pleased with what I got and I am v. Pleased with what went to working homes. I think the right people were matched with the right dog.
  21. Bitch I kept back. Called her " divil " and for good reason lol
