2 from last season really stick in my mind the first was my lads first trip out, the day started off ratting but after a nightmare start where we had to cut loads of brambles back we only bolted on rat. My lad was getting bored so I suggested getting the ferrets and having an hour on a small bury close by. My lad helped with netting up, putting on the collars and when he caught his first rabbit you could tell he was hooked. He insisted on carrying it back to the truck The second was special for me because it was the last time I went out with a very close friend before he passed away

My little girl opened the door to mine last week. They were gone for 3 days the kids made posters and we put a note in the local shops. Got a load of calls and found em all at the local rspca centre. They said they get loads of ferrets in but they hardly ever get picked up. My littlr girl ( she's 3) was well chuffed to get them home she hardly puts them down and is on me the minute I walk in from work to let the ferrets out. Good luck with finding them mate let as many people as you can know there missing and you might get lucky.

Nice looking pup there mate, good luck for the future you got some fun times ahead.

Don't feed your ferrets raw rabbit, else they turn into blood thirsty wild killers that you never see again if you put em down a hole. ( if you feed em biscuits only they just nicely ask the rabbits to run for the exit). and if you feed your dogs raw chances are they'll kill your kids.

My beddy whip will not enter cover like my jack russel will thats for sure, ( but i don't want her too), my brothers first cross will enter cover more readily but still not like my russel does. I enjoy watching my terrier work, she does yap when pushing rabbits out but I think this is a bonus you know where she is and it gives the other dog a chnce to position herself. She's quiet other than when she's pushing quarry. The added bonus with her is she's a good ratter and good with the ferrets. Downsides are she's really hard mouthed and she will take rabbits off of the other dogs.

if a dog "crashes" a hedge to catch a rabbit it's shit, a good dog waits for the rabbit to come out of the hedge to be caught

Martha 8weeks first rabbit around 6 mnths around 10months old most recent pic she's just turned a year.

My brothers got a 1st x and she's gonna be bigger than my 3/4 whip 1/4 bed bitch, my bitch is quicker and a lot more whippet like she will enter cover but will more often than not wait outside the cover whilst my russel does the hard work. My brothers bitch will enter cover more readily she's around 9 mnths now so still to early to know what she can or can't do but she's looking promising and her parents were worked hard. She's around 20" now and quite heavily built compared to mine who's around 19". Mine has worked well with the ferrets, she's marked well and caught a few bolters. she's done

Good luck with the new pup mate, brothers got a first x, nice bitch only around 8 mnths at the min so aint seen much, she's keen enough though when out with mine should make a decent dog.

I use a russel mate with my lurcher bushing, she's good with the ferrets too, marks, catches hole hoppers she's a good ratter too all in all a good little dog.

Rocky1 has been kind enough and said he would post me a few knifes for next season Nice one rocky, good touch that, Hopefully you be gutting a load more in the future mate and as ideation said you'll definitely get sick of it
-
No idea what that means, but a great quote none the less
-
thanks mate I think I will get him coming out more with me and see if he truly is into it he is a lazy git like may be for the best if he waits for a while Lazy gits and dogs aint normally a good mix mate

Good advice mate
-
Thats good advice Johnny boy68, unless you've truly got the time to give to your dogs it's not fair getting them. I came away from running dogs for quite a while cause I knew i couldn't offer them the time they need, maybe your mate should walk with you for another season every weather good and bad nights/ days if he then feels he can offer a dog the time they need he should get himself one. Hopefully he does stick at it mate I guess your quite young lads and it's good that younger lads are still coming into it

Good luck with the pup mate, bet sept can't come quick enough ATB Kev

whippet x bedlington or greyhound x bedlington
NEWKID replied to fieldsportsman's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
cheers mate, any other info would be great There's been a couple of these threads up recently mate check in the search at the top of the page theres loads of info on em For what it worth I've got a 3/4 1/4 whip beddy, she's only 11 mnths but has come on well good with the ferrets and coming on lanmping works well with my Jack Russel too. My brothers got 1st cross beddy whip much heavier built and more boisterous than mine she's about 8mnths now she came from hard working parents and I'm sure she'll become a good dog if she ever calms down she's fecking mad. If it's for rabbits I woul -
That dogs came on a treat mate, thats a great looking team you got there I've followed this thread as I stated before I'd be interested in breeding my JRT this way in years to come if she continues like she has, I think her drive and nose with extra speed would be a demon with the ferrets and out bushing, she's quite leggy any way so putting her with a whippet could throw some nice pups I'd think seems to have worked for you anyway mate fair play You never know one for the future maybe

3/4 greyXbeddie or 3/4 whipXbeddie....
NEWKID replied to sighthound1811's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I would say the main problem you would have would be finding decent beddy x greys as there definately seem to be more bull x around, I go out with a mate who runs a big bull X, it's a cracking dog and does what you would expect but it's not the sort of dog for me personally. I think now with rabbits/rats being legal quarry there seems to be more whippet x beddys ( supply for demand) around than grey x beddys is there enough decent beddy x greys around to compete with the currently more popular bull X.. As I said I found it difficult to find exactly what I wanted -
Nice one mate, I picked up 2 bits of permission last year down to my dogs being well behaved in front of the farmer/owner. Whilst working on one of the farms( replacing a barn roof) the farmer asked me if i would bring the pup up when she was ready as he would like to see her run, he was impressed with how she was around his cattle and kept saying what a nice dog she was ( I think he was after her really). I would say your dogs have done you proud mate whether thats because they are whippets or not I don't know.

3/4 greyXbeddie or 3/4 whipXbeddie....
NEWKID replied to sighthound1811's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I got a 3/4 whip 1/4 beddy, would have liked greyhound in the mix, but when I was buying her there was none around ( at least none that I could find). She's 11 mnths now and around 19" tts, it's early days but she's broken to the ferrets, started to mark, had a couple of bolters and had a few on the lamp we'll see next season how she goes as she'll be out most weekends with the ferrets and a couple of nights a week on the lamp. I've only got her for rabbits and I'm sure she'll be fine although in hindsight I think another couple of inches would have been handy for the lamping. The works be
