  1. Shes thrown to the Whippet mostly, and Ive seen stuff off Sooty sam breeding go well.
  2. Shes 3/4 Whippet 1/4 Bull mate, but she can run too
  3. Its a bitch, and her head isnt normally that big
  4. There are some good whippets about that do not scare easy.
  5. Why dont you and your mate start your own thread instead of leeching on mine.
  6. Yes its for sale mate, and thanks
  7. All dogs become a lot better when they are dead.
  8. I dont know what it was called. It was made of wood,and poorly finished with varnish drips on it, which I dont like so I gave it away. I wouldnt buy another off him obviously.
  9. Yes mate, no problem. Txt me if you still got number or I'll send it again.
  10. I had a Catty off this bloke. Had to wait a bit but I got it ok plus some advice on phone. Ive just been watching him on FB... Chrst!!! can he shoot with that Catapult.
  11. 3/4" terrier collar and chain lead. Full grain best leather nearly 5mm thick.
  12. There are some good class ex racing whip/Greyounds at Stud up north if anyone wants to breed a litter for themselves. I know nothing of the old Bowline dogs myself, but you cannot resurrect a line even if there was a line in the first place. Most dog dealers like Hancock for instance only ever create a cross. They dont test and so can never improve, even if they wanted to.
  13. Sentiment and breeding dont go together.
  14. Exactly just sell, gift or put down, they are the surplus. In an ideal world you might keep the lot like Greyhound breeders do until you can see more of them as saplings, but failing that the ordinary bloke just breeds to improve on the parents and makes his choice. The ones that go elsewhere are out of his hands and gone.
  15. I think you should concern yourself more about the ones you keep, because they are your selection. The stuff that goes out the door is that which you didnt think worth keeping. If you have to question prospective buyers then you dont know them, and will probably be lied to anyway.
  16. Keep a sharp mind! or at least sharper than it would be. Save loads of £££ and spend it on guns and dogs?
  17. Twinings breakfast tea.
  18. I think you are thinking of Douglas Todd, an old kc Whippet man who didnt approve of Whippets coursing Hares. Ted Walsh was one of the founder members of the Whippet coursing club.
  19. Ive seen KC Whippets coursing under rules and although a few slips are no goers with the Hare just beating them there was some fantastic coursing. It was manly in the Cotswolds with high stone walls in places, but that didnt stop the Hare or the Whippets, which were sometimes no bigger than the Hare. The Stamina of these Whippets was very good aswell. I imagine the Whip/Greys to be lethal on Hares!
  20. couldnt agree more. Worry about quality first and cost next. Always seems to be enough money for guns, fashionable hunting boots and beer etc but want a lurcher for next to nothing.
