    how big as she made? she doesn't look a big bitch, talking to a experienced whippet chap recently and he preferred the smaller traditional sized whippet for mooching, rabbits etc, said overall sharpness was better. 

    Not sure Fred,  possibly 18/19"

    Can't say I've had a problem with this bitch catching fleas but in summer mites are a problem from the greys. She gets a wash n towel dry before she comes in house

    Years ago I used to keep Spanish game and a hen pheasant used to come to the yard and feed , she was mated by any stag that was out on his tether. She then disappeared.  Later that summer the dog put up some poults in a local wood that just looked different if you know what I mean, I often wonder if they were Spanish x pheasant.

    She a belter mate, is she pedigree?, funny this one of mine ain't bothered about deer thank feck. I Don't use her for anything else but squirrel.  She's run a couple of rabbit and caught one , never seen a hare or fox. I'm too old for all that type of hunting now. I enjoy a quiet stroll int woods chasing the grey menace.

    She's far from perfect mate but I've learned to live with her. Her nose is second to none and she retrieves every thing I shoot with the catty. Everything has to be killed again before she retrieves it and she's part crocodile so it tends to be in a state. Things should change as she matures but I'm not to bothered tbh. What's your whippet like ?.

    Enjoyed watching that Fred, as Jack said the old lad does it differently. Will his way of netting work..yes without a doubt but its a lot of faffing around to be super efficient. I really used to enjoy our nights netting up int dales with old smithie but life sent me a curved ball and I needed a long time out of everything to recuperate.

    Went out yesterday with catty shot my first woody really nice shot. But on going to collect it in some cover behind my allotment. A bloody black feral cat picked it up and ran off with it behind this thick cover. At first a could hear the woody flapping about. Then all of a sudden a could hear the flapping but moving at speed. Lol. A looked up the gap behind the cover and seen the black cat with the woody. Cheeky b*****d pinched my kill. A was looking forward to cooking that for my tea with some garlic and abit of wine. Maybe have an hour after work hopefully get a few kills. 

    Nothing worse mate, had it happen a few times, last one was someone's spaniel with a rabbit I shot on a paddock,  the fecker came out of nowhere,  picked up the rabbit and hightailed it back in wood.  What catty ya shooting  ?.
