    Great video, excellent dog for only 18 months old. What lamp do you use?

    Has she had trouble settling in a new home?

    The bitch has learned that if she runs flat out on quarry she might have a serious accident. She's just demonstrating intelligence. Maybe she will forget and get her confidence back, my guess is she won't. If you've ever had a bad car accident it makes you into a very careful driver for ever more. Same principle.

    I am worried about those guys who ticked 'like' for the video of the two dogs mating.

    Do you think the whippet blood has lightened the frame of your bitch? Are its littermates as streamlined?
  7. jukel123
    She looks really streamlined. Any chance of a photo in the daytime?

    I have often read on here how, pre-ban, deer/greys were some of the the best coursing dogs before the arrival of saluki types on the scene. Has anybody any footage of deer/greys behind a hare? I would be interested to view their running style.

    Jigsaw, what do you mean by 'wicked' when you are describing the deerhound dog of Shanehound's?

    What stud are you going to use Malc1?

    The best mooching rabbit dog I've had was a 17 inch whippet bitch from racing lines. She could catch rabbits on a regular basis when they were only 10 or so yards from their burrows. Also the most loyal bitch I ever had. Started to 'shadow ' me on the day I brought her home at 6weeks old. Game as any pitbull and a brilliant house dog. I've got a couple of bigger working type whippets at the moment, I love em to bits, but If I were to get another I'd go for a wee race dog.

    Makes me feel a bit uneasy seeing parents/ training/pushing kids into anything. It can work-Tiger Woods, Andy Murray, the Williams sisters, Tyson Fury. But these hothoused kids never seem their own person, they are always trying to please their parents. Let kids be kids.

    Always thought starlings' plumage is underrated. I can only get sparrows on my feeder . They are supposed to be in rapid decline. Wrong. They are on my feeders.

    PM Skycat mate, to me the pup looks very underweight. Skycat will be able to advise you on the best way to build the pup up.

    Looks like it's out of Gaffer's stud dog.

    Thanks very much for the replies. I'll try everything you've both suggested.

    My six year old Whippet bitch goes off her food every ten days or so. I can hear her guts squelching and all she wants to do is eat grass. I've had a scope done under general anaesthetic and there's nowt wrong with her guts. The vet advised giving her an antacid ( Zantac)when she goes off her food and this seems to do the trick. Has anybody else had a dog with this problem? If so did you find out why this happens? The vet advised to give her complete chicken and rice. She was on raw meat, biscuits and scraps.

    I don't think in all the years I've been interested in lurchers, that anybody has slagged off this cross. The half cross can be very variable, as I know to my cost, but the 1/4 collie cross seems a good bet. Lots of folk will say it's the best cross they've ever had. I had one in the seventies and it was definitely my best dog. Maybe a bit prone to injury? Maybe all that grey blood can make them too keen and fast for their own good?

    My copy and paste gizmo won't work on my PC. Will somebody type: :Cowpers Tame Hares final.pub' into their search engine and then copy and paste the article that comes up. It describes three hares Coper kept way back in the 1700s. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I kept leverets when I was a lot younger. I can't even claim I was rescuing them,I just used to pick them up and raise them as pets. I don't remember them getting wild. But that was maybe because I let them go again quite sharpish when the novelty of gathering fresh food for them every day wore off. There was a famous poet called William Cowper who kept pet hares and gave them the run of his house. Like a lot of lads on here I kept every kind of flying, crawling swimming creature I could get my hands on when I was a kid. It's something the antis don't realise. We ain't just killers, we are

    Checkout 'Shadow of the Hare' on Youtube , narrated by David Attenborough uploaded by Jacob Lee. From 7.40 to 8.10. (I've tried to paste it but my PC won't let me.) For those that can't be arsed to look, it states that does will consort with young bucks so that the bucks can act as lookouts while the doe feeds. If this is the case then it stands to reason the buck will bolt first since he's the more alert.

    This is totally off topic, but did anyone see the programme on BBC about the honey badger? They are capable of selecting, carrying and then propping a branch against the wall of a pen in order to escape. Take the branches away and they will pile up stones. Take away the stones and they will use sods of grass. I don't think chimps would be capable of thinking in such a sophisticated way. If they attack they will go for your balls and hang on-humans, rhinos lions. Amazing creatures. Yes you learn summat new every day. Who knows what goes through a hare's consciousness? They've always been

    I once counted 17 circling, bucking boxing hares in one field about 40 plus years ago. I reckon if a lurcher had been put in amongst them they wouldn't have noticed until a couple or so had been killed. That was on a sporting estate where the hares weren't shot only coursed. The powers that be should realise that coursing equals loads of hares which means healthy hare populations. Years ago you used to get packs of crazed dogs following a bitch in heat---- it was a bit like that.
