  1. Looking for a pure whippet for stud in North Wales. Thanks.
  2. the reason i havent been on for a while is just this. i think i prefer to go out hunting than read this crap. i cover a lot of land in north wales but can't find any pockets that still have lots of rabbits - i do hunt the land quite a lot (lamping at night and hawks, terriers and ferrets in the day - when not in work!) its just that rabbits seem to have disappeared more than ever and not finding many with mixi anyway going to highlands for a mth in december on a mates land where there are still plenty of rabbits thanks anyway

  10. really gutted for you - R.I.P Bonnie

  15. went out last night with hunter1 and his whippet dog fly (in picture). perfect conditions and a few rabbits about. we'd caught 9 rabbits and fly was ahead by 2. moved fields and was fly's slip - he had a crackin course on a rabbit with the rabbit getting away by turning back and jumping over him - fly came back to Hunter1 and then it was ned's slip. we noticed fly was hanging back on the lead - the bag was heavy enough so we called it a day. when we got back to the car fly collapsed - we took him to vets and he passed away a few hours later. the vet reckons he'd either taken a bang t
  16. ( i've a wippet who cut its stopper on tin sheeting - i left it for a couple of mths (using padding etc) it looked like it had healed fine but first run it split open again - havent run it since last season but everytime i'm out this season i'll tape it up cos its only a thin layer of skin - hope you have better luck with it
