this little bitch was 22" and coursing dog cross whippet I bred these in about 73 off a dog from maltby in Yorkshire called A1 she was a whippet in every respect lightening fast but she could drop down a gear and kill hares like her mother on large or small fields, and I used to lamp some paddocks by the road when she was an old bitch, she would nip out and come back with the rabbit and jump straight back in the car, I would of had a pup from her but she never came in season all her life.

I was talking on your own steam..not with a mate etc... no nets. not picked up from easy picking where terriers and spaniels catch em.
I meant to say. . . . Bolted to the dogs with no nets etc, on bankings and hillsides with steep inclines and tricky running spots on the unforgiving terrain of the Dales etc. None of that easy shit.
Anyone can score a good bag on the easy flat open fields up there, once the dogs get tuned in.. . . But the big steep bankings and scree slopes are tough going.
I don't keep rabbiting dogs, but a dog of any kind will get tuned in any where it is worked regular if its any good.

Totally agree,a mutt that as the opportunity to catch a vast amount of bunnys amidst a vast amount of bunny,s is a second rate mutt to a mutt that catches less but better,i know you will understand what im getting at.I kept company with some fecking dross jukels that mullered vast amounts of rabbits in the dales,early 80,s,lurchers that i would not feed accounted for a thousand plus rabbits in a season,in an area that these mutts would have had to use their nose,run harder,twist and turn better etc.etc. they would have been found out and thats a fact.As my griping example of a mutt and owner i detested with a vengeance,another story,the spud dog owned by Hosker caught many,many thousands of rabbits in the Dales at that time,the dog was a turd.The bitch i owned at the time i set my standards at what i wish from a runner,she caught over 300 daytime hares in a season for a few seasons,she worked with the ferrets,no nets,and accounted for vast amounts of bunny,s,the majority she worked up and pushed to ground,she was useless on fox,retrieved many a grouse,live to hand,of the local moors,mullered daytime pheasant and was an Einstein lamping bitch,she caught 15 rabbits the first time i took her lamping,and started to run the beam after about 7 runs,again in the dales.Id tell you about her highest figures on bunny,s and hares,pheasant and grouse and you and a few others would question my honesty.Would she have been as useful on ground where she would have had to graft harder and longer for a less rewarding bag,she spent the majority of her hunting cycle on such land.The dales made a few reputations,dogs and men,mostly unjustified.As you rightly pointed out far better dogs caught far,far less than the majority of the jukels running the Dales,geez though ive witnessed mutts up there that would have put any lurcher to shame,nort,south,east or west.
gary hosker that's a name from the dark and distant, I never met the man, but I gifted him a coursing pup through a mutual friend, and never got so much as a thank you.

we used to go ferreting above grassington and bedale both places always produced 100 plus and we had a 150 from bedale but to be fair with a lurcher or two you would of doubled that my spaniels was catching one after another on the days they went, we used to bolt from walls on some sheep land at Sheffield and my coursing bitch used to catch up to 20 most times great days but easy rabbits spoil you for the little mouch round home.

not trying to pick faults, but with all the talk of using proven dogs as studs of late, how old and how experienced is wippy.

If you breed an get a world beater then go back to the two that had the dog don't breed from it that way you stand a better chance of getting another an even then there is no guarantee you will get another
I used to think that but its standing still, and short term, and repeat mateing's don't all ways come off.

I have thought about it but done nothing and know nothing perhaps someone can explain about it

your right there bill great dogs usually start well and get better year on year, and if that's a male he worth his weight in gold, but you need both parties to be the same, in an ideal world, I have a spaniel here with nine seasons of 2/3 days a week under his belt, and I want him back in my line but the bitch I want to use him on is only a year old, so I know I will miss that boat unless another quality bitch comes forward, just to add this dog works like a dog half his age he don't just turn up and he will go again this season.
