Some dug that wee whippet. Excellent pics.
-
I'm in the same boat. Sent him £65 7 weeks ago and heard nothing since the day I placed the order when he emailed me saying there was a 4-6 week wait. As other lads have said it's just nice to be kept in the loop.

yeh but you can get caught up in the intelligence thing, I have in the past with choosing lurchers. all lurchers don't matter what they x with , will learn lamping if took out enough its practice practice Aye True. They will all pick up point and slip. But sometimes we need that bit more? Thinking outside the box. Come at the rabbit from an angle, keep them off the hedge etc. Only so much can be learnt. There needs to be a bit of hunting brain in there to start with. And I assure you they haven't all got it.

For Stud Bronson Collie Whippet First Cross

He asked have you had any big bags ...... Depends where in the country he is. 20 rabbits in some places is harder going than 50 in others. -
10 month old. Sounds a dream. lol.
-
Earlier you said the little ferrets get there heads kicked in. Now they are capable of killing and being dug to. Make your mind up.

Bedlington Whippet On Preloved..

As said. A good rabbit dug will earn you that in a couple of nights given the chance. Plus cover your diesel. Just because you don't want a good rabbit dog it doesn't mean someone else doesn't and 300 sheets is nothing. I've spent more on a night out. -
I'm much the same I like to net up then give it 5-10 mins to just settle then send the team in And you do this on every set?

A nice racey bull cross?I don't have anything against bull breeds but I just can't take to them and I have no need to add bull blood for what I do. Honest enough reply. Good luck with whatever route you go down.

A nice racey bull cross?
-
I think they do know the difference and learn to read situations. My dugs know the difference between a quick walk alongst canal paths where they walk to heel and a proper mooch out where they go off and hunt about. When we go ferreting they know to mark and stay near the sets but when out on a big walk without ferrets they don't bother with rabbit sets.
-
Maybe there was greyhound way back? Like in lots of 22-23" coursing or non-ped whips. Who cares? Let's see a pic of the dug.
-
Get a pic up pal. I like the bull-whips. Wouldn't mind one this year to work with my bigger lurcher.
-
Can't see a bloody thing.
-
I understood what he meant to mean,like i understand the lad with a lurcher thats 3 years old now that killed pre-ban fox,s,its not rocket science to be a tad more savvy,or is it?. Who needs antis and hunt sabs when your own men are out to get you?
-
Do tell more...im breeding one lurcher to another to produce a type that i think will suit me Any pics of these lurchers Chid? Are they collie types or bull types? Heavy set or racey? Currently just got a whippety thing. 23" whippety lurcher. Rabbit dug. Thought about getting a bull/collie type lurcher to lurcher dug to compliment her when out ratching about.
-
Grand. All the best for 2015
-
What a generous farmer. Lol. Nice pics. You rate them beddy types? Would they tackle teeth preban?
-
Do tell more...
-
Just putting the feelers out. Not got anything in mind. Not desperate for another dug but if the right litter comes along. Who knows. Lurcher to lurcher always been the mutt of choice for me.
-
Who's got litters planned for 2015 then? What's on the cards?
-
Not disputing it is still young at 16 months and the dug might piss about from time to time. This isn't the odd deaf ear though. The dug ran off. It jumped a fence and ran away from the owner when called back. I also disagree that "lack of bond" is over used. I think it's under used. So many don't care to form a bond with a working dug. It's just a tool what does a job and goes back in the kennel. Forming the bond works both ways. Dug knows what you expect and you know what makes the dug tick. At 16 months it shouldn't be running off.
-
There's pushing the ground rules at 8-10 months and there's running away at 16 months. Big difference in my opinion. Not an attack on the wee laddy. I'm just saying look at the bond and the basics. Why does the breed of dug matter?
-
I be asking myself why a 16 month old dug doesn't know the ground rules? We ain't talking about basic recall here. The dug jumped a fence and ran off from you. Do you have any bond at all with the pooch?
