took you a while to revive this one

Lol it was just something stiffy said on here yesterday, asking if D G was still around, so I googled 'is Darren Gallagher still breeding whippets?'

And this thread came up on 'The Hunting Life.'

So had a read of it earlier lol

I don't know if he still breeds whippets, I know glover has a half brother to my bitch and a dog that's bred same as mine, can't fault the breeding but that's down to the chap at pennymeadow

He used to run a little show out in the fens...he lives out there...I stood it once or twice with my stall...I remember him telling me he went over to the whippets...cos of all the grief with the coursing dogs and the law...think he was doing pest control as well and when ever the cops tured up...they left him alone because he had the whippets

From his FB page he's, as he always was, into a bit of everything. A roofer by trade, he does his herbal remedies under the name of the fenland forager. Sells samphire and other edibles etc. Lives an interesting life by the looks of it.

He probably will still keep a whippet or two, and I know he still has those Alunte things.

I think whippets will always remain pretty popular.

Good choice I come in to running dogs with whippets not mine mind you they belong to a cousins foster parents they were country folk and loved there hunting great memories I used to stay with them all the time because I was a little shit but loved being out with there dogs great fun to watch. I’ve said I’ll not have another runner after my last ones times up my misses said she’ll have another beddy whippet I told her I’d rather a straight whippet just in case the night’s perfect for running the beam it’d be a pet first an foremost but just the bonus of getting a few runs in great little dogs

it's certainly opened my eyes at what they can do, biggest surprise is how good a nose they have, beddywhippets have a great nose, but this whippet is on a par with them.

Come on, blacky, tell us what you said about whippets the other day, I can't find it!!

something about having a head like a biro pen!!

And if you believe that, you've probably seen the same SHITE whippets that Gooey has!!

It was a happy ending whippet story furg the bitch did have a head like a biro and was frail so bloke sold it 2 a pet home but she sickended her non hunting new owner by killing everything in sight nearly every time he took her out

I went a walk with him.and when the terrier bolted 1 it was the skinny fecker that snapped it up in front of my proper hunting dogs i was pissed off
