I didn't go through old posts I remember from then, you were a dick then, asking for help and then threatening people.

 

As for Crobin you must have gone round there to find out it was a bloke, not me.

Im not the most exspierenced in the huntig world, but my 6month old bull x whippet, well her re call seems to be coming on really well, fair enough when she sees another dog she just wants to play, she's a pup and tbh i dont mind its socialising, but what i do is when i call her, always a nice (exciting tone) and walk away from her never towards, and just keep walking not to far obviously but when she clocks the call and sees me leaving shes right by my side, as she comes in i go down to her level and greet her with loads of praise and a treat or throw a ball so she thinks - coming back = play/praise/fun, if you bollock a dog and its away in the middle of a field imo its guna think ahhh what the fecccck no way im going over there, unlike humans when where bollocked where scared but no we have to face up to it eventually, a dog dosnt want to come into a horrible call and unfriendly welcome like a kick or a slap, keep it happy, bond treats, play with it when it arrives, walk away as you call and dont over do the call, if you do its just boring to the pup, you only want the re-call to be used when you really need it.

 

As i said im not an expert but with the advice i took and time i spent bonding my pups re-call is easily 150% better than my 3 year old whippet, and thats why im going to stick to this method. atb with the pup:) whippets arnt hardy dogs also, not saying you do but a kick slap, hit with the lead never guna make it come back, there stubborn and can turn funny little dogs if they get knocked about

 

Whippets can be very hard headed from what i have seen.

It's not a breed trait, most lurchers if neglected on there training are the same, actually ever breed are, there's been some great advice on here and with time and patients following the advice the dog should come on nicely regardless of breed. IMO whippets are one of the easiest dogs to train

I might personally have not trained one I've owned myself but I've been bringing my brothers on for him last few months and she's been an easy ride and been round enough whippets in my time in different stages of there life to see there easy enough. How's your whippet doing now?
