Crusty12 4 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 alright guys im new to the site an hope to get some useful info from use. me and the brother usually do a good bit of ferreting, but just recently we have bought a 9 month old whippet bitch. what i want to know is how would i start to get this wee pup hunting and whats the best way to go about it. ive walked her over the mountan near by and shes very alert but uses her nose more than her sight. cheers marc Quote Link to post
