Not Impressed!

[jessythewhippet 25]

Went out tonight for a shine with the whippet slipped her at a bunny chased it around the field then she went way across the twisting and turning it, the feild was id say about 20-30 maybe even forty acres as she went near to the far end of the feild the lamp (Clu-lite cb2) wasnt strong enough to pick it up then she started yapping, im thinking she was yapping because she did not fully know where the rabbit was because of the lamp not being able to shine far enough meaning she didnt know when to make her strike.

 

This is only her id say 5 course on the lamp but by far the best and longest.

 

Has this ever happened anybody, there lamp not being able to shine far enough?

 

I have seen her picking up rebbits in the daytime

well for a whippet to take a rabbit out of the beam it must av a bad injury or the rabbits are mustard in your neack of the wood

more nonsense

Sounds more like it was a hare to me. Which as your in ireland is perfectly ok. Rabbits dont twist and turn from one end of the field to the other, they head straight for the nearest bit of cover and dive in. Im also guessing the whippets a youngun? She was yapping out of frustration/ tiredness. You need to get her out on rabbits untill she is older. And i DO mean rabbits not hares. A few easy catches (ferreted to nets) should rebuild her confidence. If your not carefull she will start to yapp all the time on everything.

A 40 acre field is a small country not a field

Would agree with dogmagic mate

No offence mate, but you seem to be a very naive lad, trying to get your experience by talking on here ! Fair enough if you are getting out and having a go, but maybe you should try and hook up with someone who has done a bit and learn from them. As for your dog yapping, it seems to me it was overmatched, to far a slip, possibly a hare, started to young, who knows ?? Also, if you ARE going to run hares.... get a better lamp.

 

Cheers.

Could have been a hare you know because she turned it about 7-8 times she was rightly up on it too but went to far up the field and the shitty lamp i had wouldnt shine far enough
