working whippets

[Guest joball]

Anyone work there whippets hard eg taking descent little numbers say around 20 mark often? Thats a good number for any dog around me and i do that nearly everytime I take mine out. The odd couple rabbits here and there means nothing not does a dog pokeing its head in a whole Means jack.

You say a dog poking his head in a hole means nothing ? well my whippet has taken 20 odds on the lamp BUT id say his work with the ferret and nets puts the dog up a notch than just running down a beam , a dog needs to use more nouse when out with ferrets nets ect , if it doesnt work with the ferret and knows the net it can become a hinderance more than a help so id rate a whippet who works with ferrets ect to a decent standard above 1 who can catch lamping , just my opinion.

Like lanesra says - anyone who says 'a dog poking it's head in a hole means jack' doesnt really grasp the wonders of a ferreting / mooching dog. I don't really lamp mine much, but he can hold his own stamina, speed and spotting wise, although in truth, he can hunt up like a b*****d. However what he excells at is mooching about and finding game, hunting day time and ferreting. Any dog with a decent chunk of sighthound blood, and brought on right, can run a beam and catch rabbits (or it should). But there are plenty of good lamp dogs who couldnt find quarry in a fecking telephone box daytime.

Sorry lads should of worded it better, my whippet marks warrens flat out didnt think it was that big of a deal just one of them things most lurchers, whippets etc do. I do sometimes go ferreting but mainly just to take my lad out, but its Abit boring for me, come on ideation lerensa get some pics up of your workers not your moochers lets see some bags of rabbits.

Dont know how to do pics the ones ive had up in the past have been done by a mate , its horses for courses with a dog mate , if you prefer to lamp and the dog does what suits you then you have all you need , ferreting when plenty is happening is fast and furious but not always like that have to take the rough with the smooth , a good ferreting dog becomes part off a team with yourself the ferrets and nets and when it works well your dog is worth its weight in gold. i love mooching about with the whippet and the terrier never catch many but the hunt itself has us on our toes , the whippet just treats the terrier as a bigger ferret when he is flushing rabbits from cover lol.
