new 12 week old whippet pup

[redtailhawk1 84]

Just bought a whippet pup. It's a little cracker, can't wait to get it going when old enough.

 

Would like to hear about your working whippets and the way they perform.

 

Had lurchers in the past but not for years now.

i run a few whippets, what breeding is he?

[redtailhawk1 84]

To be honest not sure lol. Supposed to be ped. Father is large breed whippet. Did not come with papers but just got him for a bit of fun. Gone use him with ferrets and take him on the lamp with rifle.

better off not being a ped sometimes, not that it makes a huge difference, sounds like he aint kc registered , make no difference without a bit of paper , good luck

Dad is possibly Laguna strain.

Thanks. I agree, not really interested in pedigree. As long as he can run. Not too bothered in big numbers either. I shoot plenty net net loads to. Going to let him take the ones that don't present a safe shot with the rifle (which is quite a lot) also get the od runners.

Here he is. Kids have called him Jasper. They were going to call him Casper, but when I was lamping him someone would think I was ghost hunting lol

Supposed to be straight whippet, but you never really know. Can only accept what you have been told unless bred from ped dogs yourself. Pic does not do him justice and looks more like whippet.

Good luck with him mate. I've got. 10 1/2 month whippet. Cracking little dogs and mines just getting keen for it. Hopefully next season will be the making of her. I'm the same as you, wasn't after a world beater, just a ferreting companion and she's shaping up nicely. Keep us posted

Will do mate and good luck with yours. As long as the dog enjoys it as much as us it will work harder. I just enjoy getting out, all the fun of the chase
