its been pixx poor around my area for 7 yrs at least

the mixi just travells up one valley then down the other and just goes on and on and on

if by any chance we see a few not long before the farmers put it back down

one of the reasons ive bought a bigger dog

50 odd years ive been working dogs, done bit of everything, now its just Rabbits for us, and in all that time, ive never yet failed to run my dogs on healthy rabbits, and if ever the day comes when they are wiped off the face of this earth, which it wont, i will be long gone, 68 years of age tomorrow, and still love this way of life

drove down a road new mine today an down the strip of grass next to the road maybe 100m long i saw at least 35-40 rabbits. cant get at them though being so close to a main road. this is obviosuly the reason theres so many because everywhere else the rabbits are heavily culled by both gun and dog where they can be shot/ran with the dog.

what happened to your whippet bud ?

 

The little blue bitch, bred by me, retrieving bunny out the fields, jumped into a country lane hardly ever used, and was hit by a taxi, she was in a reet mess, carried her home, got her to the vets but died

sorry to hear mate R•I•P Kate

Go for it an get yourself another Whippet pup.. ..they don't take much space up an you obviously care about about your dog's with the added bonus of having somewhere to run them..

 

Thanks, and yes, another whippet from working stock will do me fine, thanks all for your comments

Now i know it aint the working season, but ive covered 2 counties on my permissions today, weighing the situation up, cos as some of you may have read, i lost one of my whippets a few weeks back, and im thinking of replacing her, so the object of my foray today was to see if the bunny population warranted a replacement, cos ive had my share of mixy in these parts, but i have been pleasantly suprised , loads of em all over the place, im that happy with today, that ive been walking around with a semi, so yes im on the lookout for a companion to join this happy household

All the best with your choice.
