I have brought my whippet on from 6 weeks old she is now 18 month old we have had some bad times eg a car hit her and a wank** of a dog walkers broader terrier took her front leg muscle away when we was ferreting she is 100 percent now and killing again but I get paranoid that somthing will happen again for you older lads out there dose this feeling ever go

no mate, its a decision we all have to make when we decide to release that slip lead or run loose in the day. misshaps happen if you carnt live with that then maybe working dogs are not for you.

stay of the weed and you will no be paranoid and if your worrying you couldnt of got a worse dog some are fragile

[hillbilly boy 109]

Every time you slip the lead you run the risk of the dog getting injured or worse unfortunately that's part and parcel of working running dogs

Ok thanks everything has been good since that just that little thing in your mind and I would never stop hunting just though I'd ask

[Lamping89 22]

Ok ok nothernlite calm down for a start fragile any dog bite will cause injury to any other dog and let me run u over and see if you have any injuries and there's always one I understand but while your taking the **** out of me your leaving some eles alone sad man

What northernlite is saying is that every time we slip our dogs we know there is a risk.

 

Everytime I slip my bitch I hold my breath when she scrapes a fence or on the golf course when she's close to the bunkers. Etc.

 

However with a whippet you need to hold your breath AND close your eyes

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

And I'm not knocking whippets. I love them. I just think its obvious they are more fragile than most.

Only tip I'd give is to check the area in daylight, just before sunset on nights when your going out. My biggest fear with running my pup at night is a high speed collision with a piece of farm machinery or similar heavy object. When my dogs ready for rabbiting thats one rule I'm sticking to like a religion.

My whippet broke both her back legs as a pup but shes fine and catching now.

 

I hold my breath, close my eyes, cross my fingers and tie my foreskin everytime i slip her.
