Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Lurcher to lurcher, brains, toughness, strike and a bit of speed. Better to lose a rabbit today than have a head banger go toes up on those slopes. This little lass, 22 1/2 inches, has managed to reach 9 years of age despite her appearance: one of the best goal keepers I've had: a matter of putting herself in the right place having got to know the land over the years. She was in her prime in this photo, a bit more battered now! littlish-stunning.jpg She might look delicate, but her brains are just great, and the land I run on is sometimes a lot more dangerous than your quarry. Go for a line of dogs that are doing the biz, rather than pondering over what exact breeds are in the mix. Useful looking bitch that penny. Thanks for the words of wisdom Quote Link to post
skycat 6,174 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 And do get a pup, not someone else's cast off or mistake: you can train a pup to hunt as you want to, and if it's brought up around dogs doing the biz right, it won't feck off as you are the whipper in! Quote Link to post

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 my dog gaz you seen where i run he does a job on there and i run moor land and links 3/4 whippet beddy fast on and bounces well I've been put off the beddy x by my current beddy cross A mate of mine is bringing on a 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy at the moment, only 12 weeks so would be good to see that running when it's matured. I do want a bit of collie blood next time though. your running that beddy x on the wrong ground his to big gaz i can take him off you and give him the work i will wait for the phone call Your right about that. He is better on the bigger land for sure. His problem isn't his size. It's his nose. Obedience when he's on scent is zero. Fecked off for 12 mile the other day Yet take him on the local fields where no scent etc and he is as obedient as a collie. 12 miles! what the feck did he follow the scent of, a routemaster bus!
