Coursing Whippets

[rob190364 2,593]

There's a great pic of some coursing whippets on the lurchers and sighthounds facebook page....just wondered if anyone had any vids of whippets coursing? or links to youtube clips? Can't seem to find any on there.

Always wondered how much work these Coursing Whippets would have in a Season, say compared to a Lad who would go Ferreting with his Whippet twice a week.

I do realize they can do both, having had a Whippet which I worked, I just wondered how much work the owners of Club members, would see in a Season.

Nice image there..

 

Watched plenty of ped whippets,.coursing the hares,...super days out, and generally held on fabulous ground,..often far better stocked with hares, than the land that the Greyhound coursing clubs used to run over...The Whippet clubs were always fairly well contained,. and it was always an enjoyable fun day...The best of the whippets ( and as a type,.they varied)...could stick to the tail of a hare, in the manner of a heat seeking missile,.real tight turns,.. and definitely exciting....

 

Never actually pulled many ..but, good craic all the same.

 

My good old pal, the late Ted Walsh,.used to take some cracking photos at these events,...he loved the whippets...

Had few whippet coursing days out,most were family pets as well as coursing dogs.some old dogs running, 6 yr old and older.

Short slips and good coursing and not many killed...great day out

Would of loved to have seen the coursing with whippets love to see either a whippet our a small lurcher behind a hare ans turning tight with the hare and jaws snapping what a exciting sight preban of course Great we dogs whippets prefer the small lurchers all the same

Saw a few Greyhound coursing meets here, The Scottish national was held here,

but no Whips.

Would have loved to have seen them. was told, when the subject of muzzling the greyhounds came up, The Coursing Association would not have it,

Would it have made any difference to the ban, I don't think so.

I found it very clicky, not as easy to get an invite as greyhound coursing.

A few distant royals were there
