Its a good vid well done rew we had a good crack that day and my toes were fecking frozen lol, unfortunatley as you know the whippet never made the grade of dog i needed and after a season with him he went back to his previous owner. Cheers

Cheers guys.

 

Hi nottzhunter how you doing? At least you gave him a good chance. If you had him from a pup , he would have been a better dog . I mean I know he would have been a better dog.

Good job lads. You did well to give the whippet a go for a season, seems like he had no pace and strike.

He was the first whippet ive ever owned, and what you say is right he also had the turning of a bus, at first i thought he maybe a bit of a slow starter but after sevral months had passed there was no change so a pet home was the best option for him

Heres a new "Peddling for the pot" documentary, it was filmed all in one day march this year. Branbo was trialling a whippet after his lurcher boke its leg. Hope you like it.

Nice strong dog that struggled in unfavourable conditions,I would be wary of running such a quick animal in woods like where the first bunny ran, sooner or later a collision is likely and the dog usually comes second..

I've found that long hedges invariably induce the rabbits to bolt along and go down again," hole hopping" we call it getting more and more resistant to bolting as they then know what awaits them on top.

 

A stop net that bisects the hedge prevents them from travelling along the hedge often forcing them out into the open field and gives a chance for the dog and some sport for its owner.That's if you can get a net throught the hedge !

 

Of course you need a handler and dog on both sides for this to be effective ,otherwise the bunnies will assuredly choose to run out the side you are not! Best of luck for the season.
