devonlad 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just I would post about the new bitch I collected off Mike Brown last week, what a nice guy he is... genuine and knowledgeable about his dogs and their capabilities. I picked up "Spring Two" (piccy of her at 8mnth's on his website) from him and had the tour of his impeccable kennels. I was well impressed, Mike kindly went over the ped's from his bitch and my dog and said they should produce something outstanding, should I decide to have a litter. Spring is a great retriever, and learns very quickly and has already picked up rabbits to hand with Mike. Going to start her working with the nets this season and she should pick up some tips from my other whippet dog. Will post some pic's as and when.. Anyone wanting a genuine, no nonsense working whippet would do well to talk to Mike before they part with their cash !! IMO. Quote Link to post

How tall is she at the shoulder? http://www.webstoreuk.com/springtwo.html All the best, Frank. Edited September 4, 2007 by Frank Quote Link to post

If shes half as good at picking up, bringing back,gettin into brambles after any game, as my dog is off Mike Brown she'll do just fine.Good luck with her. Quote Link to post

devonlad 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 He's doing fine up to now, and a great retriever, not a mark on the catch, even when they sit tight in the hedge and he has to pull the little buggers out. Quote Link to post
Guest Frank Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Great stuff Devonlad. My wee whippet bitch is retreiving like a lab at present, and even when i have finished with her, she keeps bringing me things and nudging me with her presents. You got to love them, their characters. Frank. Quote Link to post
