**sorry for the double post**
I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

I’ve been given a 13 week old lurcher pup by a friend who is too unwell to keep her.
Father is Wheaton, Bull X Deerhound and mother is Saluki X Bull. I’ve seen photos of the parents and seen them work however I’m a terrier man at heart who’s always toyed with the idea of owning my own lurcher. When this opportunity arose I thought sod it and took her on, ordered a heap of books which haven’t yet arrived. 
my questions are quite silly but could someone with a good amount of knowledge just explain to me what I’d be expecting with that sort of breeding, the work she’d best suit and what’s the best way to bring her on. She’s a bony thing and very tall for her age, I’ve tried to do some research but it’s been quite inconsistent. 
she’s currently spending her days playing in the grass yard, lots of socialising with the ither dogs and getting familiar with her name - but I’m one who wants to do everything properly hence why I’ve tried this page to get some answers.
sorry for the long winded message but I hope someone can reach out and give some pointers. 
 
cheers 

Hi to all, so I've never owned a whippet before and have encountered an irritating habit that got worse in the last month of ferreting and was wondering if anyone out there has had success minimising noise during ferreting?
So he runs prey silently, almost never barks at home so I was very happy going into his first winter, but.... when the ferret slot machine is not paying out fast enough for his liking he yips at the holes he senses are near the underground action. On top of that, if he runs a bolted rabbit to ground again he persistently barks at the hole while constantly looking at me as if to say "get them ferrets over here mate, I've got one for you"
I've a very experienced collie lurcher who is a dream to ferret with but the whippet seems to make no reference to the good stuff he does. Any ideas on managing this?

Evening all,
I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
 
What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
 
Go stead,
oshea
