Is that the dog that does be on Mikeys YouTube videos??

The only thing is where do you find a decent Irish terrier that works, to bred a lurcher, that’s not a dig. Looks a tidy dog in those videos ?

Yes this is the dog in mikeys YouTube vids. And yes I get what your saying 100%, where do you find good a good Irish terrier in the uk? I was tempted to get one to work myself and put it to a whippet but the price of them put me off ?

Goes to show you that some none working terriers can still produce

I didn’t say they were non working, but it’s a big risk. Well not a risk, I could imagine that it would be at the back of your mind thinking about choice of dam/sire. Will cracks appear down the line. 
Seeing the dog work on YouTube, he’s very fast and committed. 

Was no risk to me with him, I watched the dam (whippet X Irish terrier) work plenty times and she is a very good dog, the dams owner also seen my whippet work plenty and asked to use him purely due to the drive and speed, he would kill himself to make a catch and has been known to run off cliff edges on the lamp in pursuit of a rabbit. So I took a pup back hoping to have a bit more coat and thicker skin and a bit more brain... he also turned out a couple inches bigger than my whippet. But for a first X I think you’d still get a good lurcher out of it even if the terrier wasn’t working, it’s not for everyone I know but I’d take the risk if I had the opportunity ??

      **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

      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
