Ran them all my life just don’t expect a world beater at 12mths old,take ya time with them and they come great.

My brother had a platts bred dog that didn't catch anything until it was over 2 and he'd run stuff but wouldn't strike ,he had his first catch on Harrington aerodrome,a munty was feeding out in the open and he got up to it and we thought here we go again he's going to just think it's a game silly cnut but fcuk he lifted it by it's back leg and started to retrieve it screaming like fcuk and we herd him yelp and he dropped it and it was running again but he lifted in couple of yards and finished it, after that first catch he came into his own and put plenty away but was never a rabbit dog .

He's 11 now and lives at my mother's getting spoilt,

Slightly off topic, but the Americans have a breed, the “Silken Windhound”

Basically a borzoi / whippet , line bred to get a whippet sized borzoi.

Bonny looking things, but more for show than work.

Cheers.

A greyhound/whippet be a better animal to put over her, But just thought i’d ask cause i know of 2 pretty well proven whippets one’s got some collie in it about 23 tts
