labsnlurchers 39 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I have one, a beddy whippet she is 3 yrs old now, 100% rabbiting bitch and she marks like ive never seen. When we are out ferreting anything she doesnt mark isnt worth putting the ferrets in, She is right 100% of the time. On the lamp she is ballistic, shes not the quickest mind, just uses her head more than most. 20/30 a night no problem for her! This is her with her pups This is her with one of her pups, bryn, who is now with a lad in holyhead. This is the pup we kept, ozzie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
labsnlurchers 39 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thought id share a bit of a story about her first rabbit she ever had too. Well i think it was her 2nd or 3rd time out on the lamp, she'd had a few runs but not caught anything as yet. We took her into a field about 8/10 acres, woodland on two sides, road on the third and river on the fourth. Lamped the field and spotted a rabbit in the middle of the field, sent her up the beam and off they went! As i said before, she's not the quickest dog so the course she provides is very entertaining, she relies on her turning ability to catch so theres alot of turns before she strikes and she will not strike unless she knows she can catch. Well this rabbit was getting closer and closer to the fence, the fence was sheep fencing, you know the one with the squares in it. Any way the rabbit got through the fence and gyp struck just as the rabbit got the other side of the fence. We thought she had missed it so turned the lamp off and then we heard her growling and the fence creaking! Got too her and she had caught the bunnie by its tail and was holding it in her front teeth! trying desperately to pull it back through the hole in the fence! that was when she was 12 months old and she hasnt looked back since! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
