the right pup

[martindevon 0]

right then, im pretty new to this site and ive made a few posts but im really after some help.

im after a pup but cant get one until mid may coz im away with the raf, i want some help with what x will suit me most.

im gonna lamp with it and some daytime work. im moving to the hebrides so the land is gonna be flattish moorland.

the type of X dont really matter to me just the wife is dead set againt me havin a bull X as she thinks it will eat the kids or something so i would prefer whippet X grey sort of size, and what sex is best or does it not really matter, you lot are are the experts so please your input would be very much appreciated.

If I was you I definitely wouldn't get a Whip/Grey: your'e far up north there: its bloody cold and you'd be better off with something with a decent coat, a biggish stride and feet as tough as old boots: I reckon a Whip/Grey would shred/damage its feet in no time at all on rough moorland. How about Beardie/Grey or if you want something bigger then add a bit of Deer/Grey? You need brains for it to learn to cope with the terrain: good feet and coat too.

cheers lads just got told by some one on here there was loads of rabbits up there and no foxes, glad there are foxes though good sport.

all depends on the quarry mate, rabbits and long ears ect only needs a handy bitch something like a collie grey, but the bigger game if your not gtting a bull x i'd suggest agame wheaton greyhound
