Shortstraw

Ended up buying some green gkz 6.2. Need to check what size my ammo is, think it’s about 8mm steel which is weird as I’ve never ordered 8mm, think I’ve only ever ordered 9.5mm and 6mm. I think I cut them about 18-13mm.

I’m same, suffer with fibromyalgia. Where do you buy from these days? Was looking for Celtic catty, but no sign of the website.

Not been on here much last 2-3 years after my springer x lurcher passed. She got a pellet or something in her lung when we were out and died due to a collapsed lung at the vets. It impacted me quite badly to point of not even walking for more than 30 minutes in the woods when out with my other old little lurcher….(for the last 2 plus years). Anyway, my catapult is helping me get back out in the woods for longer periods which is a great thing. I’ve even thought about getting another mooching dog in next year or two. So I’m back on here to ask which bands you are shooting/recommend. I’m on

That was my one concern before I got her, I need a dog that’s easy to live with....so I took a gamble and yes she was very easy to live with....but like your mates when out she covered a lot of ground compared to other breeds and lurchers I’ve owned. It affected me badly when she died with what looked to be a pellet hole in her chest...she was only eight....my other bed/whip x collie/grey/whip is now twelve. It sounds daft, but as good as she was I’m better off probably without the running component due to the amount of hassle it brings me these days.....a small springer would suit

They’ll make great dogs. My springer x lurcher was the most skilful natural hunting dog I’ve owned, great natured, easily trained and very intelligent.

Whippet I had was a hard little dog, he didn’t work brambles, but he would fly into them if he spotted one. He was a smaller stocky type. One thing I will say his skin was good looking back, only ever got one skin tear when he was a pup on his chest....which was a miracle looking back. My little old lurcher has got skin like tissue, she only had to catch a branch and that was it. Other good thing about whippets I’ve found they shut off nicely in the house. I used to go out with two old blokes when I was a kid, they had a tiny blue whippet which they rescued from side of a motorway....they name

I think £700-750ish. I’ve never paid much for dogs in past, that’s a big jump for me, however he did say he’ll talk about price when I asked .....that’s if I do go for one.

My current bitch Is bed/whippet x collie/grey/whippet, she’s 19 inch and to be fair she hasn’t been much of a working dog.....too nervous.... she’s twelve now. My springer x lurcher was amazing but her life got cut short at 8. I said I wasn’t going to get another lurcher, but I can’t help but get tempted. I did consider a jack Russell x springer, cocker x bedlington whippet and recently saw a working lab x whippet. I also been considering a whippet ( was my first dog 36 year since ago). All would do what I want I guess, but a little bed x whip does take my fancy. You finding much differe

How have you found the beddy x whippet first cross? Just curious, I haven’t fully decided what dog I’m getting next. I just mooch about these days, I’m not really too bothered these days if the dogs don’t catch, I just love to watch them hunt up and have the odd chase...and in my case these days it’s usually squirrels and pheasants.

Thanks all. Seems a genuine litter....I just heard a few say in past no brindle in first cross.

Just a quick question. If whippet is black bitch and bedlington sire......is it possible to have some brindle rough pups in litter....the rest been grey rough coats. I always thought they were grey rough/ broken 1st cross...., or is it possible if the bedlington has other terrier in its breeding? The dam is definitely a whippet. Just wondered as I was looking at a litter, looked a nice whippet and bedlington....but didn’t expect brindle in litter.

Rosie....... springer x lurcher....about 21 inch.....she knew her craft well and was a pleasure to watch...many lovely memories.

Love small lurchers.........anyone got any pics of small whippet type lurchers they’ve worked and details of breeding. Thanks.

Nice that. I was lucky and found a freebie pouch in an order from catty shack. It’s sort of like faux leather/ like what some pouches are made of. Looks well made and should last ages.
