some lines seem to breed true, bitches 19 dogs 20, I was told my pup would make 19 and he was spot on.

lot of debate on whippet size, some say the big ones don't run like a true whippet. chap told me a whippet should be small, fast, agile etc, depends what ground you work, quarry you want, mines 19tts and only 23 pound, but I have no interest in fox or deer.

had a few stitching jobs with her mate proved expensive but she's very committed and I want that in a dog.

I take it you are having a spaniel then

trev70 told me you want a mix of working, racing, coursing lines, I like these pennymeadow whippets, does what it says on the tin

I'll fetch me dad!!

done a few rubble piles on airfields in Lincolnshire, they are hard places but got to agree railway embankments are the worst

does he know

nice shooting , have you turned all respectable?, I hope not we might all end up with a good name

I think all dogs are different temperaments, not down to a certain breeding, my two, the beddywhippet doesn't like it if you raise your voice, were as the whippet thinks get f****d, one can take a bollocking the other can't, it's down to the individual dog.

year's ago 70s maybe whippet x bull was popular around here, they always used Stafford Bull blood, which seemed to be a smaller leaner dog than today's Stafford, made cracking little lurchers.

not a prayer my friend, you had to travel light, going under hedges, over fences, traditional net in jacket and pegs far less conspicuous, no bulky stuff like today.

my comment wasn't aimed at you, just a point of view, even my own father used to see us lads going lamping and would say you may as well knock on every farmers fxxking door and tell them where you are.

the old poachers would be mortified at the thought of a lamp

you sure about that tomo? according to public opinion we are all dossers who have never had a job
