He'd have got through if it wasn't for his spikes , luckily he stopped thrashing about when I stretched the wire to free him .,fcuk they can plough through some thick brambles,they tough little fcukers that's for sure ,
-
Same round my way ,no rabbits but tons of deer The terrier pushed a munty buck out some brambles this morning, the stupid thing tried to run through a sheep fence and got it's head stuck because it's antlers ,I could have knocked it on the head but tied the terrier to a tree and got it free to run for another day ,gyp looked at me in disgust

Its a shame you don't see so many now, Deerhound grey x Collie greyhound be ideal type
-
If you search Phil Lloyds old posts you might find the one he writes about putting a Deerhound to a whippet and how they turned out
-
Phil Lloyd wrote about his Deerhound x whippet ,I believe he used a dog called blue Peter and from what he wrote the pups turned out crackers

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 .

Well done -
I no someone who got a Italian greyhound pup ,it broke its front legs jumping of the settee,vet told her it happened because peddlers breeding to make them tiny so they weeker .,I'm sure the original ones would have been similar to a whippet
-
I'm in no way saying your dog isn't a pure whippet ,what I'm trying to say is most whippets used as rag dogs etc back in the day had some very game staff bull added and that still probably shows in some lines of whippets today, remember a lot of pure bred types have had other things added generations back but still got a KC
-
Its nothing new, I remember a highly respected dog man writing about putting a whippet to a Deerhound Years ago .
-
some breeders definitely put Stafford blood into whippets ,they plenty of muscled up whippets about ,some lines are bigger stronger types than others and it probably comes from having bull blood down the line.
-
i remember you posting about the malamute lurcher, hopefully this dog will do ok bud ,my old boss as two Dutch herders that he uses for security work , Hope he turns out good for you
-
Nice , didn't you have similar x before?
-
Soon settle down mate,you got hands full with two pups .
-
Looking good mate
-
The next dog I buy in will be a whippet pup,they easy to live with and punch well above their weight.
-
Most whippets will take to lamping,ferreting and even take roe,and smash into fox ,not saying they out and out fox dogs but I've had one that loathed stinky gingers .
-
Nice , you'll have some fun
-
He's a nice type and I hope you both have a good season, What type of collar is that ?
-
Looking good mate always enjoy your posts ,you should pen a book .
-
What dogs you going to be running this coming season?
-
I was given a 18 mt old sal x greyhound whippet that came from good working line and he put plenty away in 9 years I had him but he also came with few problems he would never have had if I'd got him from a pup , just because a dog good worker isn't everything,they need to be able to fit into your family and have manners around other dogs etc etc Id be very wary about buying young adult dogs doing the job ,why's it for sale if it's so fcuking good ?
-
Well done few catches will boost her confidence. I remember my bitch when she was just a pup and starting out on the lamp,it's a good feeling when the pup catches .
-
I feel like a immigrant in my own country,I think a lot of people would get out if they could afford it .
-
most houses have electric,some have wells for water , none of that bothers me as I live on a yard "plot of land "i run a geny and panels for power so I'd do same if we moved,I'd love to have a small holding in UK but just couldn't afford it but I could in Bulgaria , it'd be hard work but worth it and I'd still have my plot on the fens to come back and visit family.
