    my friends got a collie whippet and it squeals when it gets close andWhen the hare - rabbit turns when we first ran this dog we thought it was hurting so we took it to a few easier spots and we realized it was squealing in frustration when it went for the grab and missed we had to run it in the day to notice this. I am new to this hunting dogs but what I have realized is evryones situation and expectations are different and this is why there is always someone getting slated on here as long as your dogs please the man or women who feeds them is all what matters so asking on here what makes a d

    surely thats down to the dogs capabilities, rather than its heart, dogs cant run forever, but i agree, with the pulling up or losing heart, a dog which dont give 100% when you know it can, is what i call a jacker I'm not sure what you mean in your first sentence; but there are dogs that don't have the capabilities to catch a good hare, but will die trying, these dogs are not "jackers"... then there's dogs that have the capability to catch a hare, and do one day, but the next, they put in a halfhearted run, and give up, even tho' they still had a chance; these dogs, to me are "jackers".

    A "jacker" to me, is a dog when, say, running a hare and it gives up or doesn't try, when there is nothing obviously wrong with it. No "heart", "minerals", "bottle", whatever you want to call it. A dog that gives up on a chase, because it has been run into the ground and has no wind left, or is carrying an injury, isn't a "jacker", the owner is an idiot.... but there are still people who will call a dog a "jacker", when it simply has no more left in the tank !! Cheers.

    Just about ANY dog will catch the odd rabbit on the lamp, but not consistently. All you will do is sicken the dog and make the rabbits lamp shy ! If it's the only dog you have, OK, have a go, but don't expect much more than some mad running about the field. Cheers.

    When I saw "Fabled Stories", by Whin; I thought it was the new book he has been promising to write !! LOL !! Cheers.

    Country Music was a Whippet/Greyhound, running about 30 years ago; so there won't be many of his genes still in those pups. http://www.thebwra.c...s=5&db=bwra.dbw Cheers.

    Both dogs have a great look to them, what lines is the rough coat from? Doxhope Knights Errant (Deerhound) x Rivington Ena (Greyhound). Cheers.

    These are nice, tight feet, aswell, (no; not the ones in the slippers !! LOL !!); Cheers.

    Now these are good feet, (the dogs, that is !! LOL !!). A young non-ped that is absolutely flying, at the moment; Cheers.

    Why doe's a dog have to have "big feet" ?? Surely small, tight , well constructed feet are better than "big feet" ?? Cheers.

    Just do a "search" on here for "minshaw" & "wrecking crew"; I think there may be one or two references to those names !! LOL !! Cheers.

    As far as I'm aware, there is no cure or prevention for kennel cough. A retired vet told me that. She said the only cure is rest and time. Most vets will take your money and give youre dog shots and tablets,but it still takes time to get over. As Swagboy said, you can give kids cough medicene to relieve the syptoms, but it won't cure it. Cheers.

    Far from sporting.........But if some find it a good way of taking one for the pot, filling a freezer, or selling a few; then I'm not going to judge them ! "Let Him Who Is Without Sin, Cast The First Stone", or so they say !! Cheers. Maybe, or is it just that some people have double standards? Well, as I've been on a hare shoot, (Shock, Horror !!), lamped foxes of the back of a 'keepers truck with a rifle, been on formal pheasant and partridge shoots, as well as my other nefarious countryside activities, I doubt I could be accused of double standards. Cheers.

    Apart from the legalities and morality of it; isn't it a good thing that some turn their hand, (and dog), to something else when the full moon is up ? Cheers.

    I think Lab was saying it COSTS the shoot £3-4 per LIVE poult. A game deasler will only PAY about 25p per bird, but SELL them for about £6 Cheers.

    £6.95, oven ready, at the Game Dealers in Newcastle. The last time I was beating, the Dealer was only paying 25 p each for them, so the shoot owner let us take as many as we wanted, as it wasn't worth him transporting them to town. Cheers.

    Nothing wrong with pegging a bird or two, (apart from raising Lab's blood pressure ) !! LOL !! Cheers.

    All the best with it mate !! I've got a soft spot for Whippets; and I DO like that line !! Cheers.

    Have either of them ever done any work ? What's the purpose of the mating ? Cheers.

    I wouldn't run them down mate. They usualy do what they are bred for, but don't expect them to be taking Fallow, like some on here say they can !! LOL !! Good luck, and have fun with your dogs . Cheers.

    I'm actualy in a very good mood today, it's my 35th wedding anniversary, and I've had a great day out with my wife! So sorry if I come across as a grumpy old twat, it isn't meant...I just hate to see people, especialy young'uns, being ripped off in this game ! Cheers.

    I'm sorry if you think my advice to the lad was wrong ; but I'll bet if he or his brother go for another pup, they will do with their eyes a bit more open ! The young are the future of the game, and If I seem harsh; it's just because I want to see them learn, and not be ripped off ! If this pup turns out to be a wrong'un, because the lad has been ripped off, he might give up on the game...and that's something I don't want !! Cheers.

    I'm intreaged by this ! Why would you want a collie x and then say you want as little collie as possible in it ? There are people who breed and run dogs in Lurcher racing, that are 31/32 Greyhound and 1/32 Collie, just to salve their own conscience and kid themselves that they have "Lurchers" and not "pure Greyhounds" ! Do you want this Greyhound, with a wee bit of Collie in it, for a specific purpose ? Cheers.

    You asked for an opinion mate ! I gave an honest opinion ! If you wanted "nice pup mate", "nice pic mate",perhaps you are on the wrong site and asking the wrong people ! You, or your brother, have bought a pup, without knowing the breeding, without seeing the parents, and have come on here asking if we know what breed it is !!!!!!! Why not 'phone the breeder and ask EXACTLY what it is ??? I'm not trying to knock you or your brother,but if you take a bit of advise and do a bit homework before you buy another pup, you won't have to come on here and ask what cross it is !! And 12" at 4/5 month an
