    I suppose it's down to what you need. I have a 23" bitch that is a decent all rounder, but was a bit small in some situations; so I brought in 1st cross Deer/Grey pup. She is now 29" and doing exactly what I wanted from her. Cheers.

    No offence mate, but you seem to be a very naive lad, trying to get your experience by talking on here ! Fair enough if you are getting out and having a go, but maybe you should try and hook up with someone who has done a bit and learn from them. As for your dog yapping, it seems to me it was overmatched, to far a slip, possibly a hare, started to young, who knows ?? Also, if you ARE going to run hares.... get a better lamp. Cheers.

    They don't need to be huge dogs, and if you are hunting in blackberry, native bush or pine blocks; then something the size of a deer/grey could be a disadvantage. The type of land in NZ differs considerably from the land in Aus, and different types of dog are needed for different land worked. I've seen and heard of all sizes and types of dogs worked on pig in NZ and some very strange, (to us in the UK), crosses ! The dogs in this pic were Blue Merle Collie, Staffy, and two Ridgeback X Labs; This was a pure Huntaway; They all worked pig. I suppose it depends on the type of

    Why should the hare have more respect than any other quarry ? Surely ALL quarry, even vermin, deserves the utmost respect ? To be honest, I've caught far more daytime hares, and it's my favourite field sport, but if one gets up in the lamp, it takes it's chance, like all other quarry ! Cheers.

    It's EXTREMELY rare that a decent, adult dog is sold ! Even if there is a genuine reason for selling such a dog, they don't need to be advertised. If they are the least bit good, there will be people waiting to take them on ! And you've just realised there are dodgy people in the dog game ?? LOL !! Never buy an adult without a trial, or better still, get a well bred pup, from proven parents, and bring it on your self. Cheers.

    Well, I'll be the first to admit, my night vision has deteriorated with age, but I find that with a red filter, I can't see a rabbits eyes at all !! Wheras a deers eyes stand out like a beacon ! As I say, it's probably my eyesight, but I find a red filter worse than useless for rabbits. Cheers. try amber Probably worth a try, also heard that green works OK aswell; but I'm stuck in my ways now, and to tight to pay to experiment with different filters !! LOL !! Cheers.

    Tried using a filter when I used a Clulite, but didn't find any difference; now I use a Blitz, I doubt I could be fussed messing about with a filter that size !! LOL !! Cheers.

    Not sure what you mean by "not be walked prior to lamping" ? I like to get the dogs a bit exercise before lamping, to loosen them up a bit, saves them getting muscle pulls, strains, etc, by running "cold". Cheers.

    I think the only Pedigree Whippet to ever win R.ch's at both WCRA and BWRA, was Mystic Pepe, an outstanding Ped, who was Laguna bred, from coursing stock. The difference in speed these days means a Ped would have no chance at gaining a Non-Ped R.ch now, but he must of been some dog in his day ! Cheers.

    The lad with Sally is still a mate of mine, I'll be seeing him on saturday at his stables. He is still into the dogs, he's got a wee Beddy/Whippet now. I can't believe it was almost 40year ago I was running dogs at the Rising Sun ! Cheers.

    The modern Manchester Terrier has absolutely nothing to add to Lurcher breeding.......... and anyone crossing a Manchester Terrier with a Whippet is simply spoiling the Whippet blood ! A useless cross that will be good for nothing. Cheers.

    There's a guy or two on here who will go along and rip it all down with their bare hands and stuff it up the land owners arse, if you tell them where it is......... and then come on here bragging about it !! LOL !! Cheers.

    I don't think there is a Hall of Fame thing for Whippets, that includes the fastest times. I would think the fastest at the moment is a dog called Loves Lockdown, which is breaking Greyhound track records on the bends, not sure how it does on the 150 yards straight track, though. It's a big dog, and some people might not class it as a "Whippet", but if the BWRA doe's, then it's their rules, and that's what counts ! Cheers.

    Common Ground is only "common" in name only. ALL land in the UK belongs to someone, usualy the Church of England, or the Crown, if it is designated "common"; and without written permission from the owner or tenant, you will be breaking the law, even if it's just rabbits you're after ! Cheers.

    How can the Midlands to Newcastle be "to far to travel" ???? What is it...150-200 mile ? If you REALY wanted one of these pups, you'd get the bus or the train to get up here to get one ! Cheers.
