  5. :clapper: :notworthy: Totally agree with you Derbypoacher i am going to disagree with u lads,,,,,just slightly,,, but in a good way lads ,,,,ive had varyied sizes off whippet type,s lads,,,,but granted not pure whippet,,but i,e whippt crosses a 23in can out start a 19inch just as much as the other way about,,,,certainly over 50 yard mark the 23inch will have stamped its athurity on the dash,,,,,( I,E ONCE A 23INCH GET,S IT HEAD IN FRONT,,,19INCH DOESNT STAND A CHANCE ,,,SPEED WISE ) THATS A FACT,,( 22/23INCH CAN TURN VERY WELL AS WELL,,) BUT K,C PEDS,,22INCH

  10. I totally agree Thomas, bigger doesn't always mean better. As you know i prefer a whippet with good bone, one that can take a knock or two in the field and just shake it off. I wouldn't want a whippet at 22-23" though as i believe you lose the early pace, just what whippets are known for.. It's a real shame that some folk seem to be favouring and breeding 22"+ whippets, some of which don't actually look like whippets. Some have apple heads and usually strong heads. There are a few of us that do try and breed to the standard, Elgadane,pennymeadow,and highisland to name a few. I was
  11. its just that mallys old bitch 21inch 35lb,,,,to my 28lber,,,27lb when racing,,,roughly same size,,,but 8/7lb diffrence,,,,in them,,,i thought wow thats quite alot 25% diffrence in weight,,,, between a ped and a non ped,,,,,,( it might be a splash off grey going threw the non peds,,makes the taller,,than the peds,,,( i thought a 1st peds might be heavier boned,,,not to sure ) i think it was intresting to see the weight diffrence ,,,,in ped and non ped,,,looks like their even more apart than i previouly thought

  13. when it comes to insurance,,,,,,i think its hit or miss i know a dog that died on vet,s table,,,,vet bill was £700,,,,stinger if u had to pay that for a dead dogs treatment ,, the guy got £500 ,,,cos dog died i,e was able to go buy another,,,,not his choice at end off the day,,,but it was peace off mind (not saying too much on here,,,but if ur vet ok,,,he will add excese on to bill so u dont have to pay a penny ) but its all down to what happen,,,,ive got 2 out off my 3 insured,,,and 1 off them has not needed work,,1 has ( i think its down to peace off mind,,,,if

  17. i have a lead for my fawn dog,,,bought from whippet track were the collar,,,is part off lead,,,,were is u just slip over dog,,,and when u let dog out for a run or hunt it slips off,,,,at 1st i thought these lead,s with collars attached to lead were sh~t,,,but they are actaully really good,,,, bought two more ,,,,my younger brother stole them they must of been good for a tenner each i couldnt arugue,,,,( always better dogs hunting without a collar on,,,some old boys used to say there back legs used to catch collars when in full flight thou i never seen this happen,,,i think it was old wife
  18. one year i went up to brother,s house when he stayed up the glen,,,loads off rabbits up there on the hill,,,,but the snow had been lying there for weeks,,,,the rabbits were coming down off the hill to the road side to find food,,,,my dog caught one,,wasnt much of a chase as snow was really deep,,,,at closer expection of the rabbit, there wasnt much meat on it, just a bag of bones,,,walked on abit more same another bag of bones retrived and more rabbits at road side not moving much, probably cause they were starving and deep snow,,,put dog on lead as it wasnt sport but rabbits always bounce

  20. 2nd post is spot on,,,,if u want to feed dogs egg,s on reaglar basises,,,,,just the egg white, ,, not the egg yellow part, thats the way i was taught,,,never asked questions as i was good boy---- but gather there was reason to this,when the older guys taught me, :showoff:
  21. never had a whippet that yapped after prey,,,,,,but its my worst nightmare when the day comes..........i say that because it can happen to anyone,,the same as a fighter in racing,, its down to luck, and how the pup adapts to training,,,,,some whippets brains are full off worms,nothing u can do,,in worst case senaro,could set of ur other dogs to yapp also, espesally ur younger ones if out hunting toghter
  22. back on topic the blue whippet in photo ( IN MIDDLE OFF PICTURE ),,,would take roe,,,, her name was bess 36 lber out of midnight boy x bally storm,,,,,i know she,s not kc,,,,but it does take a GOOD whippet type to take bigger game ,,,,theve either got it or they dont,,,,,,,,,,,,sadly i gave this whippet to an old lady ,,,who,s dog got run over and wanted a whippet type,,, ,and my brother,s still to this day,,,,,,,, give me stick FOR THIS,,for her hunting abbilitiy,,and her bend racing abbillitiy ,,,,but hey, but i had 3 dogs,,old lady had nothing,,she go

  24. noticed most post,s on here said 4/5 year old in racing for speed is 3 year old,,when most dog,s reach there peak so 4/5 year old,,,,seem,s 100% right for hunting ,,,as they will have speed and most imortantly brains,,,,,i,e as young dogs tend to be too flightly and over keen ,,i,e make too many mistake,s thats why i cant understand peoples gettin rid off dog,s under 3 year old weather it be racing or hunting,,,as the dog,s havent mastered there trade by then,,,and pll,s dont give them the benifit off doubt till they learn there trade,,,i,e it takes time ,,,even if dog was
