  1. Not archives mate,just some very small dogs with a few rabbits
  2. Patley bridge in yorkshire?Cant imagine your area is any different,certainly havent seen anywhere in your county I wouldnt feel confident in running a dog.Give me a few days,I have some negatives of my first dogs up in the loft,let me get hard copy from them,whippet types that we all had as kids,I have a decent pic of a few rabbits they caught over a couple of nights on really hard ground in northumberland,never got a nick,scratch,nor mark on them,they werent pure whippets,just sold as whippets But an ounce of practical is worth a ton of theory
  3. Which part of the north was the guy from who sent his whippet back up?
  4. Bedfordshire was never exactly renown for its arduous terrain,ask your mate with the frail fragile whippet to take you north,try parts of yorkshire and northumberland,its a little different
  5. The terrain in your area artic is no better and certainly no worse than the north of england mate,thats a fact
  6. I think the only people who can answer the original posts are those who have owned whippets and worked them around the british isles for several seasons to evaluate their performance
  7. His daughters exactly the same size as he is now Micky She still has growth in her.
  8. The whippet in the Pic I posted was shaun Wilsons baldrick,very good rat dog,better at rabbits though,I think he was tiny 17 inch?He was as good a retriever as most lurchers
  9. A few of my mates had racing whippets when I was a kid,seen them work around northern england,even took one lamping to Caithness once,they performed admirably otherwise they wouldnt have been kept,I have seen a few whippets take 20+ bunnies in a nights lamping,not a huge amount but decent enough for tiny dogs
  10. Its always in the last place you will look Stubby,remember that
  11. Your expecting me to say something like chlamydia Jack,I know how your mind works
  12. I had a rescue greyhound for three months,her most memorable catches included my polecat hob next doors cat and a sheep very fast,caught rabbits with ease
  13. Its a once in a lifetime,I would have kept it,imagine finding a hoxne How did old Eric Lawes feel as he took that first spadefull of soil out
  14. Yup,but it was a long time ago,and you probably wouldnt believe it
  15. I recognise that lake JOE,didnt realise they allowed daytime fishing
  16. Machines depreciate rapidly,my local detecting shop is only a mile away,he has a decent array of used machines at affordable prices because detectorists are like fishermen,always wanting the next models,you can get a sovereign used with 8 inch coil for a couple of hundred quid
  17. Get it priced by Chirs Rudd groat,I remember an incredible byzantine coin he was auctioning once
  18. Groat,as soon as I saw your name I knew you were a numismatist,excellent stater
  19. Maybe you could give Ferreter_joe some tuition grandad I am sure he would appreciate it
  20. I remember the powermax,whats that shop in London did all the laser and tesoro products?Loads of finds in cases,was like a regular treasure trove inside.
