    over the last couple of months we have had to carry out a fair bit oof pest control on some farms, not a good job but you have to keep going too keep ther permission any how i have used it to my advantage to get my young whippet flint up and running for the coming season, he is doing very well marking, catching and retrieving so looking good come september when it really starts, here is some pics from one of a out last puting last weekend.

    doesn';t the poodle help for people who are allergic to dogs, im sure that was the orginal reason for the labrdoodle to create guide dogs for the blind who were alergic to dogs, so i guess the guys who relly want to hunt with lurchers but them, there partener or thier childeren are allergic they might be willing to give one a chance Tom

    its funny that opening up has be brought up, i have 3 none of which open up, i have been out with running whippets and thier 2 whippets never opened up, i also go out with black whippet of rabbitrunner whippets and he has 3 bitches and a dog and they dont open up, i also know that black whippets has taken several people with pure kc whippets and they naver yap eigther, is it poss the dogs that yap are enetered to young. the working whippet to me is more than caperable of punching above its wieght and many do and some on a regular basis. it just not broadcast Tom

    it depends on what you are doing when we are out ferreting we alwasy have 2 dogs which are free running so as a rabbit bolts more often than not both whippets will chase sometime we hold one just depends on the land, if we were lamping its would be one dog at a time, and other time if there sre holes on either side of a wall or fence we have a dog on either side and they have single runs, all the land we work we have permission so normally a pair of us go and take a dog each, like a say it depebnds on th curcanstances of the land and the runs. and just becuase there is 2 dogs dosn't mean t

    somw older pics on rougher ground ect touch wood i have never had a running indurey on my whippets, and certainly never a prob with feet we were out on many days at -6 and -7 some day even lowere very hard ground but we keep going in order to keep permission simple as that, i think the whippet is highly under rated and surrounded by myths about shivering and being fragile with no stamina there are some good breede
