    the only way you will find anything is to find the dams name. if mike bred the dog it will be kc registered as someone already said. he just did not transfer ownership. Tom

    i have 3 whippets and my friend has 3, and i know a few othe lads that all work whippets, non of which open up when chasing. racing whippets tend to yap more but good working dogs will very rarly yap. like what has already been said if your on permission whats the problem. Tom

    do you know your whippets breeding. with him yoiu should probe take him ferreting and let him hold rabbits in the nets first of all this give him the confidence with the rabbits, i have not had this problem with my whippets but maybe some one else will be able to give you more advice Tom

    Up at one of the farms in the Dales again today. Me Nigel & Harry and the 2 whippets Fly and Dodger arrived to find lots of low cloud and a very grey day. We had a couple of large sets to ferret to begin with that we had seen the last time we were up on this place . We ferreted these with good results and soon had a few rabbits in the bag. As we walked up the fell we came across a ram in a ditch that had been on it`s back for a while. We tried to get it up on it`s legs but it didn`t look too good. A quick call to the farmer notified him of the ram , which he came up later to sort out, We

    out again in the dales at the request of the farmer. this place is really over run probably due to the cold winter forcing them down off rthe fell to lower wqarmer ground but they have not moved back up and have bred with the dry summer. Fly is maturing into a very good working bitch picking 2 good rabbits up off there seats out of the reed beds as well as flushing many more for her and Tod to run and catch. heres a few pics of the dog Young Fly with a perect mark then the action

    we know the land and our limits. what i dont understand is if the ground is 2 hard now when do you run the dogs. in england we have about 5 days a year with ideal ferrting weather the rest would be to hot, 2 cold,ground baked 2 hard, frozen solid to muddy, 2 boggy, 2 dusty, grass 2 sharp nettle to high. to many rushes, to many hedge rows, 2 many rabbit holes, when would you take your dog out for a run in ideal conditions we just dont get them. THE WAY SOME ON HERE GO ON YIOU WOULD THINK THEY WERE ANTIS. tell me what is wrong with this dog, he is mega kean and loves every minute wil
  18. Chickens4ever05
    get over it my dogs are more than capeable and have proved it. At least we all know where we stand with the whippets. good quality proven dog good stamina, nose, FEET ect why not offer him out to stud, i have not let him be used yet as i dont feel the [bANNED TEXT] bitch has come along that deserve what this firey young dog can offer. As for kits i bred 2 jill last year and kept 2 jills back for myself, i have some cracking young kits on at the minute which alot have gone to pet homes and a few for working i dont breed anything i dont have a demand for. your [bANNED TEXT] these fields
  19. Chickens4ever05
    as for other methods niegther of us shoot and we all know snaring has to be check morning and night and a 2 hour drive aint feesable, as for winter crop its called grass used to make silage, haylage and hay. dontr worry about us if you dont like it dont post if you had the permission to go on you would be at it yourself, why is it always leeview on working whippet post having ago, think you need to spend more time in the field letting the dogs and ferrte do the job they love the ground at this place is nice ground for running on and one the more piecs still very wet. happy hunting
  20. Chickens4ever05
    great pics its seems its always seems to be new permission for the reason for the "pest control" would ya not think instead of ferreting young rabbits and killing them in their nests that snaring would be a better alternative than bolting to whippets on such hard ground? therefore saving the very young rabbits and saving possible injury for yer dogs? why would you save young rabbits? its pest control these farmers are wanting rid not someone to come when it suits them for a bit of sport or conserving pest till wintert a working whippet can manage that ground all day long
  21. Chickens4ever05
    Tell the farmer that when there cutting crop for winter cattle feed and he is getting % less grass of his field than last year this farmer is well and truly peed off with the amount of rabbits hence why we are there this time of year, this is new permission and a quick impact needs making to keep permission. plus its not just crop its the digging causing injuries to cattle and damage to ground.

    My self and Nigle had a trip to the dales this morning to a farm which needed a visit before the end of the season. The Farmer showed us the where he had seen a few and there was certainly a few knocking about. with the jills being in season i took my sandy hob and a sandy jill who is not yet in season, they worked hard to give a few bolters, the big fell killed in under a tree which was hard digging, and unforchanatly the jill found a nest and wiped them out so we called it a day. Jack and Dodger worked well and seened to work well together with Jack basically flushing them out of th
