Gripper

thanks for the replys ive got 1 in a stew as we speak with pearl barley bit of bacon etc. i was told they need to be hung for a day or two and frozen for 3 weeks so i thought i would make sure first nice one

can somebody please tell me what to do with rabbits inbetween catching and cooking, how long is the rabbit supposed to be hung up to bleed, and does it have to be frozen, if so how long for. thanks

my lurcher is called tess, arnt i good

i would not encourage on rats until it has been started on the bunnies will only promote a hard mouthed dog imo,its just a pup mate it will soon get the hang of picking them up im sure,be patient,bit young for my liking to be running quarry yet anyway but that's another story. once established on the bunnies then you can turn it on other quarry they aint stupid and learn easily the difference between something that bites back and something that does not, don't want a dog killing bunnies anyway if you ask me,retrieve live to hand is something i all ways try and strive toward but each to their

dont worry about it my lurcher bitch was doing the same thing a few months ago when she was about the same age, so i give her a few sesseions on the lead watching more experienced dogs, then soon enough she squealed a rabbit and she let it go, but she hasnt let one go since. i put a topic on here about it at the time, listen to watchman he gives good advice

called my pup floyd

what a mess

there spot on mate i like the look of the black n white one at the bottom thanks for that

im not looking for points of view on the breed ive seen all that on here before, just pics and info, ive just got a 1st x whippet/grey pup for rabbiting small fields and for big ears anyone got one ?

German Sheperd / Grey, 11months old 23" has anyone else got any pics of this breed ?

theres a lot of strong opinions on here, but the people who have posted with experience of the breed havn't left a negative post yet, all the bad points of the breed have been pointed out by peoples opinions. this breed may not have the best stamina but if there was such thing as a perfect breed evreryone would have one

depends on the dog

just so i know, how would shooting your dog with a .22 stop it yapping , ive seen this on another topic before, sounds pathetic to me.... a yapping whippet can still make an exelent ratting and fereting dog if thats what u want it for

have a look at the topic called "big problem" i put it up because i have the same problem and there is some spot on advice on there, someone has written up 3 steps to improvong a dogs prey drive, its worth reading mate brilliant post
