Yes, I agree with your way of thinking, BUT, there are plenty of pet bred whippets have caught allsorts of game/quarry over the years.
I, myself, have even owned a few.
Cracking dogs.
Bangers, my man, I'm not assuming anything, don't need to.
Why are you always so uptight?
Sit down, cup of tea and a couple of hobnobs, maybe even a bar of cadbury's caramel, relaaax.
Not picking at you, Gooey, but with all your years with dogs, and the dog people around you, I'm genuinely quite surprised that this problem has got so far.
Good luck with your dog.
Up to the elbows in slop?!
Gooey, don't talk so f****n round shouldered!!
The mud on it is just above it's pasterns ffs.
If that dog was up to it's elbows in the slop, the c**t would hardly be able to catch it's own breath, never mind a hare!!
I didn't say people wouldn't pay that, Gooey.
And my earlier post was to highlight the fact that no matter how much you pay, or how good the breeding is, it certainly DOESN'T guarantee anything.
And, like franks dad said, what made that particular pup stand out that much from it's littermates, that someone was prepared to pay £25k for it?!
Snaafi dancer, thoroubred racehorse, sired by Northern dancer, possibly one of the greatest sires, and prodcer of winning offspring, was bought at auction as a yearling for $13.2 million dollars.
It was that slow his owners/connections deemed him not good enough to even enter one race.
Gooey, you there, mate?
After benavidez destroying yarde last night, I can't smile wide enough, again!!
I'll say it again, alvarez has NEVER wanted to, and never will fight benavidez, and has clearly ducked him.
How or why is it, that the majority of all these coursing bred/saluki types or whatever, are all lies, cloak and dagger and badly written out, names spelt wrong or sometimes scribbled out etc etc on the pedigree etc?!!
Seems like unless you were actually there when the dogs were bred/coupled, you've been led a dance and hoping that what the breeders have told you is the truth?!!
