  3. May sound like a daft question..but whats the best way getting your dog into good shape. Plenty of running or as i hear a lot of people saying road walking. Whats so good about road walking?
  4. Only had my we bull whippit month and half now, started him of ferreting 1st going into open field and letting the rabbits get good head start and letting the dog catch and retrieve then let him catch a few by just bolting the rabbits ferreting. Then when i went lamping he knew the score, didnt take squated rabbits untill they ran but most dogs learning dont take squaters. best of luck

  11. hi i had a frst cross about 23tts (15 years ago )he did his job well , he only had rabbits in his first season but at approximately 2 years old he was switched to charlie and did the job well, he lacked a little in speed but made up for it in bravery and determination. he worked well with my 3/4 greyhound whippet who had all the speed, reasonable stamina but little else. Cheers mate. Hes quickest we dog i have seen is going to make a great rabbit dog. Hes very game and still young still a bit of growing to do but has filled out well. Will post how he does if he gets put into charlie w

  13. I am not that long into the game, have always went out with mates for a long time lamping and ferreting with there lurchers. Recently just bought a we bull whippit cracker we dog. Started her of catching bolted rabbits while ferreting and done well, hes caught a few on the lamp to just getting used to the lamp now. He is just turned 13 months. Everyone i go out with keep lurchers none of them have whippits but i decided to start with a whippit as they are cracker for rabbits..whats your opinions on using them for foxes? Hes a game we dog.
