    Im interested to here what other lads think who have experience with pedigree Whippets, what age they should start on the bigger ones. Lamp or daytime.

    Im now happy with the way my 14 month old Whippet is coming on, at first she didnt know how to strike, she seemed to be using her feet but after her first rabbit she started to get the hang of it. Last night I slipped her on her first long ears, she picked it up but had a bad tumble and she let go. The second one she struck at it twice taking the fur from its back end, it was lucky and got through the hedge. Im hoping its only a matter of time, the more I run her the better shell get, shes very keen so Im sure she wont get sick.

    Well since her first rabbit she's started picking up, even retrieving back to hand but last night she's gone and hit the barbed wire and ripped her leg quite bad. I've had her to the vets to be stitched so looks like she'll be laid off a few weeks...

    Thanks pal, no more lamping now till the moon goes

    She has caught he first rabbit, first strike, I'm over the moon. Patience has payed off. Took my time with her, only slipping her on sitters when lamping, I will still keep to only slipping her on sitters till I think she's cracked it.

    When the weather turns and we get a bit wind, when lamping the bunnies will be sitting further out.

    Anyone had a young dog not quite learning how to pick up. My bitch is keen enough but rabbits constantly running into the hedge I'm a little worried it may sicken her. Her last 5 or 6 slips have been on sitters when out lamping.

    I've a 13 month old whippet she's not striking picking up. I've been lamping with her only slipping her on the sitters. She's mad keen to chase, I was teasing her with a dead rabbit, still warm she was ok with picking it up, I'm hoping it will just click with her, she's keen enough.

    Good dog pal, you can see he loves his work. Can you tell me what make of lamp your using, there looks to be no glair or very little. Thanks

    Anyone using the Tracer sport light, with the adjustable beam spot or flood. Just wondering are they any good ? I cant make my mind up to buy the Tracer and get the 10Ah Lithium Battery from HuntersChoice, or save some money and go for the PLR500 LED lamp from Clulite. Thanks in advance

    Hello brenner, thanks for your comments, she's from the Colooney show kennel they are from Ireland but moved to Scotland over a year ago. Her pedigree is all show dogs but as you know most Whippets will chase anything that's in front of them. My Borders put up plenty so she will get her chance.

    Thanks for the comments lads

    I totally agree with Extreme Hunter, if you let them get their own way they will try you all the time. The dermal docent hurt only a bit of noise.

    Thats what I use, no bleeding perfect.

    Hi all I've been on the site a while now, Ive had Terriers Leachers over 30 years but not owned a Leacher for about 15 year. For the last 5 years I've been breeding/showing Border Terriers and love every minute of it. Ive recently got my my self a pedigree Whippet pup for showing at the Kennel club shows and working shows, I will have to try my hardest to not let her slip when the big ears jump up around the fields were I live lol

    Ive recently bought a pedigree Whippet pup to show at kennel club shows and also to take with me to the working terrier & Leacher shows when I show my Borders. Any of you lads used/using pedigree Whippets for coursing hares, what were they like, do you think they manage ok in big open fields. Ive used Saluki crosses many moons ago and seen Greyhound x Whippets run but I've never seen a pedigree Whippet course.
