    What I'm saying is it's personal preference for what u do with your dog my pup is going to be a ferreting dog and a lamping dog ad will also do a little bit on the feather. But I have put every last minute of everyday I have spare into my pup and it shows Hes obedient patient clever and behaves how I want him to on the lamp I can't ask anymore of him.

    P.m me mate

    One bad thing is that during day work the dog will hunt up and this is a big no no on the lamp. It's all about how much time u are willing to put into the dog from a young age and when the dog hits 12 months this will show. I take mine out with a chap who has 14 month old collie greyhound whippet and it's not got a patch on mine. Like I say you have got to make time

    Hope so might be going out later with an experienced dog just to watch.

    Thanks mate, and yes he's done a little bit of day work obviously he's only 8 month old so i haven't pushed him to hard. I've done plenty of lamp training with him and if the conditions are right and the rabbits are right then ill give him a run if he doesn't catch I'd place the dummy out and end the night on a high. he's going be a real good dog

    Yea that's the one mate. And yea I'm sure I'll have some good fun, and wish you the same. Atb Cheers, perserverence it is then! I do take her out with a lamp and switch it on and off and get her to come back when off by recall. Have fun with your pup mate, atb

    Yea cheers lads, things are moving in the right direction. For a change haha

    Yes a massive relief for me the retrieve. I used dummies like your self also I get my cousin to nip into the field first and place a few dummies around at night, then walk him up to them on the lamp as soon as he has seen them I would slip him and get him to bring them back to me it's taken 5 months mind..... Lol. Obviously if the lamp is all new to the dog you won't know how it will react under total darkness so it's benifical to do some lamp training.

    I was proud alright mate I will be proud for a good while yet...... Haha

    I wanted the reader to feel as though they were reliving there dogs first catch. I thought it might just raise a smile or two.

    The write up would if been better if I had read it again before I posted it. Haha I've just read it through again and I know it's not an English class but ffs........ Lol Oops

    He is supposed to be collie greyhound whippet but his mum is more of a lurcher she has a bit of everything in her to be honest... But it's not a bad thing really because he has everything you would want in a working dog.so to put it in short I would really call him a lurcher whippet if that makes sense
  17. Me and my whippet x
    Yea mate your bang on that will be it now for a little while. Ill now take him back to to the training field and just tighten up on a few things. Jumping obstacles with and without the practice dummy. It's just nice to know that all the long hard and sometimes frustrating days and nights of training have helped

    Hi all, got to share this as I am overjoyed. Took my pup out on the lamp for a quick wonder conditions were perfect dark and blowing a gale. Obviously with his age it had to be the perfect rabbit also we wonderd through a couple if fields and every rabbit I put the lamp on got up and bolted for cover. I was begining to think it wasn't our night..... Until in the next field the grass was a little longer I flicked the lamp on and saw a pair of eyes glinting right in the middle of the field. I walked tentively towards the eyes. As I got closer the rabbit squatted down lower ears standing to atten

    Hi all, my dog has developed a limp. When I have checked his feet and legs I've noticed that one of his nails is turned to the side a little but he doesn't mind me touching it by this i mean he doesn't cry he nibbles me a little bit but nothing major any ideas fellas?? Or is this a vet job?

    To answer the question you could run a whippet the same as any other dog. If you wanted to run it all night you could with breaks. It's a common misconception that whippets can't handle the "heat" so to speak.
  23. Me and my whippet x
    He's probably right you know mate. Wait for a night when the conditions are perfect and pick your rabbits half grown and squatting. You wouldn't want to spoil all the hard work that's been put in to date.
