Alright bud, thanks. I'll just not bother with another yet. He's only 7 months anyway and is coming on great, so I think that sounds about right in what your saying, i'll just focus on him. While i'm here, would you mind giving me a tip on how to best introduce him to coursing? Up to now all I've been doing is taking him in the woods and fields, letting him see a couple of rabbits, sniffing around warrens etc. Cheers

I wanted a companion dog for him to go out on walks with as well, plus the new pup can learn from my Whippet while it's growing up. But I'm not that bothered about going out with other people to be honest, I'd rather just do it myself (not very social lol). Cheers though good sense from desertbred mate,unless you have time to train to pups seperately,all the pup will learn is bad manners and running round like a looney whitch is what pups do,and what can a pup learn from a 7 month old whippet whitch has done nothing ??? I wouldn't be taking the new pup out hunting with my othe

What breeding is the light fawn coloured one with the broken coat? lovely looking dog!

Yeah that's it haha, don't fancy anything with terrier in to be honest I know a lot of people are saying to focus on the Whippet for now, but its more for a companion for him as well, as he's not been around that many dogs (just on walks and the beach etc) He's 7 months now so wont be long until I can actually tale him out *Also, our lass is wanting one too lol...* so while i'm out with the Whipp, she can be taking the pup out and getting it socialised etc.

Thanks for the reply. I'm completely new to hunting with hounds, as I used to shoot on my permission with an air rifle (which I no longer have). I have a pure whippet pup that I'm bringing on at the minute, so something that would pair well with him when out hunting. The main quarry will be rabbits (are hares even legal to course?) and I'm not in to the idea of fox hunting lol. I'd be going both lamping on a night or just out during the morning/evening, and the fields aren't very big, just normal grassy farmers fields. Another factor is the look and size of the dog as I don't want it to be TO

Hi, I'm looking to buy a Lurcher pup (bitch) to take out with my other dog, but don't know how to go about getting the right one for me. I want it mostly whippet, but with some greyhound, saluki and deerhound in it as well. Not sure what the sire and dam should look like to breed off? I'm willing to pay any amount for the right bred pup, just need to know about the breeding. Cheers
