  1. To be honest I don't understand the benefit of a section just for whippets other than hiding from the haters opinions. As a whippet owner I have to say that I actually enjoy the banter.
  2. I think that most whippets take teeth but it feels a bit like driving a saloon over a field as supposed to a 4x4 or like playing Christiano Ronalo in defence. Yes it can be done but it's not what they are built (or bread rather) for.
  3. I think that dogs have to go in Quarantine for a month before you can take them to Oz. That would f**k with my dogs heads if I did that mate
  4. But to answer your question: I have a go beating and I work a whippet and a Lurcher.. I don't take them with me though - I just go beating and flag waving. For beating the guys on the shoot use cockers and Springers. Labs for picking up I hope that this helps
  5. Welcome. Ask that question in the gundog section pal
  6. Sounds like a grand day out.. get some more YouTube videos on. I wanna see some more from Lass
  7. Hi, I have joined a local shoot in a trade off where I go beating in exchange for hunting permission with my Lucher and Whippet. Happy days. I am currently beating without a dog but would like to take on a pup for next season. The decision that I am struggling with is - Springer or Cocker. When I speak to the Springer guys they tell me to get a Springer because they are more intelligent but when I speak to the cocker guys they tell me to get a cocker because they are more steady. For me the dog needs to be: Bidable Intelligent Fast Steady All opinions welcome!
  8. All of the ones that I have met are extremely highly strung
  9. Deerhunter gear is very good but expensive. Not really aimed at us lot - more for shooters but it is very high quality, durable light gear
  10. Surely the best thing for a dog is a good diet? How much change can you see from supplements?
  11. I manage to fit mine in the inside pocket of my wax jacket. This is ideal for when you are trying to appear like you are just walking the dog.
  12. i have seen Tommy27's whippets and that Brindle dog is a little daemon.
  13. Agreed mate. Top bloke who is selling some high quality products
  14. Picked up the DL 120 Gamekeeper from D.Lloyd on here. It arrived 2 days after I sent the money and i have to say - what a piece of kit!! Technology really is at its finest on this lamp. Very tight beam that is more than what I need on my permission (and I have some big old fields there). I remember Gaz_1989 and Tommy27 put a YouTube video on that showed the DL 120 Gamekeeper and compared it to some other lamps and the 120 was noticeably better. It is a wireless LED lamp with built in rechargeable lithium battery that has lasted me 2 nights out without recharging. It is also made
  15. Whip/grey/beddy is a good mix for this in my experience
