Cheers folks for your positive comments, Hes 20 inchs and should make it to 30lbs hes about 27 lbs at the moment.

I made the decision to get a Whippet above a lurcher because Im new at the game, Its hard in the area I live in to get permission so Im less likely to get pulled, if out mooching with my Pedigree pet Whippet Plus hes Race/coursing bred so something else to fall back into if I cant give him enough work, Hes doing okay with his trialing and his recovery after a run is very good, He is out of Photo Finish, pre Ban coursing champ and Penny pictures race bred, both are keen workers. The pup has had two bunnys to date while out walking, being new as I have said, I have noticed him starting to drop quite low where he knows there are rabbits about to gain some ground before he picks up speed is this what Whippets do ? or do I need to keep him on a lead and only let him do short runs? Also whats the most humane way to dispatch a rabbit Cheers

Photo Finish ( Barney) Coursed under rules pre ban with the East Of England & won a lot of courses he also raced with The Northern PWRC & Lure Coursed aswell.

 

Penny pictures (Bella)bred from racing stock works well & was top lure coursing bitch with The East Anglia Country Club also Lure coursed with The UK Working Whippet Club & raced with The Lancashire PWRC.

As Pennymeadow said he was pre ban, I believe he was the last champ to be made up before the ban came in.

If you have look on archive Whippets it will give more info.

Cheers
