welshnutter 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 went out last night with hunter1 and his whippet dog fly (in picture). perfect conditions and a few rabbits about. we'd caught 9 rabbits and fly was ahead by 2. moved fields and was fly's slip - he had a crackin course on a rabbit with the rabbit getting away by turning back and jumping over him - fly came back to Hunter1 and then it was ned's slip. we noticed fly was hanging back on the lead - the bag was heavy enough so we called it a day. when we got back to the car fly collapsed - we took him to vets and he passed away a few hours later. the vet reckons he'd either taken a bang to the head (but we didnt see anything happen like that) or some sort of brain tumour fantastic dog - will be missed by all Quote Link to post
