JAKEYSMITH 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hello [NO TEXT TALK] out there, my question is, when should you start lamping with whippets? i have a 10 month old whippetxwhippet-collie, when do i go ahead with lamping? Quote Link to post
cumbrian-whippet 1 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 It depends a lot on the dog really. I didn't start lamping with mine untill 14 months because she was still a pup in her head (if you know what i mean) if the dog seems mature enough i would get her started on a few easy runs now imo.

JAKEYSMITH 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 iv been ferreting with him once n he did a job missed a few, only got 1 that was his. a few weeks ago went lampin got a few runs but gave voice when behind rabbits, is this normal for a young whippet?

cumbrian-whippet 1 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 My whippet did this on her first couple of trips out. Make sure you are giving it easy runs or it mite make a habbit of yapping, i found that it was frustration that was making her do this. After a couple of catches she stopped yapping and has never done it since Quote Link to post

I would limit the runs to start with and build up. Its not a good idea to advertise where you go on a public forum though, you will get people on your permission. ha Quote Link to post

watchman 256 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 once a yapper always a yapper id have to agree,but only from what iv seen,obviously there is allways an exception to the rule Quote Link to post
cometa300s 20 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 i hope my whippet/beddy doesent yap but if she does and still catches one a night i dont care it will only be ferret food or for the pot. atb liam Quote Link to post
