fresh earth 47 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Geese its whippets i own ? my dogs all retrieve live rabbits to hand if i wanted rabbits for dog feed id still have my bullx. He also didnt have a hair out of place. I run a rubber brush over all my dogs every day to keep there coat in good nick a scruffy looking dogs no use to me when i pay alot of money for something i respect and look after it. All the rabbits have some fur out of place. As for the hare it was shot on a shoot run by a close freind and was merely tracked by the bitch , she wont touch dead game so its not surprising it has a lovely thick clean coat. I run my dogs on heather quarys and plows and my dogs are never in a state any different than above. The first picture was taken at a race meet and the bitch had just run 3 or 4 trials as for more muscle for an 18" bitch i wouldnt want her any more muscled up she is bang on 22lb and thats her bang on she is on red mills racer with added game and fish and thats her natural shape she runs loose for 2 hours a nite so the only way i could get any more muscle on the specific dog would be on a tread mill and i dont believe in the use of them i prefer to be hands on.

whip x grey 276 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 hows the whip/grey pup kris ???? are u going to show on sunday,,,,should be nice relaxing day for all back to topic,,,,lol,,,,for me a whippet should be quick off the mark,,,slim,,,,i,e ( all muscel and bone and skin) what ever their shape,,,,,firery , yet laid back , and easily trainable do i think kc,,,fecked them up ,,, some off the way when it came to ,there lightning starting speed,,,,but not all as they still keep there stamia side ,,(i,e deep chest) where as there cousins keep speed but not stamia,,,its a double sided sword,,,i allways thought breed kc to racers togher get best off both,,,,, ,,,,its not how they stand to show, at grufts,that makes the whippet ,,,, when a greyhound x terrier where breed to make the 1st whippets ,,,,there was NO height or size requirment,,,,,,just quick and firery,,,,,,that,s what i belive was the plan,,,,,but i could be wrong,,,,as i wasnt born then lol Quote Link to post

fresh earth 47 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Crush is coming on fine bob settling down but still likes a yap to herself. Never grown any just matured on a bit . Been working saturdays till 4pm its been driving me mad. Iv been keeping her on the leash as she was klipping her toes when walking on her front right so though she maybe took a knock so giving her a chance as iv seen a few decent greyhounds snap hocks after a slight knock. But all in all she is a cracking wee bitch soft as muck loves a good rub of the belly lol ill get the mrs to get a few shots of her tomorrow and stick em up . Didnt make the show today forgot it was bloody on how did it go was it busy enough ? Quote Link to post
