laguna whippets

[iworkwhippets 12,521]

Whippets regardless of type can be limited to certain types of ground imo.........apart from pace off the mark theres nothing they excel at that a purpose bred lurcher could bring to the table.

 

I see a laguna whippet work regular and he's a great little dog but I'd prefer something that I wouldn't break so easy.

 

Break easy, what a complete load of utter human bilge, 6 years ive been running em, breakages, [bANNED TEXT] breakages

Other than being a whippet . . . . . .

 

But aye, too true about the fecking breaking!

never had any problems with the laguna breaking that i lamped all those rabbits with. and ive lamped on the same ground as my big dog. even the small whippets had been impresive with there lack of injurys.

The one's I've seen have all gotten injuries,mostly little tears that on a whippet peel like a orange due to there lyrca like skin.

 

Not saying they're shit because I know they ain't just wouldn't be my choice and the thing that would deter me from getting one is they wouldn't suit where I run my dogs.

I know what you are saying mate, and some folk make out like they will break themselves in open fields etc and whilst that may be untrue. . . .

 

. . . . the combination of a small, short haired, thin skinned dog, where the skin is so tightly wrapped about pretty much just muscle and bone, and a very high prey drive can lead to problems . . .

. . . . . having said that, you have a hunting partner that does regularly............

I'm not slagging Finn or whippets Jai,your dog is a great little fella but wouldn't be for me you know that.You know my ground and that's the determining factor,P broke his dog a few times too and I've got another mate who's laguna as 3 legs, like I say on ground that suits them they're cracking little dogs.

I know mate, the lack or 'emoticons' is creating problems. If i could use them i'd have stuck a grinning face and a thumbs up on the end of that last post and you'd have known i was pulling your leg butt.

 

You know if you keep on like this your gonna make me paranoid and i'll have to leave him at home when i come over (insert sticky out tongue face)!

 

We shall see if he is still here next April. Fingers crossed. (Thumb up face).

Never mate........he'd have a place in my team anytime I'd just use him where he'd be more suited.I think a lot of people don't realise just how brutal the ground I work can be for any dog not just a whippet.

Break easy, what a complete load of utter human bilge, 6 years ive been running em, breakages, [bANNED TEXT] breakages

 

you,ll be saying they dont fee the cold on a wet windy day ferretting next

 

out of all the running dogs ive seen. whippets tear the worst. ive seen em bounce off things that could kill a bigger dog. and work on unscathed. and ive seen em run through a hedge after a rabbit and come out the other side skinned

[steveS.Yorks 161]

All that jazz about 'they are laguna in name only'. . . . . . only in so much as is true with any line, i.e it morphs, twists and needs out crosses and new blood brought in.

 

I have a 'laguna' dog here and cannot fault him, although i mainly use him daytime. Massive heart, huge prey drive and great stamina etc, very strong.

 

I'd say there are better lamp dogs.

 

But probably not much better 'lines' of whippet.

 

If i was looking for a Laguna whippet i'd either go to MB or speak to Mally on here (never met the second but his dogs speak volumes).

 

Most of them are like peas in a pod as well, never seen such a consistent line, black, white dab on chest, prick ears etc.

 

Cracking dogs, i love em.

Dont suppose you understand how funny those 2 sentances are ideation? "new blood brought in" and mentioning MB f*****g classic mate

what terrain is the best for running the whippet on

and what isnt the best

[firstrike 21]

MB doesnt carry the laguna prefix, do any of the dogs pictured or mentioned in this thread actualy have the laguna prefix at the start of there kennel name..'I seriously doubt it'If you want a laguna bred whippet you need to go to the lady that actualy breeds them not the hawkers riding on the back of her good name..

[cocker 2,654]

does anyone on here have a genuine laguna whippet, with the laguna prefix, off lyla, bred off genuine laguna parents, with laguna prefixes, i very very much doubt it, but i would be extremley interested in hearing from anyone who does have one, which they bought directly off lyla, or even anyone with, a dog or bitch with the laguna affix, eg lilting laird of laguna,

(not having a go or looking for an argument just genuinley interested.)

Aye mate i guess your right and all them whippets from MB etc are just pure shit and don't graft? Whereas all the whippets you see running about from her kennels are top workers?

 

It's about the dogs, not the people. If it does the work it's supposed to and does it well, who gives a f**k who bred it??? Or what it's KC name prefix is?

 

It's an old debate and it's boring, cos i've yet to see anyone hold up a whippet from mb and say it was a piece of shit.

 

They only ever seem to chat on about the bloke.

i have been coursing with her a few times and the proper lagunas were in a league of there own globally, lyla and dorrit have done more, and won more in the field, with there whippets than anyone else, this thread was about LAGUNA WHIPPETS, mick browns are not laguna,s fact. end of
