Whippets, is their prey drive a detriment to their working ability?

[darbo 4,776]

is the dam and sire not on the whippet archives ?

[Ideation 8,216]

Aye probably, i've never really looked to be honest.

[Sirius 1,391]

It's a good site for whippet info and breeding.

 

I think some people who may breed MORE than average amounts of whippets litters don't always use it, maybe it's due to volume?

What's the sire and dam? Handy looking dog atb with him.

[Ideation 8,216]

Sire is a dog called 'Foxer something or other' and the Dam is called "Rabbit Catcher something" lol, i've got them on his ped. The bitch was out of Mike Browns Glen, over a bitch sired by Sooty Sam., the Sire was out of a dog sired by Lord of the night, over a Laguna bitch, stuck over another bitch sired by sooty sam. If that makes any sense. He does for me.

Should be on whippet archives

[Ideation 8,216]

I'm sure he may well be mate, like i said, i just haven't looked.

The muntjac buck whose head is shown skinned and boiled out took the throat out of a 60lb bull cross which bled out in the field.

They are savage things Moll, all my dogs are insured now and this has saved me several thousands of pounds in muntjac-related vets bills, but my oldest friend lost a really good whippet dog to a muntjac buck just three weeks ago.

Don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh LG.

shame about your mates dog,,,, but in hertfordshire i can see very clearly

[carp king 155]

Vixen my Fawn bitch has never killed a rabbit in her life, infact she can be a little too soft mouthed at times. In My opinion it's how you enter a whippet, if you enter them too young they soon realise it's much easier to carry a dead rabbit than one thats still alive. Thats why i only enter whippets when there both mentally and physically mature.

 

 

 

 

tell you what mally thats a beutifull animal that my bitch is like that but a tad lighter in colour
