Pricked eared whippets.

[Moll. 1,770]

Can still catch rabbits

 

Even though i did not want him too. Been out doing mole work and took Boo for the day.

First one lifted as i was looking at the hills, not long after we got into the field. Unfortunately the camera was on manual focus

 

 

I got it back onto auto just in time for Boos strike/tumble.

 

 

Back up and at him.

 

 

Now back to Mam with the prize.

 

 

Them bloody ears

 

 

A quick readjustment of hold.

 

 

And continue to Mam.

 

 

 

Unfortunately this rabbit was not blessed with the same ears as Boo

 

 

The next one was a couple of hours into setting traps, must have been laid low for ages, did not even see Boo catch it.

 

 

Loads of mole hills, loads of traps set, plus 2 rabbits (both bucks), I'd call that a good day out...even though my whippet is not 'perfect'

I read something on some thread a while ago that prick ears are a sign of bad breeding, it narked me a bit

Little Boo didly catches bunnie's and plenty of them so surely that is a bit of good breeding and not bad..

I wouldn't say it was a sign of bad breeding, Race bred whippets often have stick up ears as do a few from working lines. I must admit though i'm not keen on seeing ped whippets with stick up ears.

 

Below is four generations of my whippets, Grandmother, daughters and son.
