Nice pup - all the best with it. You'll have a nice team there with the big lad too.

As some may be aware, I lost a spaniel to cancer earlier, so was left without a replacement for my 10 yr old cocker, he still works hard, but now, it`s too hard, he can work to a standstill in a few hours, so I really needed to think ahead.

I do not do the pheasants these days, and have made a commitment to my new lurcher (Jake the Hancock)

So started to look about for a smallish lurcher / running dog, that would hunt up and might be a bit handy around the cover. I have spent a lot of time with Kittlerox lately and his Whippet really impressed as a marking, hunting cur, really sharp at picking them out. That coupled with the fact that my missus (who works the dogs, so get a say) really likes Bedlington crosses means that the new team member is

 

Flint

 

1/4 Bedlington 3/4 Whippet.

Dam was a lovely half x cross that the bloke lamped plenty with and the Sire was a racing Whippet

 

Both dogs from the Darlington area, wee village next to Raby castle

 

Could not find what I wanted up here, or anywhere else really, so the missus found this one for me. Took a lot on spec, so hope I wasn`t lied to but they seemed genuine blokes and kept a few obvious good dogs. The bitch was a peach, really lovely looking half cross, nice wide chest.

 

This wee fella is 8 weeks and has a good look about him. Decent size (hoping for 21" or so, fingers crossed) and is a lovely wee spirited thing. Hope the coat will break as well.

 

He will be ready next winter so I have plenty ahead of me yet, but as I have said, EVRYTHING is taking a back seat to lurcher work for the forseeable.

 

Wish me luck

Cheers for that all blokes

The Dam was 21", bloke reconned she had 300 rabbits last year, but as I say, took a lot on spec, went with my gut more than anything.

The Sire was a racing Whippet. Had the spiel that he was Laguna from way back, but I ignore that TBH. NO Laguna dogs bred for 20 yrs

But the Sire was strictly a racing Whippet. Won at Raby 2 years ago and meant to be fast, (I repeat,, my GUT had more to do with this dog than any sales pitch)

 

Thanks again for the comments blokes

You mean they 'little blue eyes' and the wife had something to do with it more like.....................

Looks a wee cracker though, ATB with him bud......
