Can you post some pictures up! i work a whippet mate to be honest i dont go for all that stuff over working parents i know some people belive that all there is to a dog what its mum and dad do or have done to me its bullShit you only get out of a dog what you put in! now as i said for any keyboard gangsters thats my opion on that anyway just make sure you keep him at a good diet make sure you get him out with other dogs as much as you can if your going to use him with ferrets start getting him used to them now, i also notcie plenty of other whippets like to go for other dogs not when working but when walkin i leave mine alone dont shout at him get a few lures and get him running when hes about 7 8 months old to be honest theres a hole load you can do but with him been quite young not much you can really do yet. so get them pictures posted asap atb mate

I'll message you for your address and I don't mind a novice tagging along as taking a couple out this season with the air rifles and ferreting, we all started somewhere in this game mate

[johnpop 3]

sent my address hope you got it. I also do bits of air gun shooting down my allotment, just grey squirrels add rats, get quite a few as it's on the edge of large woods and I keep chickens and a few tumblers also have a large ava Iry with canarys and beiges so try and keep on top of the pests. cheers
