I'm not talking ones that took one here and there I meen dogs that when you slipped them week in week out you were coming back with good numbers! What would be the smallest that you think a dog could be, And come back with good numbers? Atb if your talking lamp you want a strong dog that caN USE ITS GEARS STRIKE WELL AND GOOD OFF THE BOTTOM IF YOUR TALKING DAYTIME YOU WANT TOTAL OPPOSITE YOU WANT A FAST DOG THAT CAN STICK WELL AND STRIKE WELL AND CAN OUT AND OUT RUN Edited October 26, 2012 by minshaw man Quote Link to post

john rust 45 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 when coursing whippets under rules. what was the slipping distance 35 yds? I think so, yes. i think it when coursing whippets under rules. what was the slipping distance 35 yds? I think so, yes. i think they aimed at 50yard slips,,,and pure whips didnt catch much with also some pure whip ,,,not ALL,,,wouldnt live with a hare if hare decided enough is enough and took off,,,,some pure,s aint that fast,,,again not ALL ,,u get good and bad in every breed sort off speak I've been out with pure whippets and have one myself so I have to dis agree, they do catch and catch well. Ok your not going to get a course like a saluki x but they stick tight and normally do them on the turn but it fast and over quick. If the hare does get a head 9 times out of 10 it get away, but talking about small fields with hedge not fens. I've never hunted fens so I don't know but for me a good whippet with good fitness will catch hares regular . I may be biased as well Quote Link to post
