neilsherlock 226 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Ive got a friend with a beddy/fell x whippet /grey. 18 months and keen as mustard, puts 100 percent in but yaps like feck. Is it worth watching to see how he comes on-is it hereditary-im thinling this because I have a very good bitch I would of put him too if he stayed good for a couple of years, but the yapping worries me to much. He also has a good sibling that doesnt yap but if its hereditary im gonna steer clear of him too. A shame because otherwise hes a nice dog Quote Link to post

stewie 3,387 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 years ago i was given a young bitch and she was a yapper.... i listened to all the advice like "rest her up" "find her easy ones" "catch one, call it a night" etc etc did all that, took her out, still yapping lol after so long i gave her to a guy who went out in the day with a couple of spaniels and he couldnt care less if she yapped so all ended all good....... good luck...........

FUJI 17,291 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 If it puts gear in the bag does it really matter if it yaps? No it isn't really what you want but then again a dog that can't jump or retrieve or kill 50 rabbits or 5/5 hares or pull a Fallow buck single handed isn't either lol...I've been around dogs for a good old few years and I'm yet to see the "perfect" dog..just get on with the job with the tools available to you..ATB Andy 5 Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,291 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 My mate was telling me the other day about a coursing meet he went to back in the days before the ban came into effect...all Saluki types,said there was more yapping from them then what comes from a pack of fell hounds on the scent of a fox lol..so don't be fooled into just thinking its a rare occurrence? Some of these Fen yappers were being bought and sold for thousands and will no doubt of been bred from? Quote Link to post
