Whippet Pup Thread

[Hot Meat 3,109]

Nowt worse than somebody that blatantly knows nowt given advice and ripping folks fir asking similar stupid questions they asked themselves not that long ago, glad I ain't only person who see`s it as it is.....

[sandymere 8,263]

Can't people learn and move on! Perhaps take the middle ground, a little piss taking is fine but taking stuff to extremes is out of order. As I say time to move on?

 

Anyone lamping tonight, I'm not goty beer to drink tonight.

Very clicky on here ....so many experts and wannabes ! Lads ripping the piss who not so long ago didn't have a clue themselves ...but they forget some of the dumb posts they have started in the past lol but one season later know it all ....

The original post was a piss take.

 

No one has taken the piss out of a newbie or bullied anyone as people are implying.

 

 

In truth, I don't think it's just this one particular thread that's being referred to. It's just the place as a whole.

 

You yourself were quite vocal on the whippet pup thread and even converted 200 yards into swimming pool lengths. (Feck knows why you did that!) You're hardly the Old man of the woods, are you? Do you think you've got enough experience to pass comment on other peoples dogs or their hunting techniques?

 

I think that's peoples point, the inexperienced criticising others when they are only repeating what they've heard and read. These people haven't seen enough or done enough to be able to have there own opinion.

 

This isn't a criticism Gaz but you had to ask a couple of fellas which dog you should choose out of a litter. You did that because you didn't know enough and called on those that did. That was the right thing to do. But in the next breath you can't be lambasting others for not knowing enough or for making newbie mistakes with regards to dogs breeding.

 

 

You have made so many rediculous and unsubstantiated points there, I dont know where to start.

 

1) The whippet pup thread was a joke, a wind-up, someone taking the piss.

 

2) The converting 200 yards to swimming pool lengths was just to put it in real terms, you were saying 200 yards was a realistic length to slip a dog on the beam, and more to the point you said you could identify a species of quarry at that range. I was stating that I disagree and to arrive at that decision I converted 200 yards into real terms.

 

3) My experience is minimal compared to some of the blokes on here, but of course I can pass comment on a mans dogs or hunting technique. Why shouldnt I say a dog is nice looking or in good shape? Why shouldnt I say if I disagree with someones methods? Doesnt mean I am right or wrong and I am always open to suggestion.

 

4) I didnt ask anyone which dog I should choose. I made my mind up before even seeing the litter. I knew which pup I wanted. I was asking them which pup THEY would choose from the photo if it was there choice. Why not? Curiosity. Everyone said a different pup. It was just interesting to see what they said and why. Some looked at head shape, some thickness of legs, some feet. Its all part of learning isnt it? Asking questions?

 

5) I havent lambasted anyone or taken the piss out of a newbie. I would never do that. The whippet thread was a piss take like so many others on here. If a genuine newbie did come on here asking for a whippet stud to put over his saluki/collie/whippet to produce whippets then yes he would get the piss taken. If his common sence and previous research doesnt tell him that he is talking utter piss with his question then how on earth is he going to manage with the day to day basics of a working dog? Yes I have asked plenty of questions in the past. Some stupid ones to the experienced man I am sure. But any that stupid? I dont think so...

 

All the best.

Talking of name changes

[Ideation 8,216]

Just for the record. . . . I realise that the original thread was most likely a piss take. . . . and this thread wasn't aimed at any one person.

 

But this place is becoming somewhere that if someone puts a foot wrong or gets owt wrong. . . . they are slammed, and not just in a constructive or jokey way. A lot of the time it seems that some folk use it to make themselves look big or seem knowledgeable. . .

 

Most of this thread however, was aimed at the fact that the two camps on the thread then suddenly started launching into each other and bickering like wee girls, including some pretty nasty personal stuff . . . .

 

This place is getting worse and worse to be fair. . . . . and there is less and less decent discussion or good threads. . . . and just more 'piss takes' and arguments.

 

And i've had a shitty day can you tell?

My name change was due to some little prick finding me on another site and causing me some myther, because stupidly I had my full name as my username. I stil openly admit that I havent got a clue. But I am out there learning off the lads that do

 

I never said she was a deerhound x greyhound. Call her a Malamute for all I care. I wont be calling her a lurched though

 

Edited to add - You accusing someone of nit picking. Laugh a minute mate.

I agree there mate .... But luckily there's a few decent guys that make it worth logging on still. I think there's a lot who don't bother posting anymore just becuase of the jealousy and bitching. It's often the people that fancy themselves as "proper" dog men and think of themselves as experts in every concievable form of hunting that never actually put up any posts or write ups.too many people take this Internet lark too seriously and try to paint this picture of doing everything the running dog world has too offer. It's only the Internet lads FFS.....

Gaz, we have a mutual friend on Facebook who's seen my dog run, seen him pick up bunnies after long slips, seen the distance I slip at and seen my big lumbering 30" deerhound x, overtake a fast 25" dog, then out turn him and out accelerate him and catch the quarry. I'm sure he can explain what I'm about, whether I'm a keyboard warrior and whether or not I've been running dogs for years. He'll also tell you that I'm a bigger piss taker than anyone.

 

 

Why the hang up with the guy calling his dog a whippet, it had more whippet than anything, and if crossed to a whippet then the pups would be even more whippet lol like your deerhound x lollol

 

But my pup is a deerhound x

 

Or do you disagree?

 

His would never be whippets would they?

 

 

Your pup is a lurcher, my dog is a deerhound x.
