Agree, a very nice pair of runners you have their Fathom.

The best of luck with them, hope your foot gets better soon.

Thanks Irish lurcher, Frank and cuagusgiorrai for your comments, dogs are doing really well im well chuffed with them there real natural's Tipps a really laid back dog settled in his job he knows what he's doing retrieves live to hand everytime, Peggy is a real wee demon on rabbits a total natural is not the word theres no hedge she wont fly through to catch a coney, the big dog pulls of headges when were out lamping which i dont mind he just straight back to heel then we try for another, but nine times out of ten the rabbit has'nt went to ground this i have learnt from working the wee dog she will bull into any hedge are scrub and either push the rabbit back out into the field our nail it in the hedge the alot of fire in that wee dogs belly, her retrieving could do with a bit of polishing shes just went of it only time will tell but we'll get there. thanks lads for the replies

Hi bud,

 

I really like the look of these dogs. How are they(were they) on hare? are they fast enough?

 

I had a 3/4grey 1/4 collie and she was really fast. I now have a ped whippet that i love but do miss the collie brain.

Thanks for your comments minion when the dogs are in top shaped they are pretty fast big dog could run forever wee dog lighting fast but would burn out quicker than the big dog they have'nt seen much hare but i say they could do the deed there'd be no 70 yard faw law mind you, both dogs are very smart and good at reading there quarry, hopefully they get a few run's on the long ears this season will let you know how they fair out its hard to beat a bit of collie in a lurcher, hows your whippet fairing out for you??

Funny how people are. I have a mate who is mad for the dog that is the ditch wrecker, and leaping into cover to get the rabbit out, but is forever getting hurt, and I do agree there is more catches this way, but the wee dog I operate gets reasonable enough hauls without hitting the ditches and never got an injury in three seasons of lamping, or cover.

lucky enough lad the wee bitch has'nt sustained and injuries as of yet thank God but its just her style were as the big dog just lets them be and comes back to heel ready for the next slip, mind you i have to sort of watch were i slip her wont slip here any were near a ditch value her to much i've heard of dogs dying running into ditches would'nt forgive myself.

 

what dog you running yourself??

Hi bud,

 

she is only 9 months so i havent really had her out. I did take her lamping once but she didn't come back quick enough so i am working on recall on the lamp in the garden and park first. Im sure she will be good though.

 

My lurcher was alot less hyper and easier to train but the size of the whippet is really handy about the house with the kids. The lurcher used to take up the whole couch lol
