For when I’m ready to get my bitch lined,would like something from sooty Sam lines? Something that’s fire on rabbits Anything with sooty Sam bloodlines and strike while irons hot preferably Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,083 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Would be nice to see some of mike browns stuff still about? Im sure plenty will knock him. But I had pick of the litter from him ten years ago and that whippet (who a few saw on here) was an absolute machine. 3 Quote Link to post
Night Walker 591 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Alway will have a soft spot for that blood, would have like to see one over a good greyhound Quote Link to post
Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 In my humble opinion I wouldn’t get caught up on names, I have seen a couple of dogs with sooty Sam blood and they were utter rubbish I am afraid, doesn’t mean he was or all his offspring are just means blood doesn’t guarantee a good dog. Proven working dog doing the job is what you need whether it has famous blood or not, most of these “famous” dogs are a bit of a myth anyway. 4 Quote Link to post

Your right mate I've owned 5 of mikes stuff and all have been shit but a lot say they are good so I must of been unlucky. As most know a show bred whippet as been the best for me for rabbits.

One of my dogs was show bred, from very good show lines, but by Christ you’d be hard pushed to find a hardier keen working whippet. Some whippets these days seem a bit too lanky. 1 Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,083 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Funny I hear that a lot. you couldnt have asked for a better whippet than mine, built like a tank, quick, hunted like a hound, and took all manner of quarry on all types of ground. 2 Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,426 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'd say there's a difference between one off Mike and one with one of his dogs several generations back in its breeding but they threw his name in the advert though Sheepchaser. Quote Link to post

The whippets I owned Mike bred them. From what whippets I've seen the Mike's bred stuff put to a race course or show line whippet are better than a straight Mike Brown stuff.

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I've only seen(walked out with) two black males off that line... Both were incredibly wired,..they caught rabbits that I doubted could be taken,...in truth, it was frightening to watch Personally, I could not live with such intensity from a rabbiting dog,..but I can see why some folks, find them entertaining. My own, home-bred cur bitch, has a wee bit of the aforementioned blood in her breeding,..albeit, watered down somewhat... She is still, plenty hot enough for me though... http://www.chalkwarren.co.uk/ 7 Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,083 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Sums the one I had up well Phil. He was also black. Also thought he could tackle anything from mice to fallow. 3 1 1 Quote Link to post
