Had a little whippet 17 inches at the shoulder which killed 13 adult rabbits daytime in about an hour. Does that count??  She killed a few young uns too but I'm  not counting those. To be fair it was on heather which  favoured the dog, but it was a great hours sport.

That's called a good Dog mate ? well Done ?

another time phill lloyd came up we had 90 odd bolting to the dogs...again i had bonnie phil had angel i believe ..vin had his two..

another day me vin and trigger ...trigger used nets...but me and vin bolted to the dog got 98 i think...trigger had his ten year old nephew with him on his first big day ferreting....what a great day for the young fella to witness.. 

then a week after this we got 101...or 102 i forget ....me vin and trigger same M.O as week before...

i got 67 ferreting on my own one day ...using nets...mainly stop nets...although vin and the keeper came over on the last warren to help...i think vin had 24 as well that day just bolting to his dogs on the other side of the field...
