Whippet learning the ropes

[Luckee legs 471]

Our year old whippet is learning the ferreting game. Wet and clay soil made it a challenge today, operating solo I could have done without a deep dig in the hedge. I blame myself for too much shouting at the whippet to stop being an arsehat . Still, ferrets and collie X did their thing so we had a good morning

I think it's a bit of a fun game for young whippets but once they mature they never look back. Same with most sighthounds I think.

Reassuring, everything about him is incredible, speed, stamina and commitment. But...it's shown me even when you think you've seen a lot there's more to learn, in comparison to collie type lurchers, his focus on the job is like a mayfly. The penny will drop, (without distraction he's very obedient) but until then there's going to be a lot more swearing you'll probably hear in Oz

Don't worry or be too hard on the whippets, they are dickheads when young. I just ignore the BS and praise the good stuff. They are great little dogs and love to please you. He looks a good type and I'm sure he will do you proud mate .
