Just my opinion, of course. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

I haven’t seen Mally for years, but we spent a lot of time in each other’s company hunting, shooting, ferreting, lamping, coursing, we had some great times. I was impressed with Vixen as an all rounder and she threw some good pups. Cheers. Quote Link to post

fred90 3,210 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I always fancied a whippet but stuck with small lurchers for years, was told non ped are faster but peds are better nose, stamina, hunting wise, bit the bullet 2 years ago and having some cracking sport with this little bitch.

jukel123 7,993 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I lost two elderly Sooty Sam bitches at the start of the year. Together they could do whatever a big lurcher could do. One in particular could catch in dense woodland, she had a brilliant nose and could hold on. Me and the Mrs decided we wouldn't get another dog and would travel . But we ended up not travelling and sitting on our arses instead. We had a discussion about a new running dog. I persuaded her a laid back deer/ grey would be just the ticket. But she had another 'executive' think and bought a pedigree whippet from racing stock. She who must be obeyed, also decided it can live in the house and take liberties none of our previous dogs did. When we got married over 50 years ago, I was the boss man. I bought pups whenever I fancied and they were kenneled ..F**k all to do with her. Now I'm her obedient slave picking up her pup's turds and mopping up its pee ffs. Oh how the mighty has fallen. Oh well the whippet will keep me out of trouble.lol Edited September 10, 2023 by jukel123 4 5 1 Quote Link to post

I had a 17tts whippet bitch from racing stock 30 odd years ago. She was the best rabbiting dog I ever had. I remember a day on the moors I had with her when she killed 13 adult daylight rabbits and countless young uns. Edited September 10, 2023 by jukel123 2 Quote Link to post
