Mallyfields Vixen, double Sooty Sam bred ;

The best working pedigree whippet I’ve seen.

Cheers.

 

I remember that bitch. He used to post on here. Caught big numbers.

I remember he had a litter out of her and he wanted a clause in the pup's sale stating that nobody was allowed to breed from them.

I don’t remember any clause. Mally was a great pal of mine and we spent a lot of time hunting up here and down his place

Im sure vixen only had one litter, a couple went abroad and I’ve met the lads who got the others and judged them at whippet shows . There was a gamekeeper got a very nice brindle bitch which he was very pleased with.

Mally’s pal, Paul Sagar , wanted to place a saluki pup with me but he wanted to many clauses, including what it was mated with and when, what comps it was entered into, what matches it would have, etc.

I politely declined and told him he wanted a dog sitter and if I took a dog on it would be my decision what I did with it.

Cheers.

Yes he definitely wanted a no breeding clause with the pups. Put me off. I had no intention of breeding but I think it's unreasonable to go down that route with pups.

Do you think working whippets have an advantage over coursing bred or non peds?

Contrary to how I wind up my pal mC , by and large, in my opinion , a coursing bred will beat a pedigree working whippet on daytime hares.

A pedigree whippet will never match a non-ped for out and out speed in racing, but, again, just my opinion, will have more stamina for, say, a nights lamping rabbits.

Horses for courses, I like them all and may just get another whippet, ped or non-ped, whatever takes my fancy, before I give up the game.

Cheers.

Didn’t think so, iv saw a few an a couple them blew up after a couple a runs haha

The bitch I had out of SS had good stamina. But not that good. One night I took her lamping up on permission I had in Northumbria. It was bitterly cold night with a vicious wind. There were rabbits everywhere and she caught maybe 20 odd. Suddenly,  midway through a chase, she collapsed. My stupid fault, I hadn't taken account of the freezing temperature and vicious wind and  had just overworked her without rests between rabbits. When I got her home she had returned to normal.

Whippets ain't lurchers with a jacket and a bigger heart.

I've beat myself up about that incident. But It wasnt as though she gave me any warning. She just wanted to be in amongst them as usual  .  Anyway all well that ended well.

I’ve got a big strong non ped whippet. Blue dog stands at 22” and built like an outhouse, been an excellent working dog for me although he is way to keen on deer for my liking. Despite his size he has caught several fallow but also takes a fearful kicking at times but doesn’t seem to put him off. I would have another but would be very careful about the dog as would want another big string one which aren’t so easy to find.

I run the back off a collie cross years back, summat I’m not proud of but truth is I didn’t even know what it was, i had been going to vets all the time an never looked into anything myself but internet was becoming big at time, took me months to get him right an then he went as a pet. We live, we learn

There’s plenty of big non-peds about, Bob.

The BWRA now has a 55lb limit, something I strongly disagreed with and got me banned from the whippet forum ! LOL !

Theres some tremendously fast non-ped scratch dogs , some around 25” and 50 odd pound.

Cheers.
