Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 looks good paul in top nick good luck with him . thanks, I was amazed to find out that he has not been off the lead for 9 months so am suprised at his solid composition.... I can imagine that when he was in racing form he would have been spectacular to look at. Im slowly going to work on his fitness, and have him on the tred mill tomorrow night at the brother in laws gym, whilst I throw a few weights about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kreet 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 all the greyhounds i and mates have owned didnt take to ferrets they have only ever been taught to chase small things a hare on a track could be blue white red a furry toy a bag just about anything so to be fair they will almost always be no use with a ferret unless kept on a leash and slipped on bolters in my opinion also most of them will nail a cat if givemn the chance i always mind when i was about 5 walking the dogs with my grandad and he had 2 big brindle dogs at the time and my grans cat always hist at them as she new they were on the leash and couldnt get her and that day she was on the edge of the wall my grandad didnt have barny on a tight leash and as she went to show at him he just lifted her of the wall one shake and threw her up in the air stone dead i thought it was hilariouse not being a cat lover n all but ma gran had a hairy canary to say the least .
