Guest jbswildlife Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 what would you say was better? both equel in my eyes. bolt rabbits into a net or bolt rabbits for a chase. if you bolt ten rabbits towards the warren the net will catch 99% whilst the dog will only get one with the rabbit he chases 60/40 in favour of the rabbit. but a lot more ground can be covered with a whippet.

woodard 32 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 long netting would be best Quote Link to post
JPTfellterrier 65 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 hmmm the net may also be the cheaper option, although i do like whippets, decisions, decisions Quote Link to post
