whippets in workig condition,

[steve66 3,471]

Very nice mally , what lines is she ?

Hi Steve i bred the bitch myself out of my line bred sooty sam bitch back to a dog that i liked the look of even though he was from showlines. Alot of folk doubted my judgement in choosing a show dog but it's paid off for me as the mating has produced some cracking well put together pups that are doing the buisiness out in the field where it matters.

 

Her Dam is Lucky Girl of Mallyfield (Quick as lightning x Fastfly) (fastfly = Sooty Sam x Oakbark Miss Lilly) (Quick as Lightning= Sooty Sam x Fast Fly)

 

Her Sire is Scarletfair one Knight (CH Fullerton Dream Mover x pipijay starlight of scarletfair) Show lines

 

I'm more than happy with the bitch, she's out 2-3 times a week lamping and a couple of days a week ferreting. A friend was down for a week a few weeks ago and we were out lamping 3 nights on the trot as well as ferreting, she takes work in her stride and as long as she gets good quality grub she doesn't lose condition...

Hi there

 

I dont have any experience with Whippets but i do of working my dogs at differing weights .

 

A dog stripped down shall run/turn alot faster but can only keep it up for short bursts quite simply because they dont have any reserves.

I have quite watched dogs literally work weight off in a hard day out.

 

If i wanted a dog to work hard over a longer period i wouldnt expect it to do so if stripped .

 

It is horses for courses ,so to speak lol

nice 1 mate, was just trying to get a point across to a very stubborn opinionated obsanate(but lovely) friend of mine without falling out over it, they recon there whippet can do a full nights lamping in raceing condition,, think its time to lay down a little challenge the whippet to my overweight collie lurcher and see who takes the most, hounds for grounds i think was the term you were looking for,
