Frank Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Took my whippet pup for some company ferreting, nothing hectic, just a few bolts for her. She performed really well, mouthing the bolted rabbits in the nets and even marking a hole, after cottoning on to what it was about. She carried the bunnys around as proud as punch after and retrieved them when i asked her. 1 managed to slip the net, she was on its tail, but after only a 20 odd yd course, it made it into a stone wall, where she tryd to dig it out. Not to worry, a learning curve. She now knows, what her mouth is for. Got 4, gave farmer 1, as he wanted rabbit for his tea and mentioned something about a stir fry and lotsa Guiness. Frank.

Frank Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thanks very much folks. conor, i got my collar from here below: http://www.field-sports.co.uk/ Just go into dog equipment and then leads and collars, you will see whippet collars and greyhound collars in different sizes aswell. Id say you might need a greyhound collar for you big fella? I highly recomend them, very strong and id say will last a good while. Frank.
