Out this morning, got three. No action shots. Zola is Nelson's Auntie.

It's getting out that counts and every rabbit run is experience. Your lucky to have some numbers to go at as I'm finding them thin on the ground where I go.

Masta, looks like we'll all be in the same weight group! Good to see your pups coming on well. Gary, Murphy looks good and happy. Nelson is 44cm and 8 kg. What will his final weight and height be?

Spend a couple of hours a day chasing rabbits and feed a high protein diet.

It's like I printed, plenty of opinions and assumptions and no facts!! Planet Realism.....

It would appear to me that a lot of opinions are expressed on here and very little in the way of factual details gets published. If the number of injuries sustained at a meeting is a concern, why not carry out a scientific study? This study could collate data on a number of factors (ground...
