you need a chill pill TMC I wasnt knocking you lol all I was trying to point out is stamina was something that no one will agree on or could agree on, and it doesnt matter what dog you used non of the dogs there ran for more than 22 secs and all were blowing hard,these dogs in that condition...

can the mods tell me why in a working section we are not allowed to talk about lamping and catching rabbits? Do you think it may be better to drop the word working if we are not allowed to talk about what the whippet was originally bred for?

crikey not one response I take it most of you think its ok then?

whats peoples opinions on them? should they be used as a training aid for whippets or not? Personally I think they should be banned, most people who use them tend to have small person syndrome and this normally leads to needing to feel power over something, and are failures as dog trainers ...

its different to using a young male say because all the stress and change that a young bitches body has to go through before shes mature even isnt imo worth the risk, its fraught enough and taxing enough on a strong mature bitch, and personally I think whippet bitches are still acting immature...

shes not mine, theres no way I would do that, this bitch has had 7 puppies born I am just a bit gobsmacked by it that someone would do it
