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?

Looking good Masta. Here's Nelson about two weeks ago.

It's great fun lamping. :cheers:

The sooner the better, especially the greyhound as it needs to learn that speed can kill! Good luck with them.

I'll rephrase the question; What attributes should a stud dog have before being used to breed? Should a stud be more important than the bitch?

What makes a good stud?

Not stirring or bullying, just typing what I think. I just happen to think that it is a nonsense to be "offended" by pictures of dead rabbits or them being pursued. Particularly when human misery and death is on the news 24 hours a day. Do these sensitive souls avoid the butchers counters or...

Rae, go onto an agricultural website amd read up on rabbit damage. DEFRA is a good place to start. This thread was moved because some members felt that dead bunnies weren't suitable for "general viewing"!! Hogwash that isn't conducive for hunters to put forward their views......sorry I forgot...

What nonsense. There are moving pictures on TV at the moment of real human corpses floating around in New Orleans!!! Get a grip all those namby pamby nincompoops that are offended by pictures of dead rabbits.............stroll on :blink:

So all the qualities are from Paul's stud dog? What about the other half of the breeding? I don't mean to sound snidey, but some posters on this site seem hell-bent on bulling up certain lines of whippets. Whippets that have no creditable records in anything but producing more pups. Nice...

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...

Scott, I wouldn't run mine on glass... a bed of nails maybe,,,but not glass!! :p BJ, thank you for your tolerant reply. I also have the welfare of my dogs at heart as well and I appear to be outnumbered as to what constitutes as an 'acceptable risk'. The danger in my view of zealously reducing...

perhaps you have never been informed but our dogs are pets 1st, racers 2nd, so therefore their wellbeing is our 1st concern. A classic statement which the broadcaster probably thinks should entitle them to gain the moral high ground. However, my bitch atttibutes are as a pet, ferreting...

So what constitutes experience? Owning racers or observing them? Just for the record I have worked in horse racing for ten years which involved getting them fit and race riding. Transferable skills I believe (although I have yet to put a saddle on Zola, nor do I intend to!) are good enough for...

A year already!!

Yawn.......Strike. So an opinion is only relevant when the correct number of whipps have been owned, bred, raced, coursed or hunted? If so how many does one have to have had? Working dogs are slower? A fantastic statement, perhaps you would care to elaborate on how you have come to this conclusion.
