whippets at work

Nice pics.
I also grew up with whippets. My grandad had two and was a regular spectator at the Waterloo cup.
I take it this is now illegal?

coursing hares is now illegal.
Hunting rabbits with dogs which is whats happening here is perfectly legal

Brought back a few memories thanks, lovely looking dogs, clearly good workers, nothing quite like it, have won a few few quid at the 'Cup' over the years, more luck than judgement last cup was super with the winner actually taking the Hare of the final course. Not so keen to see the usual 'dag crowd' slip their saluki's on any that got away but it has to be said some can pick a dog that's for sure.
 
What cracking pics, my daughter has not long rescued a whippet x collie, would love to run him on bolted rabbits......he mustard at catching squirrels :D
 
Some cracking photos almost makes me want another whippet last one I had was over 20 years ago
 
I do think you might suffer from a small rodent infestation there....

I hope you have your dogs vaccinated for lepto/weils disease!
