You had a really good day by the looks, nice when they retrieve to hand too! Lovely looking whippet, never tried with a lure....yet.

At least with these frosts the nettles are starting to die off a bit, easier to get to the warrens.

Very pretty whippet there!

Shame about all the dead rabbits! Remember, this is a family forum & children will also look at this thread, who may well be upset at seeing these sort of pictures.
