Devonlady - Just a word of advice from someone who has suffered troubles.
Don't admit to breaking the hunting ban on an open forum.
I have lurchers, a whippet, terriers and hound. We are a fox free zone. Used to do a hell of a lot of fox control, but now to admit that the dogs killed charlie is to invite a knock on the door and all of your dogs being pts be the rspca muppets.
But well done whippets
