Jess is old Tia's new friend. A whippet terrier cross.
She needed a good home.

She has no idea about hunting and does not like guns lol

She looks like she has got a good turn of speed, maybe more rabbit dinners with a little bit of coaching!

I will be glad if she just tags along and joins in a little.
She barks when a stranger is about so that is good.

Greetings
What a fine looking friend to have along for a walk in the open air. We have always been blessed with a good dog that showed up at the right time looking for a family to lay claim on.
That is some fine photography also !

Nath, My Dad always said a dog is the only love money can buy. Glad you found each other.
I used to take a sack of live pigeons and throw them in front of my pups while they were out happy timing. Once they started the chase after the bird and were a distance away I would fire a shotgun primer only, at the start and work my way up. Never had one that didn't love the gun after they put it together birds and fun.

If she were over here we'd call her Hillary since she has no idea about hunting and doesn't like guns!!!!!

Nice dog!! Always a good friend! Enjoy!

That and she's ... well... a female canine... just like Hitlery.

Cute cross. Would have never thought of a Whippet/Terrier.

Excellent Nath. I like whisker dogs. Hope she works out for you.

Nath......that is a nice single, break ( hinge ) action shotgun and at first glance I thought you had an old Savage (Model 220). I quickly realized your shotgun is similar, but has a few different lines than my old Savage does. As the others have mentioned....a fine picture and a nice companion too !

It is a Russian Baikal, model 18 I think.

Congrats on the new pup.

I'd be surprised if the dog didn't have some kind of hunting instinct. Will she chase if you kick up a rabbit for her? Terriers and whippets were never bred to be gun dogs, they were bred to do the dirty work all by themselves.

She has been brought up in a cage all her puppy days!

That's sad, glad she has found a good home
