Is One Whippet Enough ?
IMO it's great to have two (or thre.. or.. :b ) but I'd certainly wait a bit first! The pups are great fun, but also quite a bit of work. To me it's important to have the time to properly train, socialise and bond with one dog before adding another youngster. I believe a dog should ideally be... -

Cryptorchid
The good thing with identifying the gene and finding carriers and those that are free is that you can still USE the carriers for breeding - you just have to mate them to someone that's not a carrier. And yes - I agree that a puppy buyer should know about this problem and what to do. My breeder... -

Dandruff!
I happens to all dogs - more or less. But it's more visible on short-haired breeds, and especially the darker colours. It's caused by stress. The reason is that stress causes increased bloodflow - this cause slightly more "tense" skin(more blood rushing through in the veins) - and any loose or...
