I understand! I registered with the dogs names but there are not many people with two whippets named after country stars so if anyone I knew was on here they would know its me! It makes sense not to use your name but at the same time its a shame that by having an opinion on something could...

I'd like something like that too! though I must admit I do also find the breed specific threads helpful (I have whippets, have had lurchers and now have an akita too) I get loads of whippet and lurcher infor here but to get anything specific to Akita I have to go elsewhere. It's not essential...

Great! Where about are you? I am in East Lothian just outside Edinburgh? I actually found a member on here who lives near me and has one of my wee boy's sisters! I tried to contact him but he hasn't been active since 2014 which is a shame!!

JoanneF I am smiling to myself because everytime I mention my whippets on here I always go to type "wee Cash, Wee Dolly, my wee whippets...." and then I go back and replace wee with "little" as I forget this isn't a Scottish forum! So seeing "a wee bit lightweight" made me smile!

What's the best all round dog magazine to buy? I love to read and have a quick glance through in the shops but would rather go on recommendations!

Thanks Guys As it so happens I have been adding meat (my whippets eat a lot of RAW though not 100% on it) to the akita's food. She isn't keen on most of it but will have some tripe and sardines. I have also been introducing Acana and are going to stick with this (and keep encouraging the...

Heehee!!! The shaking is brilliant! I need to try that with my little whippets who love to get in from a walk and shake all over my pale grey carpet and walls!!!!!

I was looking for a companion whippet for my boy last year and I wanted to rehome rather than get a pup. I contacted the breeders and the whippet club secretary for my area and explained the situation and was put in touch with a few possibilities. There were 2 breeders who had dogs they wanted...

My little whippet boy used to have awful flatulence!! It was horrendous! I started introducing raw meat, fish, eggs etc and now he mainly eats fresh foods or raw (with a very small amount of "dog food") and he has never been better! his wind problems have vanished and his condition has...

Aw! I love reading these! My dogs don't really have tricks as such. they know their commands sit, come etc ( though they simply cannot get their heads around not jumping up!!!) but no special tricks! Other than cuteness!!!....does that count?

I agree there can be a lot of bitching on some other forums and while I respect opinions its unfair when people push it on you and presume their way is always best! Its always nice and helpful and friendly here!!

Apparently it's very common in blue whippets (he is blue) something to do with the skin pigment! Learn something new everyday

I too find that there is a lot of inactivity. It's such a shame as could be a great source of help and information

Thanks for your reply Gypseysmum. I done a lot of reading yesterday and it just got me curious as to what everyone's views and opinions are from, straight real dog owners as opposed to just reading studies etc online. I believe each to their own on things and would never preach or judge I am...

Recently I have been reading a lot online about the Vaccine argument - should you do it yearly, 3 yearly, not at all and just wondered everyone's views? Just a curiosity thing more than anything as the "no vaccine" seems to be on the rise??/

Maybe just wishful thinking on my part! My other half said I don't need an IG now if she is mixed with one so maybe better that she isn't! haha Love her regardless!

I have had many sighthounds for many years and I can categorically say I have always found sighthounds are drawn towards other sighthounds. I have been lucky in that most of my dogs have been friendly but the lurchers and whippets would always want to say hello and play with other lurchers and...

Hi all I recently adopted a second whippet to keep my first one company. I have all the papers for Cash and know he is a pedigree but Dolly was rescued and I don't have much background on her other than she is a whippet really! We noticed straight away that she is smaller than Cash and has a...

Hi! Thanks for the reply! Regarding the cat it was really just time. I literally would bring the cat into the house with the dog on the lead and let her sniff etc but still have her under my control. I think it helps that my cat has always lived with dogs (lurchers, whippets etc) so isn't...

Many Thanks! I appreciate your help! yes excuseme is very knowledgeable has been great in my previous posts regarding the raw feeding! I am just outside Edinburgh so Fife isn't very convenient to me, but I could look into delivery! Thanks a lot!
