I wondered this too..I have seen whippets that vary greatly in size. I know the females are generally smaller than the males. Is the smallest whippet you can get 17 inches to the shoulder?

also is there any difference in temperment between dog and bitch in this breed she has one male and female at the moment and was thinking of getting a female but is worried that two females wont get on. I have checked the faq section and cant find anu info on owning a greyhound. Am I missing...

My sister is looking for another dog and is considering a greyhound. She has one small dog (yorkie) one medium size and three cats. She loves the look of greyhounds and has heard they make great pets. Can anybody here post their experience of owning a greyhound. Are they easy to train? I know...

Its really interesting to see how different people have dealt with this problem. I guess all dogs are different and we shouldnt expect too much from them when they are only babies. :wub:

Did you ever leave your pup alone in a different room in the house? did he sleep with you? In hindsight I do think I was expecting too much of him. I was so concerened with following 'the rules' of raising a pup. If I was to do it again I would probably do it differently. I think generally no...

Just wondered what you all have experienced in regards to seperation anxiety. I have read books that say you should get your pup used to being alone from a young age. I tried this with my dog as a pup in little steps like leaving him in the morning while I go to the bathroom for a shower, then...

:( I know, I guess I will just have to be content with continuing to look at all the lovely photos of your dogs :))

So I guess the general opinion is if you own one dog or more and work full time you should hire a dog walker to take them out every day. Do you keep your dogs in the house or the garden while you are gone? If you have two dogs do the walkers charge for each dog if they are being walked together...

I just wondered how many people on this board only have one dog? Do any of you work full time? Do any of you use dog walkers regularly? Perhaps you take your dog to work with you? I would be interested to hear your opinions on owning one dog when you work full time. Is it acceptable or do you...

Thankyou for your replies, all advice is greatly appreciated :sweating:

I have two of everything for them its more of a dominance issue, one trying to assert his authority over the other. They are now both lying beside each other chewing their own bones happily. They both know I am alpha but they are challenging each other and im not sure which one is the bottom of...

I have a 5 month old male lab x and I am looking after a 12 month old female lurcher. I am staying in the lurchers owners house with the two dogs for two weeks and I need advice. They have met each other before on various occasions. They play very roughly he is quite a strong character and she...

I have tried squirting him with water when he is near the cat but the cat got wet too :oops: and now the cat is afraid of the water pistol :wacko:

Oh also has anyone any advise on how to stop him chasing my cat? He really wants to play with her and bounces around in front of her, she has given him numerous swipes on the nose but it does not seem to put him off, he is a very confident little thing and when they are in the garden he runs for...

Well its still all good, now at night I just say 'time for bed' and I throw a few treats in his cage. He runs in, I close the cage door get into bed, turn off the light and thats him for the night, not a peep out of him. He also keeps his cage clean all night. He has also stopped barking in the...

My heart goes out to you, its devastating when you lose a much loved canine companion :huggles:

Oh thank you I was so worried about him and to be honest I am at my wits end listening to all the barking and whining :( The easy option would be to just give in to him. But guess what last night we had a breakthrough!! I put him in his crate with his teddy and hot water bottle and i got into...

Oops perhaps I should have put this in the faqs section, I really could do with some good advice im so worried im doing something wrong :(

:wacko: Im new to this and looking for advice, I have had my 10 wk old pup for 6 nights now and his constant barking is driving me crazy, Whenever I leave him in the room on his own or close the door of his crate he barks constantly, sometimes for as long as 20 mins. I only go to him and let...
