Gemma behaving herself...but not for long

Intoducing Gemma - who has been with us for two week. We have been told that she is pure whippet, around 6 months old, but didn't get on with the previous owners JRT. Of our 4 , hudson was off with her for around a week, which was expected, and is now starting to get used to her, Floyd our very...

You can buy a spray from a chemist ( for humans) which will stop bleeding but having checked with a phamacist I worked with it's fine for little whippets. I used it on cut on Hudson's leg and it worked well, not sure what it is called. Small nicks on ears really bleed badly.

There have been times when I have wondered if someone would call the RSPCA when we have walked FFloyd, a greyhound/whippet cross, who at his worst weighted less than 18 KG when he used to weigh 26, he was diagnosed with Central Diabetes Inspidus last year and since then has suffered...

Last time we went to Crufts, Philip Moran-Healy was there, and he was also talking about going to Australia, so no more Hillsdowns in my future or any little Marchpast either. Bob had Max's sister so I don't know whats happened to her. I would like to have another running fool whippet to keep...

Thanks - that would explain the austrailian Marchpast whippet

4 years ago we bought Max from Bob Belshaw, as he wasn't suitable for showing. We also have Hudson ( Hillsdown) who was bred by Moran-Healy. The Marchpast line was bred by Steve McMorrow, but there is nothing on the web for him, and when I looked on the whippet archive there doesn't seem to be...

When I phone Swiftcover they told me that greyhounds have now been added to the list of breed that insurance companies prefer not to insure....animal friends haven't even replied to me

I am trying to insure Cora an ex-racing greyhound and the first two companies I have tried have been a bit relucant to insure her. Can you recommend a company

Yes, Max is a Whippet ( posh name Marchpast Express at Pemberton) and we also have Hudson ( Hillsdown Hudson), Cora Ex-racing greyhound ( Distant Plains) and FFloyds, greyhound cross with many names all of them rude. We think he must have had this problem all of his life, as we have seen signs...

We gained Max three years ago, as his previous owner wanted a new home for him as he was unsuitable for showing, ( too friendly we were told) and he is very friendly. He was wanted as a companion for Hudson, who is a year older. He has had problems off and on over the years particularily with...

Last Thursday I went down with DH and looked at Kara ( it's a K not a C), and also three other bitches, Lizzie who has just been returned, she is two and a "bit mad", she was returned because she was upsetting the terrier of the family she joined, Willow, a very dark brindle, but whom seemed...

DH decides to visit one of the racing kennels in Malton where he has provisonally booked a 4 year old called Cora, a bitch. We have 2 whippets and a greyhound cross all males, but I am looking for some advice from owners of ex racing greyhounds. How easy have you found it to house train them...

Also Hudson - when he was a puppy

Trying to see if I can post a picture here of Max - no didn't work

If I knew how to post photos!!

Rosie is with us, sitting on our bed. She is still very stressed but we are seeing promising signs.

We tried ignoring him but he stratches the door, and gets quite persistant....but at other times he seems to be able to got for quite a long time. I'm going to try the vet in case their is a medical issue, then chance the puddle by ignoring him if there is nothing medically wrong, thanks for the...
