Hi, I've just rejoined after a long absence, I don't usually post, but this one I couldn't ignore. (I am not a vet, breeder etc, just a whippy owner) The bitch you saw may have piled on the pounds after spaying, and eating too much with too little exercise, it's probably a correct assumption...

(w00t) This is my old wonderful girl whippet Sasha. Her photo has found it's way to a Greyound Adoption Site in Australia, my sister posted a stack of photos of her new adopted Greyhound, as well as some of Sasha. Sasha is getting a lot of positive comments...they didn't work out she's a...

Hello, I've got the same decision to make with my 6 month old. His situation seems a bit complex because sometimes his are down and sometimes not....usually if he's being very naughty they are visiting, like five minutes ago when he I first tried to post. :teehee: The links posted on...

Noki is around 5 1/2 months. I've noticed that his toys have some blood on them. His gums are not inflamed but around the base of 4 teeth are slightly bloody. It's not bothering him, and he's eating OK. Is this just normal teething, or has he overstressed the little teeth by excessive...

Congratulations Archie is gourgeous, looks a bit like my "Devil", Noki, but with a wider blaise. Nice to see his new family is keeping him in line very nicely. Michelle

:( Another day, another trip to the vet- no stitches this time. All that happened this time was the older was picking up a discarded chew, and a flying junior whippy with teeth found a neck...........

Some more background. The pup has been with us for 6 weeks tomorrow. We picked him because he was the quietest of the litter, and some people had thought our older girl had dominance issues. Having said that, she has not had a problem with any visiting dogs, goes to a kennel that have group...

I've just got back from the vet with Sasha my 12 year old whippy girl who has 4 new stitches, courtesy of our 4 1/2 month old boy whippy. It was definately not play as he has lost a tooth in the scuffle. Play has been getting rougher, and unfortunately at 12 years, Sasha won't fight back...

Good luck Andrea, Our Sasha went missing years ago but turned up safe and well a week later with sore feet. Our problem was the people who found her and the vet they took her to didn't know what a whippet was, so take her photo around. Michelle

Our 12 year old girl mounts our 4 month old boy, and it's a dominance thing. It's definately worse if he's getting too much attention, and seems to happen reliably after he's done his mad whippet dance around the yard of an afternoon : she can't run that fast anymore, and therefore she needs to...

Noki's pee doesn't smell strongly, but peeing every hour seems his average during the day. the local vet said around every 2 hours was expected, so hourly might be normal...overnight we seem to get 2 pees, and one number 2. I'm trying to work out the timing so I can let him out in time. This...

Hello again, After sleepless nights with our new Noki, we have settled into a beautiful routine of quiet nights but waking up to pee all over the house. (we have teracotta tiles in the house, so it is cleanable) Noki is 13.5 weeks and has both testes undescended, he goes dutifully in the yard...

It is so good to have people who have been where I am, and have made it through. I do think eventually our old girl will let Noki sleep in her space, but I tried getting them to share space out of desperation last night and, well he's a boy, she's a girl, and he made the wrong move at the wrong...

sorry, I hit submit again by accident....how do I delete it?

Noki is 12 weeks and he's had 2 nights with us, and he has howled and whined and not slept.......I know because we haven't slept. The first night I got up once and checked on him 1/2 way through. Last night I got up a couple of times, he's distressed, and soiled and wet the floor. He sleeps...

Does anyone know if lavender flowers OK? I know they are supposed to be edible for people. Also Zuchini leaves (courgettes), my adult eats the leaves like a salad, but I was worried about the pup. Michelle

Oh my goodness, how does he make that sound??? he's screeching, I think the devil has taken over his soul.....home 2 hours...oh dear!!!!

I hope the little florists are feeling better soon. When I was in high school a friend and I picked some Jonquils (Daffodil Erlicheer) and inadvertantly put them on a classroom gas heater......the whole class was sick, a bit wobbly headed, but we all survived! Meanwhile, I might do a bit of...

After an eternity of searching, we met Noki today. Noki chose Declan (aged 6) as his new soul mate, and we agreed. (even though he is, well vaguely human) I was extremely mindful of the advice more experienced whippeteers offered, and we chose the pup that might not be the prettiest, but who...
