Vera.
Thank you for your replies - the pup is 9 weeks old and is being sold by the family who bought it off the breeder, who lives close by to them. The family, with 4 kids, have decided that they cannot give it enough time. The breeder is on holiday at the moment (it is August, after all) so I...
Hi,
I not sure if it's "done" in breeding circles - but then I'm not a breeder BUT!
I have the chance of buying my first whippet, a KC pedigree male puppy "King **** Of Black"
(KC name)?
The seller says it has pedigree papers (5 generation) but how will I know if they are genuine? I have...
Thanks to you both -
seems strange, let a dog run uncontrolled in an open area and you can insure it. Let a dog run under safe controlled conditions and there seems to be a problem!
Q?
How do I get moderators to remove post?
Hi,
I was wondering whether owners of racing or coursing (or both) whippets have pet insurance for vet bills, loss/theft of whippet(s) etc?
As I am thinking about getting a pup to eventually race - I have been looking at various pet insurance sites. It is difficult to get a quote, because I...
Just to say - "same here!"
I enjoyed my first visit to whippet racing - thanks for the conversations and smiles.
First impressions are that you are a " happy" lot.
Also decided me on a smaller whippet - the 19-20lbs type or is that inch??
Bonus was - I got a suntan!!
See you again and...
Thanks FionaS - for reply. I was worried that another bitch might cause problems with acceptance, whereas, I have some vague memory of being told as a child that bitches accept dogs better than other bitches in a pack. Good to hear you had no problems, but my two are not neutered/spayed, so it...
Thanks Esty - it did occur to me the other day, watching the BT's racing around that there may be a problem - but your reply has laid that to rest (just a little bit!!). On thinking about it - the whippet pup may come to believe it's a terrier as well, but just a lot faster!
Both BT's are...
Hi,
I'm new here and thinking of getting a whippet pup sometime in the future as a pet and hobby racing it.
I have already got 2 Border Terriers heading for their 9th year - both litter sisters, therefore bitches.
After being the family pets for nearly 9 yrs, will they resent or accept a...
Hi,
I didn't start this thread, but I have lapped up the advice and experiences given.
It's preparing me for when I eventually get my first whippet pup.
My two terriers have always done the "whacky races" around the house - from room to room
stopping in the middle of the room, only to speed...
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the offer and the info. This is a really welcoming forum.
I used to go to Lancaster to St. Martin's College - off the M6 - through some little village - straight on down the road - turn right and I was there. I remember a nice restaurant, a nice pub and a castle lit up...
Hi,
Cracking pictures! Are you allowed to enter a kangaroo in whippet races? Looks like it in the above pic!! lol!
Really enjoyed the pics - I'm an expert at taking pics of my lens cap! :blink: Thanks again.
ppps: Sorry to use this in reply - still finding my way around - but someone "pm'd" me saying a whippet X bedlington could be considered. THANKS for that, but it popped up - I read it - then clicked off without a reply or getting the name - Apologies to that person! :unsure:
Thanks marielou - I'm in Preston, Lancashire - I have seen two clubs so far, one a pedigree only club and one a non-pedigree/pedigree club. Both are not too far in a car for me.
Thanks for your reply!
Thanks Kim/Badger, much appreciated for picking your brain!
I wouldn't want a "tall" dog around the size of a greyhound - too big around the house, hence the 20" idea. So whippet X whippet seems to make sense.
There is a cat that comes into the back garden, but she has evaded the Border's...
Thanks Hula - much appreciated.
A past neighbour, an old boy in his seventies had one a few years ago, a dainty little lady - he would be up at 3-4am and take her lamping or hunting - he had done it all his life . In all the time I lived there, I never saw a collar, let alone a lead on her...
Hi to everyone!
I have just joined - minutes ago, so this is my first post, so please be gentle!
I am thinking about getting a whippet, it will be my first one of this breed. At the moment I have two Border Terrier bitches, litter sisters. I got them at 9 weeks old and they are now heading...
