WOW! 23! That's quite incredible for a dog, isn't it? Shouldn't he be in the Guinness Book of Records?!

Hello Kirsty, You might want to check out this thread that I started a while back asking many of the same questions as you, as I'm considering getting a Whippet pup soon too.  Funnily enough I quite like the blues too, but my favourites in terms of looks are the black and white or blue and...

Eek! Meant to delete this post because I replaced it with another one by accident instead of editing. Anyway ignore this! :b

Aargh! We all now WHY it happened. Some idiots who didn't know any better decided to beat an animal to death because of some misplaced notion of 'revenge'. The only thing that anyone here has taken exception to is the assertion that people should not object to such an act simply because...
