Hi Everyone,

I'm fairly new to the forum and came on here to find out some more about whippets and get some advice....well I recently took the plunge and got my first whippet. (w00t) His name is Busta and he is 10 months old. He is the litter brother to Pearl who I've seen pics of on here before. Thanks to Terry and Denise for letting Busta come to live with me. :) He has settled in extremely well and is everything I could possible have wished for. He's playful and fun but his recall is fantastic! I couldn't be happier with him and I'm so glad I chose a whippet. Just one problem....I need to find him a friend. I was supposed to be homing a lurcher but that didn't work out so now I have to try to find Busta a suitable playmate. I have a funny feeling the 'one whippet is never enough' thing may prove true! :D I took him up to meet my racing greyhounds at the weekend and he had so much fun with them. It was really funny to see how well he interacted with them in spite of the size difference :) He was really confident and they all got on brilliantly. I suggested retiring one of the greyhounds to be his friend but my trainer is having none of it! :D

Thanks Tracey, it was really disappointing about Boo as I was really looking forward to having her but it just wasn't the right thing for her and I had to do what was best for her. I hope she finds someone suitable soon.

He looks great

Congratulations on taking the plunge

Its true though 1 will never be enough!!!!! :- "
 
Busta is a very handsome boy :wub: look forward to seeing lots of pics and hopefully see no 2 whippet soon :- "
 
Busta is :wub: Good luck in finding him a companion :luck:
 
He looks gorgeous.

Cant wait till we get our first whippet soon!

How does Busta behave in the woods? Considering comments I've read I've wondered if they're off like a shot in the woods, never to return, endlessly chasing anything that moves squirrel or not! :p

Lol. I must have a very unusual whippet then because he's great in the woods he runs around sniffing and frolicking in the leaves but always within a reasonable ditance from us and as soon as he's called he comes rushing back! He hasn't chased anything yet and is friendly when other dogs come running over. The only thing he wasn't too keen on the other day was when someone launched a kite quite near to him and he started growling and barking and then running back to me like I should do something about it :D

Good look in getting your first whippet. I'm gutted that I waited so long before getting one as I've missed out on years of whippety fun! :)
