Thought I would add my favourite pic of his sister,Stonifleet Blue Savannah of Darkstars.

It shows how alike they are,great shame that pics will not show their terrific movement.

Lovely Whippets both of them!!!!

 

[aslan]

Ditto!

But how that lovely girl of yours gets to be called "BLOB" I'll never understand. She doesn't look anything like a blob! :*

 

[Janimal]

Really stunning dogs :wub: :thumbsup:

 

[Lydia]

Thank-you for the lovely comments everyone.

actually,i'm having a hard time typing-i've had an operation today and my right arm is bandaged,hurts like hell and is in a sling.so please excuse any errors.

i thought you would appreciate them malin,only when you have lived with black and blue whippy's do you appreciate how special they are.

anyway lana, if you had met blob as a puppy you would understand her name completely.you know what 8 wk old pups are like,round fat balls with little legs poking out (w00t) ,she was a lovely little blob.her pet name is bluebell,but i only call her bluebell if she is being naughty or being told off .

i was going to call her angel,but,on the telephone to her breeder,ladyharris,i mentioned about calling her angel,to which ladyharris laughed and replied that she was more of a hells-angel :lol: -she still is,but very lovable :wub: .

her bruv,is far more polite and refined ,a real gentleman.

Bluebell is very beautiful (and even better in the flesh) :wub: ........I loved your comment .........

only when you have lived with black and blue whippy's do you appreciate how special they are.

Now how true is that ?? .........but you forgot to mention that once you've owned a "proper" coloured Whippet, that it's very hard to be without a "proper" coloured Whippet ........Very VERY special little people :wub:

Join the club Lana. I've known her since she was a pup and have never understood the Blob name. She's a beauty not a blob.

Though there have been multi dimple times. :- "

Ah fawns. Yes, I agree, they are very, very special little people. I spend a large part of my life running around doing my fawns bidding. Life without a fawn whippet would be unthinkable. :thumbsup:

That aside Tarka and Blubell are stunners. :wub:

 

[Joanna]

Did some-one say fawn? Yes fawns are the only whippets for me..................And for some whippets fawns are very special.........I am of course referring to the love affair of the millenium......................NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not Charles and Camilla, Archie and Star

 

[Seraphina]

This is also Blubelle, she belongs to a friend. Isn't she gorgeous!

Lida

Although, the solid fawns are my first choice.

Lida is blubelle the bitch that doug is haveing trouble getting the full papers from the breeder :rant: looks like her

 

[*Lesley*]

Gorgeous all of them :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

[~elizabeth~]

Do people think that the various colours have distinct temperaments? The lady I know with the 2 Nimrodels says the fawn is a right little bully to the very sweet brindle one.

Hi Moriarte, yes,colour does affect temperment.It has also been proven scientifically.This came up recently, on a gerbil forum I belong to.The admin on that forum dug out some scientific papers for us to read (w00t) (how kind was that :- " hard going for lesser mortals :wacko: ) where in studies it was proven.

As for 2 nimrodels picking on a brindle,erm,brindles are definitely in the regions of only being honorary whippets in the broadest sense of the word :- " (w00t) :teehee: .

The colour is determined by handful of genes, which determin the distribution of pigment in the dog's hair. Are you suggesting that the same genes also affect the dog's temperament?

don't know if it is just the blue bitches i have come accross, but they all seem far more mischevous than any of the blacks or brindles i have.

I had phone calls for sometime afterwards, after letting one of my blue girls go to a lovely lady in france, asking for any english words that she might recognise that would have a calming effect on her

There are a few choice words that i use with mine but i didn't repeat them :b

All i could do was reasure her that this little british hooligan would eventually grow up into one of the best dogs she would ever own,

she has :wub:
