Seen It All Now

[Hula]

Well done both of you for getting her out of there . :thumbsup:

Her future is looking a lot brighter now )

 

[Trish]

Right ....... Scruples Whippet Rescue is now in operation!!!!
She is being picked up on Sunday by Trish Gilfeather and we are hoping to arrange for someone to bring her downwards from the Lancashire area on Sunday, please

It would be great if transport from the Lancs to Birmingham area could be covered by someone and then, if anyone lives around the Birmingham area and could do a run down to Bristol where I can meet them, that would be wonderful!!!

I have never whelped a dog before ........ done cats and horses, but never dogs ......... so all help and advice will be gratefully received. I know I can call on Dawn and Tish for all their experience so I am not alone :thumbsup:

I shall be preparing the nursery over the next couple of weeks and will take her for a vet check as soon as she arrives here

getting her tomorrow jane ,just hope my girls behave with her and that she likes cats otherwise bedlam :lol:

Well done both of you, what a fantastic outcome this will be.

Just a thought BUT it might be worth asking whilst you are there if he owns dad or you are able to see him. It just crossed my mind that maybe the mating wasn't planned & he found out that she is in whelp & if she is only a small girl & has been mated by a really large greyhound x, he is worried that there will be problems with her whelping which is why he wants shot beforehand?

This may not be the case at all & as i say it was only a thought but wouldn't be any harm in seeing the dad if he is available so at least you can be prepared for any possible problems.

Best of luck, keep us all informed. :luck: :luck: :luck:

thats what i thought about the mating nina but he said the bitch is 22in and the male was about 23in grey/whippet ,but will see whats what tomorrow .

Well that shouldn't be a problem then, thank goodness. Must say tho 22" is a large bitch if she is pure whippet?

If she is not due till the end of the month at least you will have time to build her up & make sure she gets some good food, before she whelps. :luck:

You are an absolute angel Jane. I could help with transport on Saturday but unfortunately am no around on Sunday.

If you need any whelping advice at all, then feel free to ring Jo or myself at any time and we will do our best to help you. Must admit I am the assistant and Jo chief midwife! :thumbsup:

I have wondered the same thing, Nina, but she is working bred so it's possible that she is pure bred altho' she doesn't have papers.

Not to worry, tho'. She deserves a kind, safe and loving home where she can whelp in security and peace - hopefully I can give her that and then find forever homes for her and her pups when the time comes :thumbsup:

I'm sure you can & i think it's a wonderful thing you are doing.

If you need any help financially (i know how costly litters are to raise) i'm sure many people, including myself would be happy to send a contribution towards this girl & her pups upkeep :thumbsup:

[Sarah86]

Well done to you both for helping this girl :huggles:

 

[June Jonigk]

Just a thought - is there anyone coming down to the Nationals on Sunday who could help transport her down to you Jane?

You are a real star taking on this poor little girlie. There can't be many genuine reasons to part with a bitch in whelp. Why oh why didn't he keep her apart from the dogs, or take her for the morning after injection when she was caught.

I'm with others, I can't look at those sites as I find it distressing that anyone can sell a dog that has been part of their family. I see there was an 18 week (I think) whippetxgreyhound pup on there that they were selling due to a house move. Surely they knew about the move before they got the poor thing :angry: Heartbreaking

 

[whippetmad]

Can't believe anyone could do such a thing :angry: :angry:

Well done to you both for helping this girl :thumbsup:

Jane i,ve left a message on your mobile :thumbsup: I will be here if you need any help at all :thumbsup:

 

[~Annie~]

Honestly, I turn my back for 5 minutes and look what you go and do We were supposed to be in Morecambe visiting mother in law on Sunday so travelling in the wrong direction, but if you are stuck for transport let me know and I'll try and rearrange with the old bat (oops, did I just say that :- )

Jane you are one very special lady :flowers: :huggles: , you too Trish ... and if Scruples Whippet Rescue needs any admin help I'm your girl ... too far away for practical help sadly but donations and paper pushing I can manage.
