I am not criticizing but if SAM comes from race lines they play way more aggressively than the regular whippet does. This could become a problem for you in the...

LOL Susan, I am looking for one of those "irregular Whippets" myself. The sweeter, quieter and better dispositioned they are, the happier I would be:-) Anita...
Happy New Year. Aren't the whippets just the coolest? The picture of your baby and dog is so cute. Our Cleo is similar in coloring. And so soft. I'll...

I had a bad experience with whippets from one specific open-field coursing line (hunting jackrabbits in competition, not racing). A woman at the Sacramento...

Gary When my two play it terrifies my in-laws as the sounds they make and things they do to each other seem horrible. They grab and drag each other round by...
I am not denying that there are some "hot" temperaments out there and that aggression and excessive prey drive exists. Your experience was very unfortunate and...
Thanks to all that have logged in to my question about Sam's aggressiveness with other dogs and his live in step-sister. I see I may have stirred up an age...

Gary It honestly depends on her temperament. Does she seem the kind of dog to you that would be a dominant personality when she grows up? Do you think she...

Do you have boots, or socks for your dog for the winter months, or don't you need them? Cleo's just fly off all the time, and her feet get sooo cold....

Susan, I certainly wish that the breeder I met at the Sacramento show had been more forthcoming about why she didn't wish to breed from the bitch related to...
Actually, Lucy's larger size may work to your advantage. Dogs which are considerably bigger than a more agressive packmate tend to be more tollerant than dogs...
Hi Suspenders on a whippet? Now that is a fantasy that needs a lot of thinking about. Mind you I do not use coats for my dogs, but please dont go down that...
Here in Denmark, I never had seen a dog with boots, (you can buy the special places) but back in 1980 I did made some boots for my Shih Tzu because they could...

The lines that Donna Lane got her dogs from are NOT race breeding. How many race-bred dogs HAVE you owned in your 31 years? And since whippets were bred to be...
Now, now, folks, I did not mean to start an arguement. While the line in question has been seen in the show ring, various people at dog shows have told me...
True enough -- whippets (and MOST other breeds as well) should always be pets first. My pups all get carted around by my seven-year-old daughter, dressed up,...
