I am so glad - I am sure she is in the right place and they will do all the right things. Fingers and paws crossed here that she is back home and on the mend in no time. Better start preparing those treats! Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Have your vets ruled out tick borne diseases - e.g. Lyme and others? If so, I think you should ask for specialist advice via Dick White referrals (Newmarket) or if that is too far, a similar top clinic. Also, make sure you get copies of the blood tests so that you can get advice as I did...

Kit, the bottom line is that if you are out at work all day, you cannot offer a suitable home to any dog, let alone a whippet. No reputable breeder would sell you a puppy and not all rescues are so grateful for a roof over their heads that it seems an improvement on what they had before - some...

This is an interesting discussion. If you don't think so, there is no need to be so rude and dismissive. Nubian, in every other country but the UK, whippets race on time trials but historically, in this counttry, whippets have been handicapped on weight. In the days when the sport was run by...

I thought so too but because the Kennel Club has put it on its "watch out for" health problems to breed clubs, I asked my vet if he had ever seen it in a pedigree whippet. To my horror, he said he had and my attempts to get through his professional discretion could only elicit that it was...

I agree that is the best solution. At this minute all six dogs are on the human sized bed in the dog room but they often spread themselves around the six floor beds. Choice is everything! Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

I'd love to see them, too. Any chance of bringing them back? Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

It is limited to members (of the club running it) and dogs that have not won CCs (or any award that counts towards a title). Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Hi Nubian Sorry I've been late getting back to this. IMO Wickwar is not a test of speed because it is uphill and too long for dogs smaller than greyhounds (and yes, I have run a track greyhound there). As others have said, whippets can hit top speed inside 150 yds and that is what whippet...

I have also run (whippets) at Wickwar where my coursing bred dogs are able to beat racing dogs that they would never beat over 150 yards on the flat. Probably their experience in coming out of slips gave them an advantage they would not have had from a trap. However, I don't believe that...

Personally, I feed frozen meat (Prize choice) and Laughing Dog biscuit but try this for info (from the links page on my website so please let me know if it doesn't work) More than you want to know about dog food http://www.dogaware.com/dogfeeding.html Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Thanks for "getting it". If you know anyone having a litter who might be tempted into fantasy colours, please could you tactfully help them. As for paying £20 to change a registered colour - I am horrified. "Mistakes" are usually put right without charge. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Many thanks for the link - there are some lovely whippets and I have bookmarked it for more leisurely perusal. :)) Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Are they from the same litter? Huey may never have had a lot to eat if the others were greedy. It would be better if you could feed them from separate bowls because if something bad happened to Marlo and he got lost or had to stay at the vets, you would have a real problem with Huey. It will...

Hi all you breeders and people with stud dogs, please, please could you keep to whippet colours when registering the puppies. Am currently inputting the July - September registrations on the db and am finding more and more puppies registered with non-whippet colours. I know the standard says...

I think the rough coats were always a bit lurchery and they couldn't be shown because the Whippet Club was founded in 1899 to promote "true" whippets which in practice meant guaranteeing shows would not lose money if they scheduled whippet classes. They also promoted the judges they thought...

Hi Tinne If you want to extend the Tiptree connection, here is his pedigree: Pedigree Of TIPTREE BOUND'S KING KG8/31 Sex: Dog D.o.B: 28/01/1931 +-- BETTER LUCK KG12/13, 19/02/1913, , +-- WATFORD 11/19 BON KG1/17, 22/03/1916, , | +-- Ch KEMMEL KG2/15, 01/08/1914, ...

No - as I said, I only have KC registered whippets for that period and there is no Hollings, no Old Danny and of the 28 Nells, none belong to Robinson. Whatever the antecedents, those names are definitely not registered in the UK. I can only help if you give me an English name for Oakroyd...

Hi Lanny My db is fundamentally all the registrations published in the Kennel Gazette from when they first started registering whippets (with some research to sort out the multiple Nells, Toms, et al). This goes up to December 1965 and also includes some American dogs that are of personal...

Joining this discussion a bit late but am interested to know what the English name of Oakroyd Prince was before he was exported to Germany - presumably you know, Lanny if you researched him at the Kennel Club? Also, what was the English name of Maid of Barnsley (no KC registered bitchof that...
