Hi all, I need to get a whippet from N. Ireland (Barnesmore) to England later this month and a friend will be bringing him over to N. America from there. Does anyone know of any reliable transporters who move whippets between N. Ireland and England and if so, can you give me their...

I'd be furious, too, if I saw chocolate flavored puppy milk, too. Ridiculous! What are these manufacturers thinking? As for the goat's milk, we give it to mom and the pup's once they are weaned and I would swear by it. Here in rural Maryland, US, we can buy powdered goat's milk under the...

Hi all, This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. While there are some who co-own multiple dogs with multiple other parties without any problems (the very lucky, I believe), there are many who go through heartbreaking, and often expensive, ordeals involving co-owned dogs and I have...

I follow the new veterinary protocols for vaccinations here in the US, i.e. less vaccines starting later. The first distemper/parvo is at between 8-10 weeks, the second follows 4 weeks after the first, the rabies vaccine no sooner than 4 weeks after that and then at 1 year after the second...

I think what Manda was trying to say before is a more technical (and accurate) way of saying what some of the old-time breeders have been saying for eons...basically that when you closely linebreed, you double up on the good, and double up on the bad. In this case, the 'bad' being stuff that...

bottom line: line breeding is based on what you can see in a dog/bitch It's what you *can't* see that causes the diseases we've been talking about - when all the recessives come together - but you didn't know they were there because they were recessive and so hidden which is why it's...

I have a book called "Successful Dog Breeding" by Walkowicz and Wilcox which lists reported diseases by breeds. According to their information, whippets are reported to have:1) bi-lateral cataracts, 2) Coliform Enteritis; 3) Color-Mutant Alopecia; 4) Cryptorchidism; 5) lens luxation; and 6)...

Kelp is supposed to help pigmentation, or so they say :))

Chilka Dusky Dame dark brindle with clown face markings and white trim. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the info. One more down...I think I'm still missing Sakonnet Alfafa, Chilka Dairy Maid and some of the Sporting Fields whippets. Jalynn

I hang mine along the windows in our motorhome for decoration but I have a friend who has labs and has won so many ribbons over the years that she, literally, has "wallpapered" her kennel bathroom with the flat ribbons and has made designs in the "wallpaper" with some of the rosettes.

[Mine originate from Chilka Dairy Maid - who as far as I know is Dusky Dame's daughter. As I understand it, Chilka Dairy Maid and Chilka Dusky Dame are litter sisters--out of Pearl of Akonyte at Chilka by Eng Ch Oakbark Middleman. I suspect that C. Dairy Maid and C. Dusky Dame are brindle &...

[Katie Of Bewdisan - Red Brindle Parti <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks again, Judy!

Sorry to be dim but what is Irish Marked? Thank you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I understand it, irish-marked refers to a dog who is mostly 'base' colored but has some white on his/her chest, belly, feet, tail tip, muzzle, forehead (star or blaze) as contrasted with a parti color or solid or...

Thank you, Judy. My list is shrinking, little by little!
