    Biker John, Is your whippet a worker or pet? My whip x did feel the cold standing around and at close to minus temps but being a worker from 6 months onwards the cold never gave him big problems until say 10 ish when at certain times the coat was on him,

    vaccination in dogs is the no.1 priority. Do you agree?

    I think at start of life the dog needs that jump start, I did carry on with the boosters for life but just thought it right, saying that there’s so much info saying different, up to the owner to decide.

    Puppy blues

    Having parents that don’t want or know how to care for the dog spells big trouble, if your parents said no then That should have been it, let’s hope there’s a happy life about to start for this pup.

    Crate vs harness for car?

    I’d say harness to be honest, the crate does seem strange but if as hemlock says it can be done in a diff design then fine , when I moved to Scotland my car was all duvets up so back seat for him was like a big protection bag, we can’t drive for others as we all ways have too nowadays so best...

    Barking and biting during play

    Sounds just normal stuff, stay cool, controlled but semi in control, tick tick as time goes by months or so I can’t see a problem, so much advice from so many can for you cloud the issue, pick your advice and stick too it,

    Is this Aggression?

    Ok, well I was a hunter so I wanted a quiet dog, my point is I want my dog not to start a chance of a fight, his aggression must be in field hunting , he did like 80% of dogs but he understood my point and excepted my view, anyway enough said by me, have a good day.

    Is this Aggression?

    I thought she said her dog was off lead and growled, if that’s correct then he’ll yes I’d reprimand MY dog, why ? No dog of mine ended up aggressive on my shift, like I’ve said before my brindle tried.

    Is this Aggression?
