Who is Miss frou frou?

Hey Karen, I missed this....way to go the boy Bonz. What a fabulous all round top whippet. He is my screensaver on my work computer, running all out. What a guy! You need to take a bit of the credit for conditioning him. Well done the Surrey Hill team. Cathie

Thanks for putting that up Karen I have just posted it on the forum and thought I'd pop it on here too, but you beat me to it. You and Butters look fabulous. :thumbsup: Cathie . Here are the results in full. BEST OF BREED 10 Ch Sporting Fields Glory Bound Breed: Whippet Sex: Bitch AKC...

Wow what an offer! But it would just be such a shame to deprive you of all those lovely cuddlesome whippets. I just know that they would miss each other so badly too. If I do make it over and do actually allow one in my room, do not even try to foist a dilute fawn or brindle on me......there...

They look more chocolatey in the newborn fur. I've had quite a few of them. Cathie

I suspect that the puppy is fox red, they start out as chocolate. A novice registering a litter early could easily make that mistake. Here are three cute little chocolate puddings. One turned out Sable. He ended up with an amazing close sheeny coat with masses of black in it. Some come...

Why on earth do you have to linebreed to have an affix? Cathie

Gay has a wonderful database and is very happy to help as she often mentions in her posts. She has done all of my whippets COIs and I have posted them on my website on each dog's page. Click here if you want to have a look at them. Bluestreak Whippets Thank You Gay Cathie

You need a non dilute fawn to mate to the blue to get black. In the UK practically ALL of our fawns are dilute now, except the reds. We don't have those non dilutes that the American's have aplenty. Let's leave the masking cream gene for another day............LOL Cathie

Actually even if she had blacks behind she would not be carrying the gene for them as black is dominant. In other words any dog carrying the black gene is Black in person (unless it is blue). A black is a NON DILUTE blue A Red is a NON DILUTE fawn. Her non dilute modifying allele has made...

So Sorry Anne you are wrong I am afraid. A blue mated to a black pigmented brindle or fox red will produce a black, as the brindle carries the non dilute gene which turns blue to black. Here is an example, Folly with her beautiful babies by Elaphine Alexander Blue Cathie

I am very sorry but...............I don't agree that blues are discriminated against. If they are good enough they win. Black is harder because they really do vanish into the background and can be overlooked by a judge almost by accident, shouldn't happen but it does. Hey there are worse goings...

That black girl looks VERY promising Lida. Best of luck with her. Cathie

Bo Bengtson has asked me to pass on this message about the magazine. He is really sorry for the disappointment to subscribers who have not received their latest copy, but there have been problems with which he has now dealt, and the magazine is back on track. He says it should be ready for...

Shyness should not be forgiven in the ring, but I do think that a good judge will do their very best to put a dog at ease, even if it is not possible to go over them properly. An exhibitor with a normally confident dog behaving spookily for the first time should probably withdraw from the ring...

What cute little pups Wendy. Looking forward to the next batch of pictures as you seem to have such a good crew of helpers. Cathie

I had a bitch with all the symtoms described by various posters on this thread. Several blood tests revealed nothing, nor did scans at the local practice. Her temperature hovered around 104 for a week. Every day I thought it would be her last as we tried test after test. Eventually I got her to...

It seems to be vital to get the prednisolone dose correct to prevent relapses. If your GP vet is not extremely experienced in this field, get a specialist, they know how high the dose should be and for how long to give it, and how to withdraw the drugs at the end of treatment. Unfortunately the...

Hi Nicky The vet is quite right not to give you steroids in case she has an infection. That could be very dangerous for her. They need to rule things out before steroids are administered, it is really bad practice to hand them out unless infection has been totally ruled out. You need to monitor...

Hey, nice one Griff. Happy New Year to the Byerleys. Cathie
