It's not 60 days from mating but 60- 63 days from ovulation. Did you have a progesterone test to show when she ovulated? If not, although she may have stood perfectly well for mating, it is easily possibly that she didn't ovulate then but some time after. The dog's sperm is viable for about...

Only the breeder can register a dog and it is supposed to be a whole litter at a time. The bitch may be bred as you say but there wasn't a fawn parti in either of the registered litters. (Which shows why it is a mistake to rely on twa for info). Incidentally, it is not a racing pedigree. Gay...

The bitch has had two litters to Little Diamond, one in 2006 and one last year which was presumably not the litter the mated bitch came from. If you tell me the colour of the bitch that was mated to your dog, I can tell you her registered name if you don't know it. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Was that £700 for a referral clinic? And did you get a copy of the test results? Still recommend you join the kidney group for help. How is Cloud today? It is really a mistake to think you can leave this sort of things to a vet - I ended up with a bill for £3000 because my normally good...

When you get the results, make sure you ask for a copy. (It's yours - you paid for it). If you join a support group which I really recomend, they will probably ask what they are. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Oh dear, what a worry for you. I can't answer your questions from personal experience but suggest you join the kidney failure support group http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/K9KIDNEYS/ where there are people who do have experience, waiting to help. Goodluck to you both, Gay...

Easy! Feed them separately and more exercise for you, too :D Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

As with people, exercise is the key. I have two who could eat for England but as long as they get to run about a fair bit every day, I don't have to diet them. People who do want to cut down their whippets' calories often give them green beans but with the price of food going up daily, that's...

Have to say, I haven't posted for a long time but I am still happy to help anyone who thinks I can. Never go on fb and not being in anybody's "gang", I often haven't the faintest idea of what is going on under the surface so if I do post, please don't read too much into it. :unsure: Gay...

Like Karen, I have only just seen this excellent thread and cannot resist joining in ;) Jenny wrote In addition why do we coin the term "old fashioned whippet", why do we not describe dogs as "modern type of whippet". We do. In my Darlington critique I did just that. And people who say...

If there is a judge's critique on www.dogbiz.com it wasn't written by me. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Just seen this. Think you should write to the man and ask him exactly which disease he has in mind for whippets. The breed does have anecdotal evidence of heart disease, eye problems and A-I related disease but I cannot think of any that are due to conformation as specified in the breed...

Yes - I heard last night from Gary that it is the same field, not the small, hilly one at Newbury. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

If anyone wants to pay last respects, the funeral is Monday February 8 at 12 noon at Charing Crematorium. No flowers by request but donations can be made in his memory to the King George Fund for Sailors (Arnold was in the navy) or Whippet Rescue. Gay www.moonlae.co.uk

A friend of mine needs a loving pet home for her 4 year old black gsd bitch who used to be a guard dog when she had kennels but was taken into the house when she gave them up. Although she gets on fine with the rottweiler, terriers and lurcher who are also in the house, the three whippets will...

It's a no brainer. Ovaries and hormones are not like the appendix - they are there for a purpose. Vets don't tell you that there is an increased risk of disease because it is a win win situation for them - first they get the cash for the op, then they get a patient for life with ensuing not...

I was so happy that everyone had a good day - entirely due to the huge efforts of the "helpers". It takes a lot of people working their socks off to put on something like that and everyone helped where they could. Thanks, Annie for the pic of Amber running as a bye dog in a blue collar :- ) Gay

Can anyone tell me where/how to get a bank of manually operated scratch traps, please? Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

That is really good advice, Lanny. I am always surprised by people buying bitches who don't bother to ask if the siblings are entire,l et alone the breeding history of the parents. And I have also had difficulty getting a straight answer from someone who used one of my dogs, proving him but...

There is a champ show this weekend - Driffield - (sorry, can't remember where it is exactly - try googling Driffield Championship Dog Show) where you will see lots of breeders from the North as well as the usual suspects from the South. Catalogues are pricey - usually about £5 but they will...
