Flint had a stroke, aged about 12, I think. He was off his legs but the vet couldn't see him for about 16 hours. When he finally did, Flint was already recovering and the vet had him jumping over sticks in the garden. He was on Vivitonin for a couple of years and was completely normal...

Dixie was a worthy winner of the second stake (a four). She beat my Amber. Main stake was divided between Frosty and Favour. No point running the final as I know Frosty is faster/fitter than Favour who had 12 stitches in her armpit until Saturday. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

I think it is very unsporting to show in-season bitches from all sorts of points of view. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Thesoak in salt water (6 teaspoons salt to one pint water) for 5mins three times a day is the classic remedy for cut anything but if he has split the web (the thin skin between the toes) that is very bad news because it will take a loooo-ooong time to heal (e.g. 6 weeks) and if you let him off...

If Oxford is not too far for you, I have used Andrew Bartholomew (Oxford track vet) for more than 20 years. Not brilliant at the quick fix - won't take chances - but can mend a smashed hock so that the dog can run - and win - again. Not tremendously expensive compared with others but you need...

There are few exhibitors today who want to know negative points about their dogs- or will admit there might be some - which is why when I write a critque, I write general observations first including the most prevalent faults and then in individual critiques, write just enough to explain why 1...

I am curious about all these Winterfell dogs - are they racing names? The only KC registered Winterfell is Winterfell Lady Casey Grey born Nov 2007. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Don't think I'd call those chocolate - but I would certainly be waiting anxiously to know what they were :) Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

I don't think that can be right - all the dogs and most of the breeders in the 4th generation of the bitch I plan to mate next are dead :( What exactly did the newsletter say? Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

The list is quite extensive if you start adding the variations on colour + white (e.g. fawn & white, fawn white trim, fawn particolour) but please, please people could we stick to the recognized whippet terms. Someone has registered a puppy as chocolate in the last brs and as whippets do not...

No probs - happy to help. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

thank you so very much for your help , such a wonderful service for free, all for the good of our breed!! thank you , the Highisland gang x

A quick way is to ask me - I have all KC registrations on my db and the Breeder's Assistant programme does it in seconds. I have 8 generations set as default - but the KC does not have a full 8 generations because they only put them on the computer from 1982. I am working (slowly) to fill in...

This event has been cancelled. At the AGM they vosted not to have whippets at their fun days :( Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Esty - Rachel is right, you have missed the point of what I wrote. What made you choose the puppy you have? Was it because you researched her parents and grandparents, looked at her conformation in terms of how it might develop, watched her move and watched her mother move and decided that she...

I think that is too much for even a fit dog to run in one day - better make it a weekend and run a purse and plate for first and second round losers. Gay www.moonlake.co.uk

Historically, blues and blacks have been bred for colour, regardless of conformation or quality which is why they tended not to be good enough to win in the ring. If your primary consideration in buying a whippet is its colour, then that doesn't matter to you and many breeders have exploited...

That is correct. I vaccinated my coursing greyhounds myself because they were not supposed to leave the premises before they had been identified by the greyhound stud book official (and it is not really practical to take nine four month old greyhounds who have never been on a lead to the vet...

Hooray that she is getting better but it is a bit worrying that you haven't had a definite diagnosis. I have heard of this happening to someone else. Did they say why the still thought it was meningitis in spite of the negative spinal tap? (please pm me if you don't want to prolong this on...

I saw Alex quite recently (last year) at the Yorkshire fund raiser. I first came across him at a similar event at Fakenham racecourse (been doing that sort of thing since 1976 ;) ). I took a young bitch who had won the first coursing stake I entered her in with the Cotswold and had also won...
