A reminder to all you Aussies that I'm processing entries for the Whippet Club Show in Sydney for Thursday, 20 November at 7pm. The show is being held in conjunction with the Spring Fair 3 shows with international judges, and although I always find it a tiring weekend, the opportunity to show...

Law here in my state in Australia. I've been microchipping pups at 6 weeks of age for quite some time now. A chip has moved on only one of my whippets and our Saluki, but the rest of our dogs are fine. However, my dog chiropractor HATES them. They are more obvious on whippets/greyhounds as...

Emma, your post prompted me to comment although I had been luking and not intended to post as for me, the thread is quite fragmented. This thread has tangents in that there are posts describing function and evolution of various breeds. That’s a separate issue to health unless the current type...

Thanks everyone for the congrats on Spot finally getting his title. He's not been shown much as he really doesn't like the showring and I don't think it's right to push dogs into an environment they're not really happy with. He's a real sweetie at home and loves getting bossed around by the...

Puppies a couple of hours old.

After much worrying, sleepless nights, angst, trips to the vet, phone calls to the vet, Ming with a thermometer in her repeatedly, Ming and Jack's puppies finally arrived late on the 66th days since mating. As we all know, it's ovulation time that determines whelping but as we hadn't done...

It is with much sadness and still with tears that I post that Steve and Sue lost their young girl, Storm, on Monday in very tragic circumstances. Following winning Best Gait at the Specialty, Storm was admitted to a vet on Sunday morning. On Monday, Sue had to go to the Royal for a judging...

RUBOB: Gr Ch Taejaan Butterfly Effect Dog CC: Gr Ch Taejaan One Step Closer Res Dog: Ch Marchpast The Emblem (Imp UK) Couldn't be there this year as had an RR litter today but this is what hubby and Sue told me. Cheers

Like others, John and I are very saddened at Jack's passing. I was stunned at Terry's news after I rang him on my return from o/s as we had sent one of our girls to be mated to Jack whilst away. Jack was a special dog. He had a great character but he excelled as a sire. I sincerely hope that...

I mustn't have explained myself well, Gail. :( What I was trying to say was that for me on the day, as a judge, I loved some of my younger puppies and juniors and they didn't come back into the ring. I never said the puppy was too big or heavy but in discussion with other judges, they...

Whilst I haven't contemplated this, I don't see a problem. To my knowledge, this procedure has been carried out with zoo and endangered animals for some time. I know of a litter where 2 males mated a bitch - 1 accidentally - so DNA was carried out and the pups registered accordingly. Each...

The outfit is no more ... :angry: I hand washed it, put the skirt on a hanger and put it on the line to dry. I went to visit my mum and left the dogs loose in the yard as my son was home. I came home and my son showed me my ruined skirt. My puppy RR decided on a gallop past to jump up to...

Thanks Karen. Wld appreciate it if someone could record it and paste or email the ad. Love the Whippetwear gear. :thumbsup: Cheers

My BOB at Donaueschingen Petit Fille z Uplnku from the Czech Republic Owner: Veronika Kueerova-Chrpova Waiting for the official pics to be loaded onto the Club site. Cheers

After 6 weeks away, we're finally home but to bitterly cold weather. Even snowing outside Sydney! :o We started our trip with the World Show in Sweden and ended with a couple of days in Bangkok after judging at Donaueschingen Sighthound Show. Friends took some of the dogs and my son looked...

Sorry for the late acknowledgements and my thank yous. :D Been a bit busy with an ill mum. work, 4 girls in season and some very interested boys. Love the shot of Electra in Lisa's lap but that is not the Electra I'm used to. She's not called wild and wicked for nothing. Lisa told me...

Congratulations to Lisa Barrenger and Electra (SBIS, BIS Aus / Am Ch Ridgesetter Fly The Flag, ET, SC) on Vesna (Ch Ridgesetter Maid In USA IID) gaining her Aussie Championship title recently. Unless mistaken, I believe this is Electra's 9th champion progeny. Spot is on 90 points and...

I will try and post pics to a site so keep an eye out.

Regular vets don't do frozen inseminations - or at least here in Oz they don't. Progesterone assays are a given test. Many breeders already do prog tests for normal matings. When you're hopping in a car and driving 14 hours to a stud dog, you want to know that you're not too early - or too...

For any Aussies & New Zealanders interested in whippet memorabilia, I've justed put a new topic in the Whippet General Discussion section. Cheers
