Many vets do not understand the hearts of whippets and greyhounds and the fact that these occasional murmurs are what are called here 'innocent' - which means it has to do with the speed with which blood flows through the arteries to the hart and has nothing to do with heart 'disease'. This is...

We have celandine here tooo but they are not open for a while yet. Right now we are at the chindoxa stage, and waiting on the crocuses and tulips. I think both boys are lovely but totally lost my heart to black brindle Johah who is just stunning and beautifully conformed. Lanny

Hi back, I am quite sure Mike Howgate could tell you what Palmik dog it is and what its pedigree is -- be it Sunrise or Surprise. The awful news is that whingers whose complaints could easily have been resolved if they did so in a positive fashion, have forced the creator of the Whippet...

Deksues (not Deskues) Pretty Miss: Dondelayo Mosaic (b. 8 Apr 1973) x Zarcrest Zena. Stornalong Blue Ballerina: Strormalong Black Archer (Poachyn Tee Off at Stormalong x Wyemere Black Silk of Stormalong) x Stormalong Silhouette of Laurelcote (b. 7 Dec 1985) (Ch. Oakbark Middleman x Wyemere...

I read the entire thread, including the comments of breeders and observers. To stick your finger in the hole in the dyke and pretend if you do it nothing will happen and the waters won't breach the dyke is madness but that is what they did with their decision this weekend not to make those...

Get them done. It is worth the price to pay to protect the dogs from significant damage if they run in brush or bramble and injure themselves with dewclaws. Dewclaws are illegal to do in some countries (such as Denmark -- we have two Danish imports with dewclaws and we learned to vet wrap the...

Glad he is eating. I knew he would when hungry. I love blues! There are so few over here I have to get my blue fix when I go to England! Good luck with your boy! I am sure you never actually had much to worry about. Lanny

Now I would like to know how you created the running whippet trio?? Lanny

If your dog is showing no actual signs of illness, and is drinking water regularly, it is not uncommon for whippet dogs to go off their food for a day or two or even three and just nibble. As a young pup your dog may have nibbled or chewed something he found around the house or property and be...

Greetings from Canada. I also listened to the entire two interviews and would say that my concern remains the uni-focus of the RSPCA -- almost entirely on pedigree (KC registered dogs) and not on purebred dogs whom individuals may breed and sell to the pet community that are not necessarily...

Once the surgery is over -- and it is not a lengthy procedure -- my vet tells me he finishes a spay in 12 to 15 minutes under anaaethetic -- your dog will either be kept by the vet overnight and released the next morning (the way my vet does it) or released to you that evening with some basic...

Their parents are on my computer. There is no Dondelayo whatsoever. The first English dog you see anywhere on either side of the pedigree and it is about six or seven generations back is Greenbrae Barndance who is distantly behind many American lines. The littermates came from Stoney...

I think that is what is called a China blue eye over here in Canada, and of course it is a disqualification within the breed standard. I have first hand knowledge of such a whippet because in the 8 years before we acquired the beginnings of our whippet breeding program my son Mick and I...

Yes. Why is such a dog being taken into the ring to begin with? If they aren't socialized they are not awardable dogs. Enuf said. Lanny

I am with Karen Lee on this one. Temperament is an important aspect of the breed, and I do not believe that dogs with social problems -- including acute shyness should be bred to or from, even if that shyness is alleged to be from lack of socialization by the owner at some critical early stage...

Thank you for posting this very interesting information. My vet here in Canada is a specialist in orthopedics with a very strong interest in cardiology as well. As he has a rather large practice of sighthounds, as most of the whippets we have bred have owners who have made him their vet of...

I know what you mean! Some people drink, some people surf the Whippet Archives updating their own pedigree files. You do, and so do I! I'm encouraging Kurt to keep it up! I don't know where Kurt found that treasure of a book -- I would think it could have real value aside of the fact of its...

I see this bunch, very much up on leg, unlike some of the earlier photos of dogs you posted, are all grandchildren of three Montague dogs and bitches and Glencoe Model, all bred in England. Their great-grandparents are out of Manorley Merman, Manorley Maori (who was a son of Merman) and...

Kurt, this is wonderful information! Where on earth did you ever get it from! Thank you for sharing it! Lanny

Hi, what files did you attach the photos too? I have most of the Von der Hallerhutte pedigrees on my pedigree program and would love to see who you have put up there! Lanny
