OK folks, I give up. I have been to the Isle of Man on holiday with my Mum, and I have seen the Lady Isabella waterwheel, but I haven't a clue who Lady Isabella (the whippet) is! :blink: Can someone please enlighten this foreigner as to parentage, dob etc.? You may all know her but I...

Had any of these dogs you mentioned fractured their pelvis? Its just im worried about the bone healing in the wrong place! Marie. :huggles: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Marie, none of our dogs had a fractured pelvis, but let me tell you about another type of fracture that one of our dogs had...

I am so glad I read this far because I was in the process of planning to email you to tell you DON'T DO THE SURGERY AND LET HER HEAL BY HERSELF and now apparently you know. We had a boy dog -- a dashhund whom we boarded who ran under a bed at his owners home chasing a ball and came out...

I saw Markwis at Crufts and loved him -- my kinda dog, my kinda colour as dark particolours are particular favourites of ours here. And then I saw his sister Mfa Madam at Nevedith in the paddock and she commanded your attention with her positively fluid movement. Trust me, if I could have...

For the seasoned eye, and this is an eye I think comes after several decades of breeding, there is a moment while the newborn whelps are born, when you can if you have the right eye, see the pup as it will be as an adult. My son Mick who is the breeder of Avalonia whippets, is dyslexic and has...

I have Woollahra Treasure Hunt out of W. Harq't Devo x W. A for Adorable and then I cannot go back any further too. Lanny

Brilliant! They have obviously been to our house and I have to confess -- with a modicum of modesty -- that absolutely every one of the several score whippets -- from 4.5 months to 16 years qualifies utterly! I am delighted! Finally a breed standard we can all understand, believe in and fully...

For those of us who are foreigners and not intimately aware of who owns what, could someone please enlighten me as to what or who Angela Randall's bitch is... Is this the Crosscop bitch? A registered name is always better than a call name in identifying someone who wins... remember, though we...

With maturity she has become so much like her father Nicholas. The facial resemblance is astonishing and I love the quality of her front and brisket. Do you plan to use her again? Lanny

Our typical bitch is on the small size for North America -- 18 to 18.5 inches but the ones we produce, keep and show are all champions and all English bloodlined -- and our males vary from 19.5 to 20.5 inches. We won't accept bigger, as the bigger the dog the less it is like a whippet in our...

Oh for gosh sakes. Can someone stop this insanity? Whippets are a substantial and healthy breed and there is a diverse gene base on which to base present and future generations. Just because the German Shepherd has been bred, mostly by American 'fanciers' to be a crippled dog that looks and...

Whoever inputted the entry for Pinetops Chatterbox did so by putting an ' s for Pinetops (Pinetop's) which is of course incorrect because Pinetops was the kennel name. No apostrophe s. That meant anyone trying to find the dog could not do so because of the spelling error as the spelling must...

I am so delighted for you! Go Willow go! Lanny

We've been lucky enough to have two of ours hit sixteen (and one 17 and a half which was amazing) and in each case I think they were left to grow old with me because someone up there knew how incredibly important those two dogs were to to me. It is such a joy to own and live with an older...

If I could have tucked Lima under my arm when we were at Crufts and persuaded Bart he wouldn't really miss her I would have taken her here to Canada so help me I would have done so. And I am not particularly a fan of fawn dogs. But when they look so elegant and move like THAT -- how can you...

I was at a show here in Canada last summer where six or seven dogs of another hound breed were housed in canvas kennels in an area adjacent to ringside. It was a day with high winds and the threat of a thunderstorm. As the storm rolled in the winds became almost gale like and debris flew...

We have owned whippets for 25 years and bred them for nearly 20. In that time we have bred 40 litters of whippets, all careful linebreedings, and without ANY of the problems some of you folks seem to be obsessing about/searching for/using ratio assessments in what I consider to be a dubious...

Let me start this one off Bart by saying that we are probably totally unconventional and we are certainly the opposite of you, because we have what I would suggest might be the best or if not very near to the best kennel of entire English bloodlined whippet MALES in the world. We have sons --...

In Canada we have a Loonie coin (picture of the very beautiful Loon on the coin) which is roughly half a pound, and the Toonie coin (equal right now to a pound). In North American terms the Loonie is one dollar and the Toonie is two dollars. Both replaced paper currency. So she could have a...

Saw her at Crufts and positively loved her so I am not at all surprised she was made up so quickly thereafter! She is a wonderful bitch anyone, anywhere, would be thrilled to own. :huggles: Lanny
