:D Galgos in the UK? We do have some, brought over by a rescue organisation based in the UK, but I can't remember her name or web site. I know she rescues them from the racing tracks in Spain and ships them over here for a new life. But whether any of their owners come visiting K9 or not, I...

:( This has in parts been an interesting thread, so let's keep it that way shall we? (w00t) (w00t) So, does colour dictate, to some extent, nature in the whippet? As this is such a specific question, and as the Whippet Club has not, to my knowledge, invested in expensive scientific...

-_- Sometimes it is very useful to know what, exactly, the remit of the dog warden is regarding packs of dogs/and or roaming. So phone the police and ask them how you go about getting the necessary department to do what they are paid to do, and before someone get injured! If it's not them...

:)) Hi Jo, it's Smiffy here, sorry to hear your youngster has picked up an injury, can I come with you when you go to see Simon, pleaaaaase!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, have you thought of having it checked out by a pro, after all, it's a racing injury and one can never be too careful with those...

:- " I too read this in my dog paper last year, so hot-footed it to the vet to ask her, as all mine wear magnetic collars and this she knows!! So we checked them all, and they all read OK, so was it scare tactics? Like Rob, all mine are chipped, and they can be felt, but what are the options...

-_- We racers have been a bit slow on this one haven't we :* I don't run bitches, and every owner has their own ideas on what they do and why, yet as the physiology is the same as that of the greyhound in that the hormones soften the tendons and caritlage in just the same way; it would seem...

:)The Whippet Club on behalf of its racing fraternity had presented an excellent case for pedigree whippet racing to be excluded, and at present, this is the case as the whippets are not racing within a stadium, are family pets and live with the family, are with the family from puppyhood to old...

:( Strange that I had this conversation last Saturday. So, for what it's worth, IMO if you believe that your bitch is worthy of the breed and thus worth breeding a litter you should have your potential purchasers lined up BEFORE you mate the bitch. If you haven't got the customer base, why...

:( I had to have my little bitch spayed before she was 2 years old and have used the same theory as the last thread. Every other day I give her a spoonful of my soya phyto estrogens - but I have to admit this was not to stop/prevent incontinence but to try to keep it at bay as I know that...

:- " Logically, if you wanted a jogging companion why didn't you buy a breed which was bred specifically to jog like the dalmation or find a partner who likes to suffer on a daily basis in the name of good health?? Contrary to the last post, I do not believe jogging to be good for anyone, and...

:teehee: Sadly I have this particular teeshirt!! I too have a spayed bitch who had a wonderful coat - until she was spayed. If only the spayed bitch has the problem coat, then it's hormonal, but if they both have it, then it might be like my boiler - combination!! If it's diet, then decide...

8) Hello there, you enjoyed it then! If your training session was at Fordingbridge then you can ask Sue if she could bring some muzzles for you to try on the dogs, or you can contact Greyhound Megastores and buy them. :luck:

Well, it's got you all going anyway! It would appear from this that the idea of an early start is a non-starter!! :luck:

:( I stand corrected. One the first count, Paul tells me that I am wrong, and that WE voted against moving the bends from where they are to other dates. So much for memory!! My very public apologies to the members of the WCRA committee. So the responsibility for any injury, but default...

What an idiot, did the same one twice OOPS!! :D :x

Lasts just over a week??? How much do you have to feed them?? We feed Royal Canin racing food, which costs more than the Red Mills or Burns, I wonder why I have to pay VAT on something which is called racing food? I'll have to ask Arthur! - but I feed 5 whippets for 5/6 weeks on one 15kg...

Once you have been to the vet you will feel much happier than you do at present! As a rule of thumb, if tummy bugs don't clear up in 48 hrs with starving them for 24 hrs and then light boiled rice and chicken, I take the dog to the vet. But, if it's a pup, then I will only wait 12 hrs - which...

I still find it amazing though that no matter how much everyone emphasises that they don't blame the WCRA - some of them are still so sensitive about it, bless 'em. Hmmn, well had the WCRA listened to the club who proposed a move for the bends and the owners at the talk-in last year, and bowed...

:( Like you, I don't live 2 mins from any track, and unlike you I don't camp over, but drive to the venue on the day. I would have thought the main objection would be the time scale for getting the track ready for the day rather than the convenience or otherwise for the human owners. As it...
