I must admit I err on the side of caution when it comes to running my dogs free. If I sense that there is ANY CHANCE whatsoever of them interfering with each other when they are running, I bring out the lead or exercise them separately. With the speed at which they move, the chance of spinal...

A friend of mine had a bitch who gave birth to three litters in the course of her life. She was a teeny little thing. Her first litter was 10 pups, the second, 11 and the third 13!!! All the pups were healthy and she fed them without any help all and survived. Her daughters have all also...

WOW, what LOVELY PUPS!!!! Would love to know the pedigrees and colouring of the parents?

I have have had many. many of my girls spayed in the past 30 years - even when the vets still made huge incisions and gave dreadfully strong anaesthetics :o :o And have never had problems with stairs. They seem to very soon realise it's in their own interests not to be too boisterous. I...

These pics just exude happiness and contentment. Obviously the pooches are adorable and beautiful, but it is the happiness of this canine family that strikes me the most. It does the heart good :) :D

This year has seen the loss of two more very special Silkstone whippets - the one in France and the other one in South Africa. :( SILKSTONE OPERA QUEEN ("Thais") (1995-2009) from Danielle Lempereur's Blue Springs kennel in France was truly that 'pearl beyond price' - a broodbitch who passes...

Yes, according to his owner he was poisoned. She was very upset, so I have not heard any more details from her. :( :(

Nope, just the hard ouside part of the hoof. They are hollow like a shell. They go soft, like rawhide as the dog chews them.

Silkstone Secret Gold ("Damon") was a stunning dog in the showring and he left a wonderful legacy of progeny of classic type that Roma Wright Smith was so, so well-known for producing. His passing is indeed a sad loss to the whippet breed. He sired a few litters in the UK before moving to...

We have been giving cow hooves to our dogs as treats for decades here in South Africa. I mean just about EVERY pet owner here treats their dogs with them, so if there had been any ill-effects I'm pretty sure we would have known about them now. Some people dip or soak them in boiling water...

My whippets juts love to lie and chew cow hooves. :D It is good for the teeth/gums and keeps them occupied. I was wondering if they are available in the UK and if other whippet owners also feed them to their dogs? Or have ever had any bad experiences with feeding them? As a precaution I...

Here are a some more pictures of this clan having a ball in the daisies. . . :) :D

I give my whippets cow hooves to chew - have been doing so for 20 plus years and have never had a problem with them swallowing the hard tip or anything like that. It definitely does help with tartar build-up, but the best for removing tartar is still a big marrow bone once a week - if you have...

Hi there, your baby is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!!! I can see his arrival was not an accident - it was well planned - mom went out and bought all the goodies (jacket, toy, bed, etc, etc) before he arrived . . . . Beware, beware - it starts with one and before you can say "whippet" you find yourself...

I just love this jacket!!! What a coincidence - my whippet uses the same designer for her jackets :)

Ahhhhh the phenomenal athleticism of our breed . . . . . :o :o :o

Here in the southern hemisphere, spring has sprung. And if you're a whippet, oh-what-fun it is catching imaginary butterflies and chasing imaginary rabbits on a carpet of daisies . . . . :)

And how they design themselves into the most unique sleeping positions :b -_- You have to be a whippie to understand how this sleeping position can possibly be comfortable. :p

Hi Jane, Hope Rosie continues her steady recovery. These "mystery" illnesses are the VERY worst! I too have a multiwhippet household and have found that a roomy wire crate is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for any dog who is feeling poorly. It separates them, but they still feel a member of the...
