You might want to get him a snug fitted harness that he can't back out of til he gets used to walking near traffic. Sure he'll enjoy having more sofa space ;) and there's bound to be some safe dog offlead areas on the outskirts if you ask around :luck:
I love beddie x whippets :wub: and having one myself don't think I could manage without!
If you would consider a slightly older rescue pup there are 2 lovely blondies :wub: on Lurcherlink atm
Just found the Oldies website :thumbsup: and there seem to be a few oldie lurcher girlies looking for retirement home...
http://www.oldies.org.uk/?cat=1
Have a look here http://www.lurcher.org/llink/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 as may be somedog suitable or she could try the Oldies Club but fraid I don't have a link for them.
If doglet isn't in Essex I'm sure transport could be arranged as most rescues listed will home out of area but your friend...
Have a look on www.lurcher.org/llink/forum/index.php? there are 2 hounds looking for homes sections altho beddie whippets are very sought after in rescue so you may have to wait awhile....
Anyone missing a whippet (or whippet x)
http://www.dogpages.org.uk/forums/index.ph...&gopid=2149955&
I think there are a few K9 members in this area so thought I'd cross post as
she might come to another whippet if you happen to be walking around there.
(hope it's ok to post these here but situation desperate)
Nine Lurchers stolen from house in Sutton Valence, near Maidstone, Kent.
1 x Adult Dog
Dogs name: Sam
Age: 2 Yrs

Distinguishing features: Tattooed ear and large scar on stomach...
My Lupin is a beddie whippet and a better friend you couldn't have :wub: also Flax is a whirrier altho as she's a rescue I'm not entirely sure what her mix is but she's a little darling too :wub:
There is a whirrier boy looking for a home over on Lurcherlink currently being fostered in...
Just saw the news of his return over on LL and delighted for you!! :D
Diesel must be so pleased to be home again! :huggles: :cheers:
Well done to woman who found him and took him in! :)
I should keep looking locally as well, as if asked one usually says where one was born not necessarily where you are living atm.
Do keep doglost updated as lots of helpers on there used to this sort of theft....
Here is the link to Diesel on Doglost just click on the poster to print out.

Too far away (Wilts) to put posters up but wish you the very best of luck getting him back :luck:
Have you contacted the traveller liaison officer & dog warden yet? Sure...
Might be worth putting her on here as well http://www.lurcher.org/llink/forum/viewforum.php?f=14
as the more people who see her the better chance of finding a good home for the lovely lass :)
When are they moving?
A little bit of cooked chicken or tiny bit of cheese (not too much cheese as may upset her tum) is good as a treat at that age I use little bits of kabanos from Sainsbury's as recall treats with mine (youngest 20ish mnths) but may be a bit fatty for her.
Naturediet or Nature's menu do little...
Shouting defo not good idea. Just take her out into garden (on lead if she doesn't like the rain) every hour or at regular (frequent intervals) during day and after all meals (3/4 a day at that age) and whistle a bit to encourage her to pee/poo and when she does praise her like mad and say Good...
Over on LL anyone who makes/resells stuff to sell to other members donates a percentage to lurcherlink which I gather works quite well and when people receive their stuff they are perfectly at liberty to post pics and say who they got it from and how pleased they are therefore generating more...
You could try posting both whippets in Other Homeless Hounds on Lurcherlink as there are quite a few whippy enthusiasts on there :)

They sound scrummy! :wub:
Lurcherlink have group walks from time to time in various parts of the country and may also suggest you contact Jim (can't remember his surname) for help with your doglets....

Walks can be found in 'Travel Arrangements' but you need to sign up so they know you...
