Roscoe is quite a barker - when he's playing with other dogs, when people with beards walk past the house lol and at people carrying tripods in very quiet nature reserves.. :b (though brilliantly, he doesn't bark at the postman, courier or leaflet delivery people.) He has this amazingly deep...

So sorry that your beautiful big lad has gone :(

:( This is a heartbreaking story. So very sorry for you :(

My two are 18 months old and have their breakfast at about 8 and the other meal at 3.30 - 4 The only other food they get is liver cake for training on walks and Grover usually manages to snaffle a crust or two off the counter if the lads leave their plates too close to the edge! During the...

What absolutely amazing photographs! I was stunned by the first one but the whole set is just fantastic. I just love Afghans - my first sighthound was a rescue one :wub: :wub:

:D :D :D

;) This was me ranting at society in general rather than the sensible advice I've been given :lol: It's like when you have to take your kids off the swings because there are idiots gooning about in the park. I know it's for their own safety, and of course will do it but it's hard to find...

I know what you mean about when kids are around. Ours love kids but we do put them back on the lead because they want big kisses and could easily knock a kid over! Also, if kids start to run the dogs would think it was just a big game. A couple of weeks ago I was in a dog park with my two and...

Aw, poor Zana, hope she gets over it quickly with no lasting damage. These kind of people are my pet hate at the moment, and it's true you end up so busy looking after your dogs that it's only later you think, 'Damn, I should have taken a photo.' Give her a hug from Ros n Grover :))

Where has the time gone? I was expecting little baby whippets still but they look so bright and independent. They are sooo gorgeous :wub: :wub: :wub: How are things going for little David?

Grover is my own dog, not my Mum's rescue :) He and Roscoe are 18 months old now and after a couple of incidents in dog parks when he was a bit younger, Grover is nervous of some other dogs - always the types that have gone for him in the past. He is brilliant with little dogs, anything up to...

BTW When I used to use Twitter I 'followed' a guy in Toronto who had a blue whippet. I'll try and remember his name as he may be able to tell me where he got his whippet from :thumbsup:

Hello and welcome! :)) I have two whippet brothers, a black/ white and a blue/white. Their dam comes from show lines (she's fawn) and their sire from working lines (he's black).I didn't know that there weren't many blues in Canada. Over here (North West England) we see quite a few. My only...

:lol: Haha tell your husband that my husband and I take offence that whippets are for old people! We are both still (just) this side of forty :thumbsup: and my teenage sons also take our whips out without embarrassment. I'm also thinking he has only met/seen pictures of little whippets. My...

:luck: :luck: :luck: Best wishes to Moonpig from Roscoe and Grover :luck: :luck: :luck:

Ahh, have just found the blue whippet on dogpages (he is with Many Tears) but he's reserved. His name is Klar.

I saw two yesterday on my usual trawl through the sites. One was a whippet cross called Coaster on the Many Tears website, he looks like he may have a slight bit of collie in him or maybe greyhound. Gorgeous black and white dog, good with cats! I also remember seeing another one, a blue boy, but...

Perhaps you need to do it in stages......get a beddy/whippet cross first, then in three or four years when he realises that the whippet side is nicer than the beddy side, get a full whippet :thumbsup: Seriously, my husband didn't grow up with dogs around as I did, and took some persuading...

I tried to edit my post before to say that perhaps she has PND, although giving the dog away would be a short term solution as the guilt may make her feel worse. It is a sad situation, and again if my dogs were just a year or two older I'd seriously consider it. She obviously loves him, having...

I agree with Ann on this one, though of course I don't know all the facts - would seem more like someone either can't face the inevitable end with an old dog, or can't/ won't pay increasing vet fees. How could they do this after 14 years? :( Perhaps if it's a toddler harrassing the dog there...
