I know I said congrats on FB but wanted to say it again on here! Love the pics - you look so happy! x

So sorry that she isn't well :( If you want to try a harness go to Perfect Fit Perfect Fit website The harnesses are bought in three pieces so fit exactly. If you contact the lady who runs it she will help you measure up and she does send them very quickly. She caters for all kinds of dogs...

Must admit I can go for weeks without coming on here when I used to have a nosey at least once a day. I just got fed up with trying to scrutinise my own posts and pictures before I posted, looking for things that people could take exception to e.g post a pic of a whippet in a harness and you get...

I'm so sorry this happened to you. It happened to us (although our dog wasn't hurt physically) and leaves you shaken and angry when you meet these kinds of people, and also plays over in your mind which isn't nice. If people know that their dog goes for dogs on leads, then THEIR dog should be on...

Link to Telegraph article on attempting dominance techniques with your dog.... Telegraph Article

Thank you :)) Also, Jim Greenwood told us that the act of going to stroke a dog you don't know above its head is taken as a threat by a fearful dog which is why Harley may have reacted to the lady who tried to stroke him and why most dogs will duck away if people approach them in that way...

We had a problem with fear aggression after one of our three was chased down by a couple of nasty GSDs last year. Until then he has been a lovely socialised boy who was fine with other dogs. After the incident with the GSDs he began barking at other GSDs, then labradors, then all big dogs and...

So lovely of you to take him in, especially at short notice. He's beautiful. Also, I took in a stray whippet x last year from the pound 'to foster for a week until she was claimed' and 9 months on she's still here and going nowhere....they have their ways of getting around you!

Firstly, so sorry that you lost your girl in such tragic circumstances :( I can just echo what others have said about getting a companion and also add that we adopted a 2 yr old whippet x bitch last August and haven't looked back. She was a stray so we had no idea of her background or any...

I agree that the dog is white with blue fawn markings. He is gorgeous, whatever name we give to the colours :) I would class my Grover and blue and white parti as he has equal amounts of blue and white, whereas his litter brother, Roscoe, is black with white markings - even though he has a...

Scruples would be happy for that to happen - though they don't have kennels anyway, dogs go to approved foster homes to live as part of the family until they are rehomed. No matter how careful she is, if she doesn't have the homes vetted appropriately, her boy could end up in the wrong hands -...

They are just too cute! I know how you feel - I wanted a whippet for over ten years before OH relented. And we ended up with three in the space of two years...

I've got a fab one where Roscoe and Grover are lying on the floor but can't find it. These are pretty good though. Great thread! Grover and our foster dog, Dash (now living in the lap of luxury in Oxfordshire) Roscoe and Dash Dash, Roscoe and Grover Roscoe and Grover, even lifting the...

Gorgeous fella, just wish I had room...my Emmy is part saluki (well, we think she is, she was a stray) and I love them even if they are stubborn. :teehee: I can understand their rehoming policy if they want to do home checks and followups BUT it's the RSPCA - surely another branch could do...

Ah he looks a darling :wub: What a stunning and gentle looking boy. Someone will be very lucky to have him. Wish it could be me, but two was Pete's limit and we've now got three!

Hi :)) I can't help re: a litter but I will just add that I adopted a stray 3 yr old saluki x whippet bitch last Summer and she has been fantastic with our cat since day one. I know what you mean, especially if you have a few cats it may be better to play safe and get a pup but don't...

I do applaud the fact that CM has helped save hundreds of dogs from death row and he is quite amazing to watch BUT there is a big problem with people trying to copy him and damaging dogs. Recently I went to a TTouch training seminar held at the Dog's Trust. We we all assigned dogs to work with...

Please, please contact Scruples Whippet Rescue. :)) They don't have kennels so you don't need to be worried about that - the dogs can stay with you until a suitable home is found. They usually have a waiting list of people wanting a whippet and in December they successfully rehomed two...

Poor thing :( One of my whippets has ended up with fear aggression and now cannot be let off lead because he was free running in the park and a woman with no control over her GSDs came in - one of them went straight for him, chased him, trying to bite his rear end (not playing I assure you...

My whippets haven't raced and live happily with my cat. Don't know about racers BUT most whippets that need rehoming through rescues such as Scruples Whippet Rescue have been pets not racers so it shouldn't be a problem to find a cat friendly one anyway. My whippet x saluki rescue, Emmy, is...
