Hello Mel and Welcome to the wonder of the Showring, First of all we must have a KC registered Whippet befor we go on. All show's put out a Schedule in advance that you must fill in with all the details of your dog and send back to the show Secretary with the appropriate fee's. There are...

Dear Jax, Yet another insult in your post, Tell me How long does one have to own Whippets to be considered a Whippet Person. After 48 yrs I think I have served my apprenticeship. Go to the data banks on K9 and look up a dog called Black maria. He was sired by a dog called RCH haymaker and RCH...

:clown: Many thanks for the compliments Paula, Have a great New year Mike :wub:

:cheers: Hello Lesley, Many thanks for your very kind words. We love her very much even if my goo lady is sure she has the devil in her. Happy and healthy New Year Mike :wub:

:clown: Hello dawn, Her sire's side is Barnsmoor, and her mum is Laudessa Veni Vidi Vici whch goes back to Barnsmoor and the usual kennels. We love her for her spirit and gameness. She is frightened of nothing. Happy New Year Mike :wub:

This is my Lucy, first time I have tried to send a picture hope this works. She is only a baby. Mike

:clown: Loved to see some very nice Whippets being shown. Well done to all that ventured out on such a cold day. I actually went to see one of my old dogs pups Performing in the Shepherd ring. He went B of Breed and also group 2. Wish I had entered my lot now. Regards to all Mike :cheers:

Isn't this against the rules of K9. I will not reply in the same manner but just wish you peace and joy and Health for the new year. My post's are just mischief and to give one something to talk about, I didn't realise they would bring out such hostile post's as yours. I feel hurt and wounded, I...

I am going to try to stop winding people up , and getting them all worked up he he he lol. Don't know how long I can last though. Mike

Hi Jools, I didn't say they definatly did cross breed just mentioned it and threw it in for people to talk about. I will have to make a New years resolution to stop winding folks up and getting them going he he he. Mike

Hi Dawn, Yep you are right in your thinking, I have line bred for years but the best of all that I bred was a complete outcross. I am still trying to breed back to him and regain his qualities. After all that's what we all strive to accomplish. A quality litter that is equal and as close to...

Hi Dawn, I think you have jumped onto the wrong band wagon, Hybrid Vigor is a term used to descibe a problem or condition ,when Line breeding to it's extreme is undertaken. It dosn't mean they are mongrels, If one keeps going into the same lines time and time again, then there comes a point...

Hi Jax, Can i throw in another suggestion into the discussion on hy are Whippets getting so big. Have you thought of Hybrid Vigor. This can and does have an effect on one's breeding program, and one which we all have to keep an eye on or we know what the problems can be. Regards and Merry...

Hi , My friends for over 30 years had salukis of the Seafleet affix. I was allways around them and over that period of time something was bound to rub off and stick. They are as stated very aloof and think they are God's gift to man, which is wha the Arabs think actually lol. They do have...

I don't know how to answer this one. I didn't know the judge was going to do what she did until she actually did it. Does that make sence. I thought i would get a good going over , but when I saw what was in the ring with me I knew I should have got about 3rd or 4th, but not 1st. If I had have...

Hi there, As the person that took Whippet Racing to Askern track back in the 80's, I would like to know a little more please. I haven't een on this forum for ages so I may have missed all the messages. I was also responsible for running Whippets at Doncaster and Dillington Park. Can anyone...

Hi Jax, Just take a look at the K9 NoN ped section. It is full of cross bred dogs. To breed some Greyhound blood into Whippets, ( By the way they came from Gryhounds in the first Place), one needs to use a Whippet dog the smaller the better and a smallish Greyhound. Keep the ones you want to...

that's the answere in this last post. After 40 yrs of breeding racing Whippets that are crosse with Greyhounds or 2nd generation Greyhounds , sadly I fear it has crossed over to the Pedgree Whippets. After all it's only the breeders word that they have used a certain dog. When I go to shows...
