Goodday i will like to have a communication with you so we can know each other better here is my email (vera_awaza@yahoo.com) i will send you my picture when i receive your reply waiting to hear from you (vera_awaza@yahoo.com) Vera.

Thank you for your replies - the pup is 9 weeks old and is being sold by the family who bought it off the breeder, who lives close by to them. The family, with 4 kids, have decided that they cannot give it enough time. The breeder is on holiday at the moment (it is August, after all) so I...

Hi, I not sure if it's "done" in breeding circles - but then I'm not a breeder BUT! I have the chance of buying my first whippet, a KC pedigree male puppy "King **** Of Black" (KC name)? The seller says it has pedigree papers (5 generation) but how will I know if they are genuine? I have...

Thanks to you both - seems strange, let a dog run uncontrolled in an open area and you can insure it. Let a dog run under safe controlled conditions and there seems to be a problem! Q? How do I get moderators to remove post?

Hi, I was wondering whether owners of racing or coursing (or both) whippets have pet insurance for vet bills, loss/theft of whippet(s) etc? As I am thinking about getting a pup to eventually race - I have been looking at various pet insurance sites. It is difficult to get a quote, because I...

Just to say - "same here!" I enjoyed my first visit to whippet racing - thanks for the conversations and smiles. First impressions are that you are a " happy" lot. Also decided me on a smaller whippet - the 19-20lbs type or is that inch?? Bonus was - I got a suntan!! See you again and...

Thanks FionaS - for reply. I was worried that another bitch might cause problems with acceptance, whereas, I have some vague memory of being told as a child that bitches accept dogs better than other bitches in a pack. Good to hear you had no problems, but my two are not neutered/spayed, so it...

Thanks Esty - it did occur to me the other day, watching the BT's racing around that there may be a problem - but your reply has laid that to rest (just a little bit!!). On thinking about it - the whippet pup may come to believe it's a terrier as well, but just a lot faster! Both BT's are...

Hi, I'm new here and thinking of getting a whippet pup sometime in the future as a pet and hobby racing it. I have already got 2 Border Terriers heading for their 9th year - both litter sisters, therefore bitches. After being the family pets for nearly 9 yrs, will they resent or accept a...

Hi, I didn't start this thread, but I have lapped up the advice and experiences given. It's preparing me for when I eventually get my first whippet pup. My two terriers have always done the "whacky races" around the house - from room to room stopping in the middle of the room, only to speed...

Thanks squizzle - asked before I was put onto the post codes! :teehee: Thanks again!

Hi Steve, Thanks for the offer and the info. This is a really welcoming forum. I used to go to Lancaster to St. Martin's College - off the M6 - through some little village - straight on down the road - turn right and I was there. I remember a nice restaurant, a nice pub and a castle lit up...

Hi, Cracking pictures! Are you allowed to enter a kangaroo in whippet races? Looks like it in the above pic!! lol! Really enjoyed the pics - I'm an expert at taking pics of my lens cap! :blink: Thanks again.

Hi, I see you are in leicestershire - is the "Independent" in/around Leicester? Regards dave.

Sorry! I meant to finish that wall off! lol!! :sweating:

ppps: Sorry to use this in reply - still finding my way around - but someone "pm'd" me saying a whippet X bedlington could be considered. THANKS for that, but it popped up - I read it - then clicked off without a reply or getting the name - Apologies to that person! :unsure:

Thanks marielou - I'm in Preston, Lancashire - I have seen two clubs so far, one a pedigree only club and one a non-pedigree/pedigree club. Both are not too far in a car for me. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks Kim/Badger, much appreciated for picking your brain! I wouldn't want a "tall" dog around the size of a greyhound - too big around the house, hence the 20" idea. So whippet X whippet seems to make sense. There is a cat that comes into the back garden, but she has evaded the Border's...

Thanks Hula - much appreciated. A past neighbour, an old boy in his seventies had one a few years ago, a dainty little lady - he would be up at 3-4am and take her lamping or hunting - he had done it all his life . In all the time I lived there, I never saw a collar, let alone a lead on her...

Hi to everyone! I have just joined - minutes ago, so this is my first post, so please be gentle! I am thinking about getting a whippet, it will be my first one of this breed. At the moment I have two Border Terrier bitches, litter sisters. I got them at 9 weeks old and they are now heading...
