Hi Just spent a while this evening discussing clicker training of sighthounds in general and whippets in particular with a friend... I tried to click my step-daughter's new rescue lurcher. He's a stunning lad - whippet x terrier - and astounding on the lamp, walks nicely on a loose lead, is a...

Does anyone know of anyone breeding good, well tempered whippet x working beardie pups? I know David Hancock has a good working beardie now who produces sane pups, not too hard-headed, but don't know if he lets anyone use it over a whippet, or if anyone's interested.... thanks, all Manda

Hello This isn't strictly a whippet question - but I thought you'd all know the best answer ... My elderly lurcher is really feeling the cold now and tho' I've got a water proof coat for her, it's not very warm. So I wondered where sold the best (not expensive!) but very warm, dog coats...

Hello I'm a complete newcomer to the whippet world, but have just finished a marathon read through the UK/USA showing thread and was immensely impressed by the honesty and integrity of the dialogue from around the world. As someone said, it was a degree in whippets and has already changed how...

Hello I've been browsing this forum and others and have found a series of sites that list the URLs of pedigree breeders, but not yet any that list the sites of non-pedigree breeders of good, sound whippets (or indeed, any whippets at all) is there such a thing? and - that apart, can someone...

Hi all, It's one of those rainy wet Sundays when I'm upstairs working to a deadline, and browsing through the web as a displacement. My elderly, utterly loved soul-mate of a lurcher is downstairs snoozing in front of the fire. She'll be 14 in a week's time and one day soon - not too soon, I...
