With the year coming to an end and thinking of 2009 there seems to be a load of blanks on the pinned 2009 champ show judges list. If any more are known I would love to know them. Many thanks Kathy

Today is my boys 5th birthday :cheers: as many of you know I lost Biscuit at 4 and Rosie was so ill at 1 so for me Cracker is my oldest ever whippet :D we all have ambitions with our dogs, some to make up a champ and win CCs, mine are more humble and my ambition is to be able to enter a...

OH is a great radio listener in the car and he tells me that there was a discussion and announcement saying that the RSPCA have withdrawn their support at Crufts next year. Their point is that the Kennel Club are not doing enough to address breeds that have problems due to breeding too...

Its 2 years today since I lost my Biscuit in a tragic accident. Everyone says the pain gets less - it does but I still think of him everyday. My first whippet who had the fullest 4 years of living. Still love you so much. Run free Kathy and family

I am a very proud mum today, my daughter, Annalese after really hard work has got her A level grades today. She now has her place at the Royal Vet College in London. :D How wonderful to have a vet in the family in the future - I reckon she should make whippets part of her special study :p...

Imagine this, on the final leg of a journey coming home after a week in the sun. Offspring at home doing dog duty, everything is fine. Airplane lands on time :thumbsup: said children are driving to pick you up. Only another hour till your home in your own bed. Rendez vous works find, no...

Hi, have been trying to do a bit of planning (finances :blink: and organisation) and am surprised that I cant find anything about Leeds on Higham or Fosse - some of the shows that are in August are already posted. Are they using another source for entries or am I being dull :teehee: ! Any...

Hi, wondering if anybody has any advice re would be whelping time. My two girls both had their first season back in Oct. so have just passed 'would be' whelping time. I have not had any phantom signs and all has been happy in the camp. Over the last few days, my boy has become quite insistent...

Probably been asked before, but, can somebody please clarify the definition of an 'outcross'. Is this when there is no common ancestor in 5 or 3 generations? As we know if we go back far enough we find the same names occuring. If a litter brother/sister occurs in the history is this classed as...

Alison, I can now announce that I am the proud owner of a memorial tattoo for my dear Biscuit. :D I found another image and had that done - so when it looks good I'll have to show all. Any others thinking of tattoos this is my first and I didnt think it was bad at all - quite pleasantly...

Any info please on the Irish circuit. We had our hols there a few years ago and I now that there were champ shows going on. Also that people go and do about 5 shows in 10 days? I would like to know the ins and outs, it sounds like an excellent excuse to visit again with the caravan. Any...

Well finally we managed to take some shots this afternoon, difficult but getting there :sweating: Ffion is really sweet and very loving but also has the biggest mouth of any of the whippets ive had (albeit only 4 :))

Sorry if this has been on before, does anybody know the entry for WELKS on Sunday? Thanks K

Could somebody please clarify what 'well boned' means? is the bone the circumference of the foreleg, width from the front, width from the profile or just the overall feel. This must relate to the overall size of the dog, a feminine bitch would look odd with large legs and similarly a dog with...

Can anybody help please. My friend has just had the news that her spaniel has a Fisher fracture (spelling?) from birth and that its hind leg may have to be amputated. Does anybody know anything or has had any experience of this. Currently she is devastated and looking for info. Thank K
