Hi all, I lost my white leather show lead at the show on Saturday - it will have slipped off my crate as I carried it from the ringside to the carpark next to Tent 2 after the judging had finished. I wonder if anyone found it or if it may have been handed in to lost property? do show grounds...

Hi all, what a traumatic day. Dennis has discovered yet another escape route out of the garden - mostly they are made by a fox using our garden as a run thru. - he knows where they are thru smell - I only discover them when I see him disappear. To cut a long story short, he escaped within...

Hi all, my question is twofold - does anyone have the Leeds Show results that they can post and also - more importantly - has everyone gone over to the Whippet Forum now? and is that an extension of this forum... have I missed something? I have tried to register with the Whippet Forum and just...

I recently saw a Dobermann with trimmed ears (in the Uk) - they looked like very sharp upstanding triangles! Presumably he was an import - can ears be trimmed in this country? but can he be shown alongside our UK dobermanns - would those ears be penalised in the UK? I must say, but I suppose...

Hi all, just being curious again - is the Peperone kennel in Aus the same as it is in Scotland? I notice they're all Mc Cleods - is it one kennel with an Aus offshoot or would the Peperone kennel in Australia have to have been applied for under the Australian KC? I notice that the Aussie kennel...

Hi all, I've seen them at dog racing venues - a ruler with a sliding bit to accurately measure their shoulder size - I've tried 'dog measure' and 'dog ruler' in my search engine... I thought I'd track my pups growth and a tape measure makes them very very excited - oooh its a snake! :wacko...

Hi all, if a single judge is judging both dogs and bitches at a (UK) champ show, how will the running order go? For instance will MPD be followed by MPB or will the dogs be all, say in the morning and the bitches in the afternoon? or is this up to the individual show committee or the judges...

Hi all, just picking your collective brains - does the comparative weight of a pup have any bearing on its eventual size/height when adult? I've just bred a 10oz girlie with 9oz brothers and 8oz sisters - she has a longer frame but is now equal to her sisters in weight @ 3wks - will she be a...

I'm fuming! Leeds has imposed various dog restrictions as from today. They include various reasonable restrictions - ie. no dogs in playgrounds, more dubious ones - dogs to be put on leads when requested by council official - possibly good in that it will stop dogs being walked without a lead...

Hi all, apologies if it is already posted somewhere on K9, but is there a database of racing whippet names from which you can see the dogs KC registered name? Thanks in anticipation! Rachel

Hi all, I've just been making myself broody looking thru the whippets for sale ads, and keep coming across some litters that boast being from 'accredited breeders'. I just wondered what this meant? how you become accredited and by whom, and what it implies re. the puppies. How soul...

Hi all, I have put my poor old fat Saffron is on a diet and she is trimming up quite nicely, but is not a happy bunny and thinks carrots are PANTS! Is it always true that a whippet of the correct weight should have three nobbly vertebrae and three ribs and her pin bones on view? All my others...

Hi all, just perusing some show results and have a query... I always thought that the final line up could only consist of dogs with a 1st in their class, ie. unbeaten. If a dog who has come 2nd in their class is included in the line up is this because the judge has not been able to choose...

Hi All, perhaps some of you also saw Animal 24/7 this morning (21/9/09) and know how upsetting the footage was... I am in two minds as to whether to complain or not, and I have NEVER felt this way about a TV prog. before. It was not what I expected to see and I still feel very upset two hours...

Hi all, from time to time when browsing UK show critiques I come across a dog described as an 'old fashioned type' or an 'old fashioned dog', not having seen the dogs in the flesh, I wonder what one would look like? or does this term mean different things to different judges? TIA!

I've just met a woman on our walkies with two Cavalier spaniels. She told me that she had had 6 cavaliers before these two, all of who had died prematurely from heart related disease. The youngest at 2yrs and the oldest at 10yrs. The dogs with her were 12yrs - on heart medication and carefully...

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has had any experience with tumours in the mouth in their whippets. I'm desperate for a bit of reassurance! Kitty, my wonderful 8yr old whippet had a lump suddenly appear on her upper gum. (Large pea sized on a stalk, about half a cm away from the gum margin and...

Hi all, it has always intrigued me when dogs are owned in co-ownership as to how it works practically and in what circumstances it is done. The dogs I have noted are usually top flight. Arrangements must be individual, but how is it decided who shows him/her at what show, or pays for...
