I've seen on TV the terrible floods up in the Lake District. Does anyone know if Mary Lowe & Pam Marston-Pollock are okay? Would be grateful for any news. Gail. :(

Actually this is just a test to see if I can upload the photo. I bred this puppy earlier this year. I haven't started showing her yet. Her pedigree is on TWA if anyone is interested to take a look. :)

Hello Everyone, can you help? Over a year ago I met a beautiful, small greyhound bitch at the vet surgery. 3 years old, black with bold white trim, lovely temperament, not much bigger than some of the whippet dogs getting about these days. Last week, out of the blue, her owner phoned, said she...

It gives me great pleasure to tell you all that our own "Bookworm" aka Peter Griffiths of Byerley Whippets here in Australia undertook his first judging apppointment at an all breeds champ show last weekend. He had no hesitation in giving a Basenji, Best In Group. This dog then went on to win...

Six months ago I reported that my lovely Pagan - Verdellho Halloween Doll - had been diagnosed with a terminal heart condition that would kill her suddenly anytime between right then until 6-7 years of age. Inspite of being pre-warned it was still an awful shock to wake up & find her dead on...

Has anyone had experience of this? My old boy is rising 10 y.o. He's neutered, not overweight but just isn't quite right. Last year he had a blood profile done which showed an irritable liver, increased platelets & white blood cells but not cancer & not likely to develop into cancer so vet...

Thanks to jayp I now have a copy of Natalie's notes which are a fantastic & a thought provoking, even worrying, read. I've sent them on to all the dog & cat breeders I know here in Oz. who weren't at the Congress in Sweden. If I missed anyone who would like a copy, please pm me. They have...

I've just been reading Karen's thread about her latest puppies in which she says she likes to stack up & make her first assessments at 9 weeks of age. I always do this at 8 weeks of age plus/minus a day if I absolutely have to. A friend of mine says no it must be at 6 weeks of age & someone...

If you go to the topic of Whippets in Wikipedia it says under the heading "Health" Quote. The heart of a whippet is large & slow beating, often being arrhythmic or even intermittent when the animal is at rest. This sometimes causes concern to the owner, or to the vet not experienced with the...

I've been waiting for someone to mention Phil's party after the judging at Crufts. How did it go? Was he pleased with his gift? And what was his gift? Referring to the topic of the dreaded MOP. I was lucky enough to return to England with my dogs & competed at Crufts 1993. My dog was trodden on...

My nephew in the UK, who is a whizz with computers, has just sent me a message to say if you've got Broadband you can log onto http://wwwbbc.co.uk/iplayer/ & watch the TV coverage as it goes to air or at any time up to 7 days after the transmission. I don't have broadband so will have to wait...

I've been reading with interest the topic of overbreeding & have noticed several references to putting puppy buyers under contact but how, on earth, do you enforce it? You breed a litter & place some (hopefully not all) on the Limited Register & sell them as pets to people who appear totally...

Last year I told you about my girl who had to be spayed after her first season due to a pyometre & who, a year later, developed incontinence early springtime. I had replied from all around the world offering advice - thankyou - but, as the vet advised, it was just a seasonal thing. This year it...
