Does anyone have any advice on any additional foods/supplements that would help with the demands of a litter on the bitch, and help toward getting her back into condition..

Due to a little confusion over my last posting offering a home for a female whippet, I thought I would re-write and clarify. I am offering a home to a whippet bitch between the ages of a 1-2yrs. I am happy to consider a dog with mild behavioural problems, or a dog that has perhaps not made the...

What dogs come under the dangerous dogs act ? should breeds like staffies be under control (on leads) in public places ? Any info would be welcome..

Can anyone let me know what the breed standard is regarding weight for whippies ? I heard that it was aprox 17lbs for dogs and 15/16lbs for bitches... Just had my 6mnth old Sam weighed for his worming tablets, and he is 26lbs !!! not that it worries me as I am happy to have the extra weight...

Hi All, Well my 6mnth old pup has been good to train, however over the last month he has become increasingly "deaf" with regard to recall. It has got to the point where he will not return, but does not run off into the distance, and will continue to follow me wherever I am going but does not...

Dear All, I am having a problem with my whippet pup eating carb's, I have tried pasta with his fresh meat, which he filters out from the meat. I have also treid wholegrain brown rice with his meat and veg, but this goes through him. I have also tried a good quality puppy mixer with his meat...

Many thanks for the affectionate gesture's, and many thanks to Dawn for her assistance in posting the images, no idea why I could not get them on.... He was bred by Sandy Hardcastle at Exeter and has the "Poachyn" line as well as many other well known lines. He's settled in well and elementary...

My 10wk old pup is due for his second worming at the weekend, can anyone recommend a certain type. I know that drontal is popular, but some advice would be appreciated. I have also used panacur in the past, is this still popular ?

Well he is here, picked him up yesterday... Its like he has always been here and has settled in completely. He is now 10wks, did not want to pick him up for christmas as I think the confusion and excitement of the children would have been a bit much. I have attached a couple of pic's but will...

Does anyone have any opinions on Jan Fennell's method of dog training, two friends have just been on one of her courses and think very highly of the method she uses. Does anyone else here have any experience or thoughts about this. :)

Hi All, I am new to the site, I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on getting hold of a pup. I have plenty of experience with lurchers but have never had a working whippet. I live on the edge of Dartmoor (Devon) on a 500 acre estate with more rabbits than you...
