I do hope an IG doesn't upset your shadow Poppy :o
3 of my Whippets were horrified when I brought tiny baby Georgia home :(
Gracie adored her from day 1 & became her Mother. However Gracie's not the brightest chick on the planet ;)
But the others took a long time to accept her.
Yes they do!
I can't move without Georgia.
She follows me everywhere & wants to be on my lap all the time.
She will even sit on my lap when I'm on the loo if she can :blink:
She sleeps with her head on my shoulder every night no matter how hot it is :sweating:
IG's are far more demanding...
Georgia has the same amount of excercise as the Whippets.
About 30 minutes road work in the morning & an hours walk in the woods with free running in the afternoon.
However I never allow her to run free at the same time as the Whippets.
They are much larger than her & if they crashed into her...
Georgia has the same food as the Whippets!
A small amount of Berties dry as a base with freshly cooked chicken, lamb or beef.
Sardines 2-3 X per week & eggs 2X per week.
I also cook a chicken/rabbit & vegetable stew, with carrots, peas, squash, apple & sprouts. They all have this every day &...
Before I approached any breeders about IG's I read Lilian Barber's book
"The Italian Greyhound 21st century"
You can buy it at :
http://www.amazon.com
It's not available at Amazon UK.
It's an excellent book & I highly recommend you read this before making any definite decisions :thumbsup:
A cynical person may indeed :lol:
But regardless of the original motive for bumping up this topic it was a wonderful day & now of course Zoe B is a well deserved champion :cheers: :thumbsup:
Very succinctly put :thumbsup: Unfortunately a lot of people who want to breed crosses these days are only interested in £££££££££££££ & sadly, as you say there seems to be people who will pay stupid prices :- " :(
