I wouldn't say there was ever a top limit. I know of one bitch who was never shown until she was 5. Her owner found that she really loved it and she did well with her well into her veterean years. I think the reason people say as early as possible is perhaps to get them used to showing while...
Janet, I do hope he's already safely with you. I lost a friend's whippet from my house a few years ago, and she was missing for 11 days. We got her back safely, but one tip - which I'm sure you've already thought of - take another whippet that he knows with you. When my friend's bitch was...
Here's one for you to be going on with - a certain Ringmore Chapter and Verse (whose owner kindly let me handle her!) winning the Working Class, with a UK grading, under Mary Lowe.

I'm not sure if my records are 100% accurate, but 7 other dogs were made up in 2002. I'm not sure how many were made up in 2001, but it was at least 3 others.
Interesting - Have you ever known a castrated dog placed ? and although interesting your reply doesn't actually comment on my point re breeding
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
No a castrated dog wouldn't be placed as a judge should also be taking into consideration the ability of the dog to be able to...
Well, I think I can count to two - I usually can anyway, and I seem to remember placing him first in a large Post Graduate Class. I certainly wouldn't give an award like that to a dog that's not entire!!
