Yes any dog is OK

BUT it MUST have

A head like a snake,

A neck like a drake

Side like a bream

Back like a beam

Feet of a cat

Tail of a rat.

So - it doesn't really matter as long as it looks like a whippet/greyhound lurcher/longdog

:cheers:

Welcome Becca,

love springers, a very busy breed, do you work the dog ?

Cats and snakes (w00t) .

Jax, not so sure if we all like those. the more dogs the merrier though, better still if it's a whippet

welcome to k9! i myself am owned by 2 staffies, but i have to say i'm drifting towards whippies, lol! just have to convince the OH.... :- "

if what you're looking for is a site that offers friendly advice concerning your dogs, that has pictures that make you laugh, stories that make you cry, great people to share good and bad with... look no further!

ps, i definately prefer cavaliers to plain king charles! did you know that in the early 19 hundreds cavaliers were almost extinct? until a gentleman offered a £2000 reward for good specimens thereof. he single handedly encouraged the continuation of the cavalier, which was actually the original breed. god, i'll just crawl back into my hole now.. i think i read too much :b

Hi there, as someone fairly new to K9, it seems to me that all you need to be made welcome on here is a love of dogs (and animals in general,) and to be slightly mad.

Hi Becca, Welcome to K9, this is the bestest dog forum ever. My friend breeds and shows English Springer Spaniels and my whippet thinks he is one. Have another friend who has Cavaliers and they are special little dogs as well.

Enjoy the forum and post lots of pictures.

(w00t) thats a 1st! everyone i know just groan, and tell me to shut up!

to begin with there was only the king charles. as years went by, pups were born with shorter and shorter muzzles. the gentleman i mentioned became rather distressed and offered that reward. i think, not sure here, he purchased several specimens afterwards and began his own breeding program. coupled with the reward, which was offered for several consecutive years, this caused the long muzzled variety to flourish once more. with help from the kennel club, they managed to get this variety classed as a seperate breed. in deferance to when the breed was first recognised, they became the cavalier king charles spaniel.

phew, took longer to write than i thought,lol
