Hi Richard

The English Whippet (Hardcover) By Walsh is available on Amazon at 19.00. It is not bad and concentrates mainly on the history of the whippet both working and showing.

I have most whippet books and they are all either whippet care or history. One day I am going to sit down and write a whippet novel or a book of anecdotes!

Would be great to read a whippet novel.

I have a children's book called Chuck and Danielle, by Peter Dickinson (who owned 3 whippets when the book was written). Chuck is a Whippet.

I haven't read it yet as I bought it for when my grandson is a bit older. It has seven short stories about Chuck.

I think I will have to read it now. :wub:

there's one I really want, but is a bit pricey - The Whippet by Bo Bengston from Bohem.

I bought my daughter a book and then read it myself. Fantastic novel, made me cry, and okay it's a Greyhound not a Whippet but still a wonderful read - Born To Run by Michael Morpurgo.

That's a great book. I bought that and read it myself.

Agree with Eve - Mary Lowe & Ted Walsh's book 'The English Whippet' is excellent

 

Many other Whippet books are available including

Patsy Gilmour's

 

Phil Moran-Healy's

Amazon - The Whippet. Click link to view inside the book.

 

I haven't read the following but they are about a Whippet on a narrow boat in France and the US

I've read Narrow Dog to Carcassone. It is very funny in parts but I didn't feel that they were very kind to poor Jim, their whippet, who just hated being on their narrow boat when they crossed the channel on it.

I must try the narrow dog books, they look like fun and have good reviews on Amazon

:thumbsup:

Bought this book for my daughter when she was younger It is a great read and one of her favourite books from her childhood

Chuck looks so much like our late whippet Jesse :wub: that is the reason I originally bought it for her :thumbsup:

Hi eve, I will be the first person to buy your book of whippet anecdotes. I think it is a WONDERFUL idea. Whippets differ so fundamentally in many ways from other dogs that one has to either live with them or read a book about their anecdotes to appreciate them. All the cold books about history of the breed, conformation, temperament, breeding, feeding, etc although very useful, don't give one a true insight into the world of the whippet. Lorna

You could call it "The Wonderful World of Whippets" :lol:
