You can certainly change a dog awfully just by stacking them differently; look what somebody did to my Stella!  (w00t)

​

The difference is really amazing here, and the other example is rather extreme, too. But these photos are chosen to show how huge the difference can be. I think when talking about real photos from the shows, when the dog is stacked not to show how different he can look, but to show the best of him, the differences woudn't necessarily be so huge.

A firend of mine wanted to share ring photos of her dog from both sides of Atlantic, but she has some problem putting the pictures here and asked me to do so for her. Here they are:

and

He has some more length and depth in front on the first and more neck and height on the second, but his topline, underline, angulation and front assembly doesn't change much in my opinion.

This dog is being much talked about here because of the photos that have been published of him.

I know who this dog is.

The upper photo would not have generated the same enthusiasm for him that the lower photo and similar stack jobs in other photos have over here. He's being hotly anticipated because of photos like the one below. The upper photo--to me--not exciting and he looks a bit extreme in the rear, probably because he's sagging into it. Nothing is being asked of him on the stack but to stand still.

In the bottom photo, you see a beautiful flowing line develop, and that Arabian stallionlike arch of neck, and that photo is exciting to US eyes and makes people want to use the dog here.

The woman who is sponsoring him during his North American visit has done a great job getting photos out there which make him look his best to North American eyes. I am among those who are eager to see him in the flesh because of the photos she has used for advertising.

On a different topic, Karen mentioned feet.  I do like to see a really good foot on a Whippet, how are the feet in other parts of the world?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

has anyone any feet pics? :thumbsup:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

I was just playing about with photos when I read this so here are some 6 month old feet. American/English bloodlines.

Nothing wrong with those. They could be a tad more hare and still be correct.

Our standard says "more hare than cat, but both are acceptable". My only issue with cat feet is that here they often seem to come along with a very upright pastern.

Change of pace---
The raw diet has become very popular in the US for Whippets. It mostly started with the racing folks, but now I'd say about 1/4 of our show people feed raw.

Is this a trend in the UK and Europe, too?

I feel the coat and skin quality of the UK dogs is superior. It's probably genetic, but am interested in how you feed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

My whippets were on totally raw diet for a few years, and that was the best thing I could do. They felt a lot better than on dry food (the best ones).

However, I don't see much difference in the coat. Although I do see a great difference in my cats' coat quality on raw and on dry food.

 

[TC]

He is half Belgian, the black brindle half    The other half is similarly bred to half of my black and white who has a wonderfully fine, smooth and silky coat.

Actually, he is 3/4 English 1/4 French bred!!!

Oh well, just going on what I was told lol, must be the 1/4 french bit that a bristly then (w00t) 8) :- "

lovely to hear about coats and how they look and feel, im frequently getting compliments on all my dogs coats and how shiny they are , even though mine are kennelled at night the kennels are very warm!!! 16-21 deg :b however i find with the kennels having a better air flow than modern home i do think the warmth combined with good ventilation is a contribution factor to healthy coats and skins , :thumbsup: mine are fed on a variety of food , redmills tracker being the biscuit / complete , along with fresh boiled salmon heads weekly, raw mince and chicken carcasses along with my infamous doggy stew :lol: i would say the only thing tracker lacks imo with my dogs is oil, thats topped up with oil of evening primose or sunflower oil :thumbsup:

 

[Natalia]

I agree colour could play a part, I was always told that predominately white dogs coat felt different in texture.Nicky

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

I had a blue and white bitch. The blue parts felt quite different than white ones. White hair was thicker and even a little longer than blue! It was clearly visible on her neck, where blue and white met.

I would agree with that because the litter I bred by the same French dog have not got particularly soft coats, nor does the half brother I have of said dog!! Fine skins but not soft coats!!

He's a mixture of UK and US lines with a touch of Scandinavia....

Having a guess I would think he carries Barnesmore and possibly Wolftone Viking.I think the handler could be Barbara Wayne. Looks better on American stack,the quarters look overdone on the other one.

 

[quintessence]

There's a clue on both of the photographs :thumbsup:

wow congrats to who ever owns that dogs, what a cracker. I'd take him home any time

 

[maggie217]

It really shows what stacking in a certain manner, and other handling too, can do for a dog. He is a lovely dog anyway imo but that second photo - WOW :- "

Pol. Ch. Tylko Ty Viking's Pride?

Am I right? :thumbsup:

Had looked at these pics the other day again noticing the difference in presentation. Lovely dog.

Cheers

 

[anniewhippet]

Hi back again......computer/connection had a wobbly :rant:

Striking dog and yes the different 'stacks' are very interesting, agree about the more 'UK' one making him look over done behind but regardless....striking. Lovely lines.......

 

As to food, we feed a good quality complete, plus raw chicken, scrambled eggs, sometimes rabbit or other game/meat, tin tuna, veg as/when possible, what they 'steal :- " few treats, sometimes a nice cuppa, sometimes goats milk, well a bit of this and a bit of that really...........

 

 

ps Pages back I made a comment about breed specialists/breed judges, it was not a query (as such) from me but just picking up on a previous post..... :lol: so ignore as its ages ago..........and not intended as serious discussion :thumbsup:

I've been trying to login for the whole day, but I'am finally here.

Yes, the dog is Pol. Ch. Tylko Ty Viking's Pride "Ketil", by Ch. Wolf Tone Viking out of Ch. Barnesmore Hocus Pocus and he's bred and coowned by me. Temporarily living with and being handled by Joanne Boudreault, ForgetMeNot, Canada. Thank you very much for all kind words about him! I didn't expect he could be recognized but it's very nice to hear so. If you are interested, you are mostly welcome to my website www.tylkoty.com to see more pictures of Ketil
