I don't know if anyone remembers----- but we were looking for a whippet and we live in France. we have a lovely little boy. Originally we were looking for a bitch, but the French whippet rescue turned up a little dog with a very sad story and when we saw him we fell in love immediately ---- isn't it always the way when you see an animal that is needy!!! He is the sweetest little thing you ever saw and our old lurcher took to him straight away. We are so lucky. Whisky has settled as if he has always been with us. He takes pride of place on the bed!!! So many thanks to all who posted with ideas.
