Thanks for that Manda - I have to admit to rarely reading the paper, so would never have seen this :thumbsup:

Hope you enjoyed the Whippet Club show the other week, sorry we didn't get to speak more )

typical Independent pap "Now they're a domestic pet for the middle class"

 

[T Hoare]

Oh yes didn't you all us whippet folk are middle class, how la di da. Don't make me laff :teehee:

Good article in general though, not seen a whippet in that pose before (w00t)

THE FAWN ON THE NUDE WAS BRED BY ME and the brindle by paula potts they are not at all middle class lol

 

[Eceni]

They may be middle class (who cares?) but I thought the photography was stunning. And rather they photographed whippets than, say, Bulldogs or GSDs or anything else (except possibly lurchers )

and

thanks to all who were so kind at the show - it was an astonishing education in all possible respects.

"Whippets used to be bred for their good eyesight and speed; now the criteria are largely cosmetic"

so she went to a few shows had a chat and wrote crap like that, i think shes better sticking to photography

 

[meddling]

Bit of a laugh though trying to tell us that whippets are not beneath us but our equals everyone knows that Whippets are far superior to people (w00t)

SHE did have fun but also a lot of frustration, she shot my dogs for twelve dogs twelve bitches and used two pics also terrance her own starswift aeriel storm but some of mine were very unruly and didnt like standing or posing.(casper) my stubborn old boy wasnt having any and in one shot she did get of him he looked like a gremlin (w00t)
