not got whippets but have got two old bullmastiffs,and they only had wooden flooring for a couple of years they soon learned that going slower is faster in the long run.and it,s a blessing when they knock your drink over... :cheers:

we have got laminate through the living room and dining room to the back door and if not covered mine can slip if they are ''havin a madun''

i have got 2 great jute type rugs that are 5ft x 7ft, they are absolutely perfect, don't shead fluff and are really easy to clean, i just take them outside clip them to the washing line and power hose them (w00t)

[Whippets Rule]

Sadly my lurcher and my boxer both slip on laminate flooring and my lurcher has hurt himself twice.

Recently one whippet also fell over and hurt his leg so we have pulled up the flooring and gone back to carpet.

For the lurcher particularly it was a problem and he won't even tread on lino in the kitchen unless he has to which he did tonight and promptly slipped straight over.

Too risky for my oldies in my experience.
