Hi there. My boyfriend and I are looking for an adult whippet, and I wondered if anyone here has any advice about looking. We've applied to JR Whippet Rescue, and I've heard they can have quite a long waiting list, which is okay because we're happy to wait for the right dog (though we're ready to take one sooner too). We have an enclosed garden, and both work mostly from home, so would be around with it almost always. We also both spend a lot of time in the countryside, so lots of lovely walks. If anyone does happen to know of any adult dogs that have come back to breeders for rehoming, I'd love to know. I'm also worried about how you avoid inadvertantly buying a stolen dog - I can't think of anything worse. Anyway, any help would be so appreciated. Ideally (like the rest of the world!) we'd like a brindle and white bitch, but temperament is much more important. Phew, long post! Thanks.

Hi welcome to k9,

I understand what you mean about buying someone elses dog, have a look in the lost/missing dogs section and avoid all those you see there , also you could ask the seller to meet you at a vets who will scan the dog for any microchip and can check the ownership.

Hopefully it won't be long before you get what you're after and you'll be having a great time with her

:luck: in your search
