Gawd I think I have the only whippet that can't jump  :b

Lucky you :- " I've never encouraged them to jump, I've seen too many injuries caused that way They do eventually work it out unfortunately.

Gelert is a long jumper, he cleared our 20' diameter pond in pursuit of a cat once (his back toe just touched the mud (w00t) ), but doesn't really like going over even small fences. I think the puppy will be different, he had a go at jumping a stock fence when we were visiting Olivia and nearly made it :sweating:

You wouldn't think one was seven years and the other only seven months the way they play together. I have felt Gelert is beginning to look his age recently though, getting rather stout (for him) and going very grey I suppose it's the 'distinguished' look :- " :lol:

Only if you're a whippet though. Wish I could get away with being 'distinguished' (rather than just fat and grey :- " :b :lol: )

We have a Nikon D50. We bought it from Jessops and took the option of going for a better lens than the standard one - AF-S Nikkor 18-70. The standard lens is supposedly a bit less crisp, and the zoom only goes to 50. I think Nikon have now brought out the D40, which seems to be pretty much as good in most respects but cheaper and smaller.

Yes,Brilliant pics :thumbsup: Can't believe how good jumpers they are (w00t)

:huggles: Fabulous piccies - the boys look as if they're having a great time !! Do I have the only whippets that really dont mind going out in the rain ?? I mean if i pick up their leads they can't get out the door fast enough but if I open the back door and ask them to go out for a wee - oh no - that a whole different ball game !! They will race down the beach straight out into the sea, even at this time of year, but then will jump or pull around a puddle on the way back to the car !! Bizarre or perverse, I can't make up my mind !! :blink:

Well there is that :sweating: Leia could easily jump our garden fence if she realised - I deliberately omitted the big jumps when we used to do agilty with her. She was allowed to jump the same height as the border terrier :lol:

 

[robandkay]
