Can't believe Paddy stayed at 22lb, he was the same as Lucy for ages and she's gone up to 25lb now and still going.

Loving the colouring - waiting for someone to ask what kind of dog he is lol

At the seaside on Sunday a little girl said to her Dad, "Look Daddy ! Labradors !"

Now I know Jessica's a bit overweight, but LABRADOR :lol:

We have been told that Paddy looks like an african wild dog!!!!!!!!!!! He has stuck at that weight for over 4 weeks now, think its too much to ask him to stop there lol

Hi

Glad to hear Tanzy is keen to race, it is a beautiful litter Linda and Lennie have bred from Skye and I look forward to see them racing, but please do ease off with her no matter how keen she is or loves it, It is far to early for her to race from the traps to the line at such a young age (not yet six months) I would hate to see her seriously injured before her racing career gets started, I apologise if this is not the case and I have miss read your post, I hope tha the latter is true.

Best Wishes

Dave

You said what I thought dave. hate to see her get hurt.

 

[Lenny2]

Its nice that you keep us informed Dave, But have to agree with Will4, Tanzy needs to mature, its good that she is keen & she will still be as keen in a few months time. We know what its like to lose a pup at a young age & would hate to think that it could happen again. Cheers & good luck with her

With all due respect tanzy is now 6 months and we have been following the guidance of pauline wilsons book on rearing and racing of whippets which suggests running them from 4 and half to 5 months over a distance of 15 to 20 yds and gradually increasing that distance which we have done. We have realised that tanzy is not quite able to run full distance and will be dropping her back to 15 to 20 yds. We have been running her on her individual abillity as she has taken to it quite quickly.

Everyone has there own opinion of when is the best time to start them and it is difficult to know whos opinion is best to follow having not been in the sport long. So we are letting tanzy show us if she is ready or not and changing our pratices according to how well or not so well she does.
