Hi,
I am considering purchasing a whippet puppy some time in the future months, however this will be my first dog.
I have researched the breed and its characteristics to an extent, and have decided they sound perfectly lovely, but I am unsure as to where to go to get myself a puppy - as I want it for a companion, as oppose to racing or showing, so am not averse to getting a runt or slightly defective dog.
I live in York, North Yorkshire (and am finding it difficult to find breeders close by) and wondered if anyone had any general advice on getting hold of a puppy, or a reputable litter, or anything that might help a first time dog lover really!!
Many Thanks,
Chris
