I'll also give his whiskers a trim, underneath (bedside his crown jewels (w00t) )and any other areas that may need a small trim
didnt mean to upset anyone about the trimming of the whiskers thing, Keano has a couple of whiskery looking things which are hard to describe where they are, but they are not on his face (kinda underneath) and i think they are of no use to him (but if they are i wont do it again) so i give them a trim and nothing else. I would never do anything that is cruel to him  :wub: cause he is my little baby :wub:

You are most likely talking about the hairs coming out of their warts? (or what I call their warts...I am sure there is a technical term for them,I just don't know it :b ) I too trim those off as they are not used like the whiskers and it just tidies their faces up a little by trimming them off.

i was wanderning when is the best time to wash a whippet before a show? I tend to wash keano a day or two before.  But was told to wash him a 5 days before to allow the oil to get back into his coats.  What is best? :cheers:

If I was to wash my lot 5 days before they would have to live in bags until the show as they would be filthy again!! :lol:

Mine get done the night before.

Same with mine!

I only trim tails and nails about 4 or 5 days before the show.
