You've just about described my lurcher. But mine I've had from a pup. Fear aggression (barking at the tv, other dogs etc) is probably nothing to do with previous owners and is just how the dog is. Perhaps why previous owners gave up on him? As he matures and has more experience, you will see a decline in behaviour but it will always be there... a headache really as you never know how they will react every given day. Eating rabbits... I'd lay down the law every time he does it, even go as far as leave a whole rabbit out in the yard and chastise if he tries. He only gets to eat anything lik

Slowly, slowly. Still not bad considering I was casting a shadow and she glowed like a Persil advert I can already see her condition looking better, but still shoddy. Her heat has really knocked her this time.

Another quickie. Two out of three for Cap, ran much better than last night but puffed after the third. Gus got one from three slips (four runs) he still has a great deal to learn.

There's plenty wrong with her, missing toe, knocked up toes, broken sesamoid etc etc. But she always battles on. She's not long had a season, and she hasn't been exercised as much as she should. I'll take her out now most nights, just a few runs to get her fitness up, if she still isn't right then, I'll def get her to the bone man She's not showing any sign of lameness etc today, I think it's just being out of condition. As for Gus, he's in a permanent state of excited happiness

He has a teeny bit of collie in him, apparently it's common for them. Just bloody bad luck!

Hip dysplasia Shaaark.

Thank you.

White one is a kc whippet. Red one is mainly whippet/Irish terrier.

Well that was a night of two halves! Never started this late in the season, but for one reason and another that's what happened. Cap, I knew she wasn't work fit but didn't expect her to be this bad, never known her this bad. Only one from about five runs, so brought her straight home. Gus on the other hand.... I decided this year to try to keep him lamping even with his HD. He's fit, and the fitter I can keep him the better he will be, but I know there are limits so I decided I'll still take him out, but limit him to 3 runs only each time. I will of course assess him each time and if I

Completely agree. I seem to have, and have seen the opposite to other people on here. I've found whippet dogs want to please and once over that young twat stage are a joy, whereas whippet bitches are extremely head strong, not just mine I hasten to add. Found them to be equal work wise but dog had a teeny bit more stamina and strength. But, my experiences might have been just the luck of the draw. Lurchers I found bitches to be better?!

I think she's about 19" Yes.... https://whippet.breedarchive.com/animal/view/bonnie-blue-bonnet-f34457ee-79c9-46b1-974b-795222d3e5e3

It's horses for courses. I've worked lurchers, bull x's and whippets. I've been out many times with other lurcher types. I currently work smaller dogs/whippets here as dogs that take longer to get into their stride or think too much are never going to catch much. I need a dog quick off the mark that can cover the ground before the prey notices. I've noticed over the years a lot of people who slate whippets have never actually owned or worked them...or perhaps briefly had one. I've never had a whippet suffer or fail to work because of poor weather, their prey drive is huge, not m
