Hi I have one brindle boy whippet pup left from my bitches litter of 5. Own both parents and work and race both (do very well at both). Pup has had first set of jabs and will be ready to go at 10 weeks (19th Nov). Asking £325, is a quality pup from good stock. Let me know if you are interested. Dan

Most importantly, recall, getting recall fixed early on will stand you in good stead for the rest of its life. And once its got sit teach 'wait' - essential too atb with it

Hi, My bitch has just had a litter of 6 pups - they are pure whippet - no other blood in them, but if you're just after something to run on the bunnies then you couldn't do much better, I own both the sire and the dam and they're both quick, clever and game. The Sire is 22'' tts, Dam 21.5'' so pups should be a decent size. PM me if you're interested. Don't want a lot for them. Dan

Sorry? is that too me? I have two whippets (I've posted about before on here) 11 months & 14 months Dan

I know this question was asked before - but there wasn't a lot of actual info about the breed in the replies, for a relative newbie like me - so I thought I'd start it again in the hope I could get some, less contentious, opinions I'm thinking about getting a terrier to use to flush rabbits from cover to my whippets. As well as this the dog I would want would need to tick the following boxes 1) Be KC reg - yes I know many will sneer at this - and I understand all of the reasons why, however hunting with my dogs is hobby for ME. The misuses (and the kids) enjoy the showing (and fair /

Got the day off tomorrow and hoping the nice weather holds. Planning to take the dogs out for a walk around and a bit of a mooch. Anyone fancy coming along for a a chat and to exercise the mutts? In Buckinghamshire (round Buckingham way) Let me know Dan

Yes, the knuckles should pretty much vanish -you may see a small, fairly regular bump there (as opposed to the more pronounced and slightly uneven bumps of the growth plate) - which would be the joint end of the bone itself. But often they disappear completely. Growth in sighthound type dogs often isn't completely finished until around the 18 month mark, and you can get spurts up to about a year old. Usually after that (but not always)the growth rate really slows and you'd but lucky to see much more than an inch in height gained, but the dog will 'fill out' as muscle growth takes over.

Hi, Sounds like you may have the wrong charger. I think these batteries use a jack (as opposed to spade type) connection to charge? It may be that the polarity of the charger does not match the polarity of the battery (look at the symbol on the charger and on the battery and see if they match - will be two horizontal lines opposite each other - one ending in a ball , the other in a C shape which goes around the ball at the end of the other line, with a + and - symbol above each - need to be same way around on the charger and the battery Or, the charger may be the wrong AMP rating for t

Growth plates are the areas at the end of every bone from which, simply put, new bone grows outwards - allowing the bone to lengthen (its an area of specialised cartilage). Once growth has finished (i.e. the animal is an adult) the growth plates are replaced by normal solid bone. In some of the long bones (at the ends of the arms and legs i.e. wrists and ankles) the growth plates can be quite visible - such as the 'knuckles' in whippets and some other running dogs. The size of the growth plate does not really give any clear indication of the size the dog might reach, but they can be a good

I have spent bit of my life travelling across North Africa, and saw some of the guys out there working Azawakh dogs - a very lean, very hippy (i.e. raised back and pronounced hips) sighthound. They were bloody fast, very rugged, always seemed to have stamina to burn and had a huge prey drive. I always thought they would make a good lurcher (they hate the cold apparently so would have to be crossed with something with a bit of a coat I guess) and was wondering if anyone had heard / seen a lurcher with this breed in it working - how did it do and what else was in it? just out of interest rea

Hi Do the batteries come with chargers? What do you want for the Striker Lamp, filter and 1 battery? (posted) ta Dan

Alright mate, can I have a bit more details please. What model lightforce lance is it, and does it include a battery? cheers Dan

Oh - should probably add for scale, the legs in the pictures are those of my 7 year old son - not mine

Thanks, the dog is, the bitch is proving more difficult - she gets very very focused on them as the move around and its can be difficult to break that focus. Getting there though
