dirtwinger 235 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Back in the eighties I handreared a whippet, she had no instinct to suckle and couldnt get on a teat even with help. She was affectionatly named "Cretin" and was a lot of work. She was raced and never amounted to much, pet grade at most was all you could say for her. my only experience of handrearing thank god! all the best Dirtwinger Quote Link to post
