sh 08 17 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Try putting the lead on her but not taking her anywhere just let her run round with it on. Also try and feed her with her lead on. im sure you will get there. The guy who you got her off never puts the dogs on a lead. Link to post Share on other sites
poacher3161 1,766 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 WHY is coulor so important????? And if i had the choice between a working whippet pup or a beddy/whippet i would go for the working whippet pup every time.atb dellIts just my preference as that exstra pace can make the difference between a rabbit in the bag were i mooch.Then again if pure whippets wer not exstorsianate prices i would have one instead of my beddy/grey/whippet atb dell Link to post Share on other sites

And if i had the choice between a working whippet pup or a beddy/whippet i would go for the working whippet pup every time.atb dell Its not important bud just my preferance, and every one has favorite cross/breed, weather its for looks or attitude or how good they work, there all equally valid points. My dogs gonna be firstly a well loved family pet, as thats what comes first to me, then a worker, so everyone needs to be happy, (even if that involves ) I do like pure whippets though.

Wallop 2 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 ive got a 35 yr old stubbern bitch lo SNAP!! Dont worry too much nailer, its still very early days, ya pups had a big change by the sound of it, id let her settle in a for a bit then im sure it will all fall in to place. exactly... nailer are you keeping her indoors or outside??? If shes indoors just spend plenty of time with her but letting her do her own thing. If she's outside let her in the kitchen so she can get used to you and the misses. then just put a bit of routine into her life like feed her at the same time, that sort of thing and as I said plenty of contact. She'll come good mate you'll see Link to post Share on other sites
