I have a whippet from Fallswater in Ireland - Nimrodel lines if I've got it right.

 

He's 1yr old now. And a big lad for whippet. 21.5" or just a bit taller, solid and very sturdy.

 

I'm forever having to defend him - yes he IS a registered whippet. No he's NOT crossed with a collie, etc etc We were out yesterday with a friend who's got a whippet (no info on her lines, she's a rescue). Looks like a midget next to my lad, she's half his size and fragile looking in comparison.

 

He's never had so much as a scratch - knock wood. He's confident, outgoing, swims, dives into thick cover ... an excellent lad.

 

Anyhow, here he is

 

 

 

 

Not a whippet? I know that he is - but would you say the same?

 

Anybody else with whippets who are similarly built? Why are some so small delicate, and other big as a house (or is it just mine and he's a freak of nature? ).

yes ,fallswater are nimrodel,so theres no bull in that line as for big, compared to to some dogs out there masquerading as whippets hes not that big,he looks well lurchergirl

He probably just looks big standing next to Snoopdog................................................... I think he's a nice looking dog.

Theres a old saying that you always now the mother but the farther is a different matter . A mate of mine bought a pedigree dog then he was told by someone that they saw the bitch tied with her brother the day before she went to the stud dog. But that looks a cracking dog no matter what. So dont defend it be proud of it

Dennis looks realy well LG,

dont think i have ever seen a whip that strong ,

he looks to be big boned compared to the rest ive seen, nice markings too

if they were all that size i think alot more people would own them.
