natter79 17 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 i've never been a whippet fan for the simple reason that i just think they look/act too fragile, however a guy near me has one and it runs with his lurcher's anything they face this whippet faces first (sheer speed). i now look at them differently and if i had the space i'd have one tomorrow. cracking little dog's atb natter Quote Link to post
