fieldsman 51 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 What a carry on no dog of any breed has the ability to gain an inch in height just because there fit. They do stretch then drop a bit once mature but never have i heard the likes of gaining and losing an inch due to fitness. Either way a 23" whippet is 2" over breed standard be aswel with a lurcher. 22" is the breed max.1/2" over would result in a disqualification in a show ring .These dogs probably will never see a show ring so it wont matter.I bred a 24" Whippet from a 21" sire and a 18" dam to big to show but still a Whippet a very good all rounder .
