One of my whippets .....

One of my bitch's this is what a fit whippet should look like.

sorry but i dont like the shape of that dog

[fresh earth 47]

For what reason ? she is 18.5" 22 lb and exactly what the breed standard states a whippet should be . She works day and nite on the lamp with ferrets and long nets jumps like a bullx and retrieves i couldnt ask for more. Out of curiousity id like to see the shape of whippet you do like .

over most things with ease ? how many whippets have you seen jump farm gates and work a long net properly ?

 

As for breed standard i can asure you the breed standard for whippets was set a long time before the show lines wrecked the breed. Exactly what experience do you have of the breed ? i run my dogs at 3 clubs and have owned raced and bred these dogs for 15 years so i can asure you i know a decent whippet when i see one.

 

As i say could you post a picture of the type of whippet you class as a good one then ? i dont care where the picture comes from search google ? just would be nice to see what your comparing with.

if a whippet cannae jump a gate, then its useless imo

[itsme 7]

i cant do pictures,look sorry if i offended you,you put a picture of a dog up telling us thats how a whippet should look

i disagree thats it,

[fresh earth 47]

i agree but 9 out of ten whippets i have seen on here lately couldnt jump the step to my kennel never mind a 5 bar gate .

[fresh earth 47]

You havent offended me in the fact you dont like her shape i also dont like alot of whippets but mainly due to the fact the majority are over weight and over sized nowadays i just meant if i seen the type of whippet you considered what the breed should look like i could compare.

 

The picture in my avatar was taken by her previous owner before i bought her last year.

that wee whippet done more than her fair share, was worked as hard as her weight/size an the fact that she lost too much condition wae hard regular graft, would allow

 

she was honest an worked hard, but not in same league as a lurcher
