macsuibhne1969 0 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi All Can I kennel whippets together in one enclosure, and how do whippet crosses interact in this situation.. i.e. whippet/bedlington. Secondly, wat size of enclosure is suitable to house 3/4 whippets Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,543 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 The only time i'd keep dogs together is if they were pups. If you have 3/4 dogs in together they might not kick off but if/when they do its gonna be messy and probably leave you with a dead dog or two. It always surprises me how many people leave a load of dogs in one pen for long periods, they all need their own space at times. If I got stuck in a room all day with a load of people i'd probably end up chinning one or two too. Beddies can be feckers for scrapping too apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Would never kennel two dogs together, been there done it and made mistakes....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Never been one for kenneling more than 1 dog/bitch together...as has been stated..eventually you are going to end up with 1 huge vet bill or a dead dog or 2...might not happen yet..but believe me..it will happen eventually...knock a set of runs up and save yourself the stress...atb stabba Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mally 832 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 My whippets are kenneled together always have been and i've had no problems, maybe because they have all grown up together and are of sound temprement. I always kenneled my lurchers together too without any problems. I feed them seperated though as this is the time when problems could occur. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shushycatcher 219 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Used to kennel mine together,but during the season if i took one out the others would play up and the missus kept moaning while i was out!! Gave them thier own runs and everything changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
