Hello there, thought I would stop lurking and introduce you to Bonzo (dog doo-dah band) although have a feeling that a couple of you may know him already

 

Bonzo (dog doh-dah band) again

 

He's greyhound/Saluki x whippet and will be trained up and worked by a friend of mine when he's older than his 7 weeks on this world.

 

His chart (yup another one descended from Lucky the dark destroyer) any information you could give me on his relations would be most helpful, his whippet side in particular.

all the information you want is on the whippit archieves http://thewhippetarchives.net/search.php

Thank you for the link, I feel for his breeder, he mated her with another pedigree whippet only to have her jumped by her son's dog as well and they came out All Wrong. 9 dogs, no bitches an all.

Kev's whippet bitch is unbelievably stunning, even after pups her condition is fantastic and her temperament is amazing. I've never seen a bitch still so devoted to her pups at 7 weeks, she had to be shooed out of the pen with pups still attached (no milk though) and hid behind the sofa watching what I was doing, then as soon as we left the room she jumped right back in with them.

I never seen the whip bitch but my mate did!

I really wanted one of the salxwhipxgreys tbh, well that's what i sent my money down for when they had just popped out an hour before, but when he checked them as you know their was no bitches, he new i was sick so brooksey took a dog salxwhipxgrey and let me have his salxgrey bitch pup, my mate who took me down ended off buying a pup from the whip litter just off what was said about diesel and he's hard to please, but what i've seen and being told we should all end off with good workers as the breeding's their! !

lad who had ordered 5 out of his sons salxgrey litter has just pulled out, just turned 8 weeks yesta mines unreal the drive on her mint pups from both litters!

glad you posted the ped on your pup as was going to ask my mate to see his but don't need to now! let me know how you get on with pup

When did he pick the pup up? I picked up mine on Friday the 4th and it would be interesting to know how a couple of the ones I didn't pick turns out. The other big black and white one was a feisty stubborn little begger and the non-reserved silvery pup was quite nervy when picked him up so it would be interesting to see how they progress.

 

edit: Bonzo is fantastic with his toileting, he goes outside whenever he is let out and if he can't wait then he dashes to the newspaper and only goes on there, I suspect that's entirely down to how Kev kept the pen so clean, he was the least smelly pup I've encountered.

It was the 29th when i went down! my mate got ablack one with a long body with a white crested on its chest! i remember the black one and the silvery one shy as f**k

the one my mate got was mad could not give a f**k, went to sleep in the car on the way back and settled right in when we got home!

Took Bonzo a while to stop clinging to me but he's bold as brass now, very clever little thing as well he worked out in a few hours that if he sat between my feet in the kitchen then the big bouncy dog wouldn't come near him. Now he's found the spot under the table that he can leap out at her from and if she tries to get him back she bangs her head. Still not learned his name but Kev taught them to come on command by putting his hand down to the floor and he remembers it.

I know I gush over him a lot but he really is the brightest little thing, my border collie is still young herself and has the attention span of a fly so it's a pleasant surprise. Downside is there is no fooling him when his dinner is being made, he actually smelt it from 3 rooms away and started whining tonight. He also has "issues" with separation and howls if he's left on his own. Unfortunately my children have been ill with this nasty bug since Monday which is astonishing timing but tomorrow they go back to school and I can start with the crate training proper and get the wailing out of the way when they are not there.

mines the same smart as f**k when it comes to food, if i eat any sort of meat its looking at me screaming on wanting it! can't leave her alone aswell , shes in with the older pup and never hear a sound out of her, but i put her in her cage and she go's mad for a bit then settles down, she got to 3:30am on her own last night! then she would not shut up so put her in with the other pup!

He just had his first success. I'm so proud. Cat was under the bed waiting for me to depart so he could try and eat the hamster, sent the pup under it and told him to sit a few feet in, he sat there barking at the cat who looked at me like like "that thing is 1/3 my size" and ran away, I then called the pup back.

Crate training is going well, he finally got the message and stopped howling after 5 mins and is now happy to go in there.
