Looks like shes going to be a solid dog.

 

I've got a 12 wk kc whippet that i'm trying to teach fetching to without a whole lot of success... do you have any suggestion on how you taught to her?

 

cheers mate

Hi mate, yeah she's doing well, I had a good start with her as she loved to pick up the kids teddys from an early age, At About 12wks old I then moved outside with her and her toy as you see in the 1st video I use a narrow place the throw the toy making sure the pups kennel is behind me so when she retrieves it she will try and take it back to the kennel , I would reccomend doing this 2 or 3 times and don't over do it or the pup may get bored? I then move on to retrieving over an obstacle and so on, I praise her highly, sometimes using treats? The sit stay and retrieve tips I got from a friend who trains gun dogs.

Hope this helps mate
