littlefish 587 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Littlefish, Maybe I could have wordrd it better, I was just surprised how clever Whippets are, being a sight hound. I know on a hunting site, obedience classes would be laughed at. But the course was cheap, was good for the dog. And have to admit, much to my surprise, I enjoyed it. Absolutely.... I believe sighthounds/lurchers are underestimated when it comes to the brain department, it just takes input from the handler to get the best out of them. I know I felt right and smug when mine was showing up the collies and labs at times..... :D ....say nothing , just smile smugly......... sometimes the people most surprised at their ability is the class trainers who are used to mostly working with the collies and labs.
