Millet 4,497 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I know someone who taped a dog's arse up year's ago because it would not stop farting in the car.. ..maybe you could do that to the pup's nose.. .. Joke by the way.. That wasnt Darcys car, dog shit makes the car smell better not worse! lol Now that you mention it something has jogged my small memory..the last time i was in that van of his i had to walk through a car wash followed with a good dose of frontline..

sandymere 8,263 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 It's the new thing, a well aimed cork can take the eye out of a rabbit at fifty paces after a week of SupenutraC! Quote Link to post
Catcher 1 639 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have a 6 month old whippet and recently whilst walking him I have seen the odd bunny. However, he doesn't notice them as he is always too busy sniffing the ground. Is this common in young pups? Its posts like this.That make you wonder.Who do these people learn off if anyone.

jukel123 9,035 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Maybe they ain't got anyone to show them the score so they ask questions on here? I think we all do from time to time. Quote Link to post

On a serious note.. they is nothing wrong with a pup sniffing the floor..for all you know they could of been a bunnie there 2min's before you arrived..it's all new to him and what he learn's now will benifit him in the future.. If you are worried about him doing it when he is older use a shorter lead and once he has worked out what his mince pie's are for you will see a different dog..just be patient..rome was not built in a day... ..or so they say..

Ipswhip 17 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 This is the first dog i have ever owned and i am new to it all. I didnt say i let him off the lead to chase things. Even with my limited knowledge i know thats not sensible at his age. as i said, i have never owned a dog before and i thought i asked a reasonable question. i admit i dont know much about dogs and would like to learn, hence the reason why i joined this forum. A whippet is a sighthound and i just thought its a bit strange that hes constantly got his nose to the floor rather than looking around whilst walking. Considering the fact i know very little about dogs i dont think my question was as stupid as some of you are making out. some people on here are brilliant and very helpful so thanks to you guys for your advice. To the people who know it all and are giving me a hard time for asking a question- you are very lucky that you were born with such a vast wealth of knowledge. it must have been brilliant to grow up and learn things without having to ask people questions. 1 Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 He will use his eye's when he need's to and his nose when he need's to use that. .i go out with a Whippet now and again and his nose is unbelievable for finding thing's.. .. Quote Link to post
