Ipswhip 17 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi all. Just wondering if any whippet men could help me with something that's been bugging me for a while now. I have an 18 month old whippet (dog). He's a great little lad but I just don't understand why he looks so much different to other whippets I see. Body wise he looks great but his ears are so big and always pricked up! It doesn't bother me but I am just curious really as every other whippet I see has different shaped ears. This is the link to his profile and picture on the whippet archives http://thewhippetarchives.net/details.php?id=179260 As you will see, he has a decent pedigree with some good lines in him. So just wondered where these ears come from? I have read that it is frowned upon when judging whippets at dog shows. I have no intention of showing him so that doesn't matter. I am just curious why my dog seems to be the only whippet with this type of ears? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post
