England Whippets Tips

[ShropshireLad88 20]

Something I remember reading when I was doing whippet research was they can be car blind and to watch them around roads. It's how I lost my whippet at 4. Got hit my an ambulance of all things.

Ill keep that in mind all so is it good thing or a bad thing he keeps crying for me when i leve the room hope i dont a crying whippet when its older

He's only young he'll get over it. But from my experience they like a close bond. Mine would follow me like a shadow. Never had to train to walk to heal he did it naturally.I learned very quickly not to take a step back after washing dishes or prepping food as he'd be stud right behind me. Oh and don't leave anything on the surface your whippet could reach because it will probably take it.

I work a whippet. He coming up 10 month and just had him ferreting and small ammount of lamping. He is a good ferreting dog and has a cracking nose. After keeping lurchers for years before getting the whippet I still think that there is something missing.

Aint that the truth i swore if i ever got another id call it shadow, Some times i had to look down to see if it was still on the lead, wish i had a quid for every time ive stepped back on the dog, Anyway enjoy i know i have with the ones ive owned.

It's a good thing imo, seperation anxiety. If you take that into the field then he will always be looking to get back to you after a run. This fooker what I got still follows me all over the house, probably waiting for me to put my boots on . I used to hide from him as a young pup and watch him stressing looking for me, he's spot on and is straight back to me after a long run.

It'll all come to you,but for now just don't forget to oil his paws before you let him run and regularly check if his nose is cold but not wet and stop straight away and offer him some weak beer if it is.

 

Good luck
