Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Looks like it can run already, how old is the pup Somewhereyournot. I've just got a fist x Beddy/Whippet 9 week old now can't wait to get him out for his first walks..,,wishing his life away hahashe's just gone 10 weeks old mate and she is like lightening compared to lurcher pups at same age. She's all for me like my shadow the misses hates it ? Ye will be worked a little bit.. She's from a bitch 20 inch and a dog 22.5tts. Bitcg is rabbiting bitch and seen faster ones too. The dog is supposed to have done quite alot especially for a whippet but he defo a strong type. The pic does make her look abit thin.. Duno if it was lighting and her sniffing or what. Cheers for the comments. Quote Link to post
Who let the dogs out! 223 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 This is my beddyx whippet x collie x grey 15 weeks 16 tts Nice strong looking pup Quote Link to post
BGD 6,436 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 That's a nice looking pup but I'd agree it's a touch on the lean side for it's age, I assume it's a very active young thing? I'd try increasing the fat content of it's feed see if that helps. Just mix a couple of lumps of dripping through it's usual feed during the day Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 That orijen grub is 38 per cent protein and 20 per cent fat and it's 85 /15ratio food. Basically raw in a bag with veg. 5 meals a day, not overly active really. She has of tail through the day aswell as some Turkey wing... She eats enough really and won't eat any more lol I wormed her just the other day. Not alot you can do is it when there on best biscuit available and added raw lol 1 Quote Link to post
BGD 6,436 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Just saying if I had a pup that was that lean I'd be adding some fat to it's feed regardless of the quality of biscuit, of course that's only going by a picture you're the one seeing her every day and if you're happy with her condition etc than crack on as you are Quote Link to post
thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,529 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 To much protein can make them loose weight and grow to quick which is not good for the skeleton, joints and ligaments, if your feeding plenty of raw I would feed a lower protein complete or pasta instead as a mixer 1 Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 It's not a complete and I don't feed pasta when dogs need fat n protein as energy source. I thought she was fine until few comments about the picture so checked up weights on whippets as pups n weighed her and she's bang on weight for age, if not abit heavier than others. Don't mean to sound rude boys but I never asked advice on feeding. Iv done just fine for years and all my dogs have been big healthy n strong lol appreciate the thought though ? 5 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 46,259 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 38% protein bit much for a pup imo, give Martin the meatman a ring and bang some chicken backs in to her, nice pup by the way. Atb dc Quote Link to post
tb25 4,627 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Some dogs are just like it no matter how much You feed..Looks Well..i like it. Quote Link to post
neems 2,406 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 She's a nice looking little pup,but does look thin especially in the back legs. It could just be the angle and lighting,or she might just need to get the worms out her system. 1 Quote Link to post
Who let the dogs out! 223 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Right, the guy has clearly said he's fed as much as the puppy will take. He's wormed it he's done what we all would do. It is what it is. Looks racey now and will look racey when it's older. Ffs! 1 Quote Link to post
