Here is my MB working Whippet....................

she's 16mths and 21 1/2" tts...........

 

I would say though,that it sounds like you could start feeding him a bit of beef scraps and some lamb breast and every other day some meaty bones(beef brisket bones or lamb neck bones)just to give him a bit more chance to fill out a bit.Tripe is ok but it is about 85% water so not something that will give a lot to a dog(especially a working dog)heart is ok as is any other offal,but,in my opinion it should be fed at the same sort of % that you would find it in a carcase ie. 15-20% of the whole meal.Don't mean to preach mate,and all the best with him for the future..............Martin.
