I was wondering about how much you would spend on your dog in a year? For everything, food, vet, toys etc. I'm looking at getting a whippet but I like being prepared. Thanks

Hey everyone, I was just wondering which greyhound rescue everyone uses/used? Especially if they are in NSW Thank you

I know someone who worked for Real Insurance and not only no one who works there uses their own products, they warn their friends and families against using them. Just a warning

Well, I’ve finally convinced my housemate that a whippet is a great idea and now I’m getting everything organised. I wanted to know what type of bed and size everyone’s whippet’s use. Also if they are crate trained, crates take up a lot of room and I’m wondering if I make room or if I should just get a bed. I don’t know anyone who has a whippet and you all have been such a great help, thank you. :D

Hey, Sorry to bother everyone again, I’m trying to convince my house mate that a whippet is better for us then a poodle. I love poodles but I’ve already had two and I wanted to try something different and a whippet seemed perfect. What it keeps coming down to is shedding. I wanted to know exactly how much shedding they do? When my poodles got older I might have found between 5 and 10 hairs a week. Can you tell where they have slept thanks to the hair they leave behind like my Nan and Pop’s Jack Russell? Can people tell you have a dog by your clothes? Thank you everyone, I would love any feedback you can give me :D

Hello again Everyone, Getting a dog is getting closer so I’m wondering where everyone got their whippets? How old they are? And if you have ever had any medical problems with them? And if you would use the same people again if you decide to get another whippet? Especially if you live in NSW. There are some great sites for different kennels but none have references from past adopters or talk about how the puppies are raised. Thank you for any help or advice in advanced. :D

Thank you Haredown. I assure you the only reason any dog I get wont be sleeping in my bed is everyone says its a bad idea. Having a dog that want to be always with its humans is one of the reasons Ive been looking at them. I could never exile a dog outside, I dont see a point in getting one then.

Thank you again OSoSwift. Thats great news, my biggest worry was the recall but I'm planning to train from the moment I get him or her, Ill just make that one of the first things.

Thank you Whippetsmumand and OSoSwift I feel much better. I think I will have to see what the dog is like before taking it to the local dog parks, they only have the shorter fences. I was also wondering if you crate train and what size would be best for a whippet? Thank you again

I've been looking at buying a whippet for a while but I just want to make sure I would be right for one. I read that a whippet can jump 5-6 feet? What size fence is high enought to safely keep one in? In winter do they need to wear booties? I live in sydney so it never snows but it does get quite cold. And what sort of diet do you feed an adult? At the moment I just want a general idea. Thank you everyone for the help :D
