raz Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Then........ You have the type of Whippets mine are........ Visitors come into the house and they are jumped on - by one in particular - I have to send them to their bed do they don't embarrass me totally, then they sneak off and are all over them again before you know it. Turn you back and they are sitting on your visitors lap getting their belly scratched. It's do embarrassing!!!!! I don't care if a paper is published, it was not a true representation of sighthounds and their temperment Sounds good to me. I love the fact sighthounds do that so dont be embarrassed. Just dont invite non doggy people over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shapeshifter Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Oso that is exactly the temperament of the whippet we met a few weeks ago and it's also what we're after in a whippet, likes to learn is so important, we have a cat that visits us and OH tries to teach him about getting things out of boxes, he has a look and a sniff and looks at him as if you say 'you have to be kidding don't you!'

Salukifan Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Yep and fleeing a Vizsla this time. As you can see this is one "shy" dog :cool: Is that THE Flick??? Wow! All grown up! Yep, the very same. Dodger loves playing with her but she really only has eyes for Howie. Edited May 4, 2013 by Haredown Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks for the pricing information, that is about what I was thinking when it came to costs, was confused a little when I kept seeing all the cheaper versions though so thought I'd ask :) Hey Shapeshifter, I think location has a lot to do with price. Some country people in out of the way areas tend to keep their prices modest in comparison to city prices. Just my observation. Perhaps they are trying to encourage people to drive out to them without adding petrol costs. :) We bought a lovely Whippet bitch on main Register for my mother in law 10 years ago for $350, I would expect to pay at least $800+ today for a Pet.

Daisys Mum Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I hope to have a Whippet one day along with quite a few other breeds . :laugh: 19 years ago I bought a Long Hair Miniature Daschund for $500 from a breeder... Now I would expect to pay 3 times that much. Edited May 4, 2013 by kiwigirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Everyone should experience a Whippet or ten in their lives. They are so easy compared to lots of breeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Everyone should experience a Whippet or ten in their lives. They are so easy compared to lots of breeds Only everyone that deserves one! Can't keep your temper? Don't want a dog inside? Can't train a dog that doesn't hang off your every word? Pick another breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJaq Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There is a whippet in my agility group, everybody is mesmerized when she does the course, it is equally amazing and adorable to watch this tiny, tidy bundle of muscles I find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shapeshifter Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm in love, the almost white whippet, I want one exactly the same :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm in love, the almost white whippet, I want one exactly the same :) that's a fairly uncommon colour here, it's a cream whippet. I dont think I've ever seen a pedigree cream in Australia, they've all been non peds I've seen. It's beautiful though isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
