Hi all...so a delicate question as my BH has a different view....our friends have decided to buy this whippet .......looks like a beautiful pet.....can you tell us what you think?
Whippets are really just small grey hounds. They make lovely family pets but do need to be able to run about a bit and/or have a good walk each day.
Chicky - in Belgium I planted a 19m hedge of ilex aquifolium along part of the boundary between us and the cows in the pasture next door thinking it would be nibble proof. They very carefully leaned over the barbed wire fence and ate all the soft new growth every spring so I ended up with a short, fat hedge. Ended up having to put up a barrier of that wire mesh builders use for reinforcing concrete. Worked a treat and I got a shoulder height fat hedge.
Joyce - all out of oomph now but happy to share tomorrow.

The face says "please take me".......sorry don't know anything about whippets.
Lovely whippet! Like greyhounds too. Would love to adopt either breed but cannot now we have kittens!
I hear they make excellent companion pets.
