My 5 1/2 month collie whippet has perfect recall even when he is legging it away from me 50 yards away he comes as soon as I call, but when there are other people or dogs around he takes no notice and just runs up to them and returns in his own time which is quite embarassing. Will he grow out of this or does it need nipping in the bud now?
I have the chance to buy a 8 month old beddy whippet greyhound from poachers pocket lines, anyone heard of these lines? It is only 18.5 tts for some reason and its litter mates have all made over 22. Can anyone suggest any reason for this and if I was to breed from it in the future with a beddy whippet greyhound would the pups only make a similar height? It is totally un-spoiled and from a genuine dog man that I know, only reason for sale is that he wants something 22 tts or more.
I had a bedlington about 15 years ago when my mates had lurchers and tried it on the lamp but wasn't anywhere near fast enough. Was good at flushing for the lurchers tho!
Out of curiosity what weight is your pup, just I have a 4 month collie(1/4) x whippet(3/4) that is 16 inches tts and is 18 pound in weight and im wondering how he compares to straight whippets in build.
I have a 4 month old whippetx and everything is good and I will not be working him till he's about a year old but have been invited out lamping with a friend. Would it spoil the dog to take him along keeping him on the lead just for a walk out, or should I leave him at home?
