And when the next one doesn't fit your complete lurcher bill - what do you do then? Give it away and get another and another and another!!!! Hopefully the dog is somewhere it's appreciated. I live with my dog's quirks and ebrace their qualities.In more than 30 years I haven't 'passed on' or sold a running dog - they only leave here to go to the great hunting ground in the sky through old age or injury. No disrespect to beddy whippets- one of the pluckiest dogs I ever saw was a wee beddy x whipp but if, as you say, you were looking fo a complete lurcher why plump for a beddy x whipp in the firs
