Actually thinking back now, i met a few people by my house when i had first got my Whippet puppy, people said nice dog, etc you should try it, was skeptic, thinking back now, i remeber a man i met by a pump station, lovely pack, lurcher and a big bull x and i think another dog, not sure, the dog was huge and black, told me give the whippet ago, never seen him again for years untill i joined this site to find he only lived down the road!
