Why is it a wind up? Some people have heat lamps in there kennels and other forms of heating

[bull101 35]

use to own a pair of whippets, kenneled them out side mate they where fine through out

they get that cold you have to keep them under your arm pit

[poacher3161 1,766]

Personaly i think they fare better in an indoor enviroment.A lot of the old miners i used to work with kept these dogs for the odd rabbit and racing on a sunday morning usualy at the miners welfare ground most kept them inside.But they are a lot tougher than their appearance suggests and if kept in draugh and damp free kennels i cant see their been a problem.atvb dell

my first post was a crank i keep whippets and race bwra always kept my dogs outside in nice coditions never found a problem keeping the dog at the right weight even with thier shit coats 90 percent of people think they have whippets are as hardy as any dog i have ever kept atb lucan

[Guest little lurcher]

mine are outside in heated kennels , you sleep in a warm bed dont you and work hard so why should your dogs , warm dry beds are important for any dog , dont coat mine at all even when out in freezing temps , but always have a warm bed at home , cut injury recovery times too , i use heat lamps and under bench green house heaters , approx 12-16 degs , less then 1p an hour to run

a real well bred working whippet will need no diferent trearment than any lurcher. in my kennels for all my dogs they have 1 inch kingspan in the walls 3 inch on the floor all covered in 2mm ply with a few layers of carpet nailed to a 2-1 batten frame fitted to the size of there bed and if that is a description of your whippet god help you, as my bitch is strong solid and built like a breeze bloke.

had a few whippets over the past 12 years kept 1 in da hoz and i think it made her soft

DEFINATELY A MISCONCEPTION THAT WHIPPETS CAN NOT STAND THE COLD ,THERE AS TOUGH AS ANY LURCHER/LONGDOG. HAD THEM BOTH.
