Sell it and buy a proper lurcher ......

Good luck with the whippet mate. My 1st dog was a whippet got me into hunting this site nearly putt me off with all the posturing but the whippet kept me hunting and it didn't take me long to see that

I'd say 'don't listen to 99.9 % of the 'experts' on here and just enjoy your pup for what it is

He's only young he'll get over it. But from my experience they like a close bond. Mine would follow me like a shadow. Never had to train to walk to heal he did it naturally.I learned very quickly not to take a step back after washing dishes or prepping food as he'd be stud right behind me. Oh and don't leave anything on the surface your whippet could reach because it will probably take it.

I work a whippet. He coming up 10 month and just had him ferreting and small ammount of lamping. He is a good ferreting dog and has a cracking nose. After keeping lurchers for years before getting the whippet I still think that there is something missing.

Aint that the truth i swore if i ever got another id call it shadow, Some times i had to look down to see if it was still on the lead, wish i had a quid for every time ive stepped back on the dog, Anyway enjoy i know i have with the ones ive owned.

Ill keep that in mind all so is it good thing or a bad thing he keeps crying for me when i leve the room hope i dont a crying whippet when its older

It's a good thing imo, seperation anxiety. If you take that into the field then he will always be looking to get back to you after a run. This fooker what I got still follows me all over the house, probably waiting for me to put my boots on :thumbs:. I used to hide from him as a young pup and watch him stressing looking for me, he's spot on and is straight back to me after a long run.
