air gun ant 1,666 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 What makes you think it's not a whippet?I expected a whippet puppy to look more whippet like - longer, leaner features.Obviously not as conditioned as an adult dog but, at least bearing some kind of resemblance. I'm no expert and, I'm happy to be corrected but, this one just looks too meaty in the head. Yep ,its a bonny pup and you might be right ,but I have seen/bred a few whippet litters and most of them could pass for staff pups until they're 6or 7 weeks old ,just seems a bit too young to write it off as definitely not a whippet .atb i agree, id be worried if the pup did look like a whippet at that age lol it's a nice chunky pup, but I've no idea if it's a whippet or not lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it makes a difference, this little one's just over 8 weeks in that picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
