Hello, can you list 5 things that you love about your whippet (s)? I haven't got a pure whippet. However I've got a lurcher who is 3/4 whippet, and looks like a whippet, so I will talk about her. Phoebe. 1) I love how gentle she is. She is so gentle with all my children, and anyone else she meets. 2) I love how she will do anything to get into that sunny spot. Even if it involves climbing onto the window sill. 3) I love watching her run, I always find it amusing when they are in full pelt and their back legs over take the front. 4) I love how affectionate she is, she spends half of her life giving kisses and cuddles 5) she is beautiful. This is Phoebe... stood where she shouldnt be lol.

Phoebe is indeed beautiful Rachel and reminds me of a little fox. Ok tongue in cheek I know but: 1.I love Fin because be saves me money on my dishwasher electric bill by prewashing all my plates 2. I love Ace because since I've had him I've never had cold feet at night 3. I love Skye because she actually talks just to me like a person 4. I love Star because shes so jealous of anyone else getting near me that it gives me a big head 5. I love all my dogs because they give a love back like nobody else can.

Now what do i love about the crazy bunch ..... Mmmmmm
I love Zana because when she is wearing her pitiful face she just melts my heart ♥
I love Kaya because she's my little rogue, does what she likes when she likes and if i have words with her about it she stands her ground and gives me a very vocal reason as to why she will continue to do so ♥
I love Sada because ..... well who doesnt love my fatty. She's my first whippet love and has grown into a very refined lady ..... most of the time anyway ♥
I love Tala because she says i do, she forces her attention on me wether i want it or not. A beautiful, bold, in your face, pain in the backside. Trouble with a capital T ♥
I love them as a pack for their beauty, the way the speed of their running brings my heart into my mouth, their agility, their gentleness, their ability to cheer me up whatever else is going on in my life ♥
I dont love the smell that emits from their rear end or the terrible noise that emits from their mouths when the leads come out for the first walk of the day ! my mouth

I love the way Suti will go anywhere with you, unquestioningly, if you are going, he is quite happy to go to, whether by car, train, bus, boat...
I love the way he snuggles in, rests his chin on you and groans happily before going to sleep
I love the ridiculous way he spins in tight circles when he is really excited
I love watching him play gently rolling the cats around with his paw (they lie on their backs waiting for this game) until they get overexcited and curl up to kick and bite him and he leaps back so quickly that even they cannot get him
I love looking at how elegant he is when he sits with his paws crossed and how athletic he is when he runs

I seem to have managed to lose my original post, sorry if it is a computer glitch and I end up double posting Suti was a lurcherlink dog 4yrs ago, here is his original thread www.lurcherlink.org/llink/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12233&highlight=I don't have any good pics on this computer but here he is with one of his playmates (sorry for the mess! ) and as he is so exceptionally good with the kids he has earned special (heavily supervised) snuggling priviledges Belle comes to join our family in a couple of weeks, if she is even half as sweet as him that will be fantastic. From speaking to her fosterer they sound so similar, another very playful, people orientated dog. Anyway I'll let the thread get back on topic!

What a lovely thread - have only just caught up with it. What I love about my two boy whippets: 1. I love their tender sweet faces, and my rescue boy's particularly soft devoted eyes (is this a peculiarity of rescues generally?) 2. watching them run and their joy in running - and then the change of gear into overdrive that takes your breath away. 3. their own smell that is like warm buttered toast (that's before they add the "masculine" cologne of eau de Badger-poo that can clear a room) 4.the pleasure my intellectual, completely un-sporty husband takes in the athletic prowess of "the boys" when he comes home from a blast in the park boasting about how they left all the opposition standing! 5. their sheer, unselfconscious elegance and beauty, their sweetness of nature and gentleness with all humans and dogs. 6. the high-stepping prance when they have something in their mouths that you don't want them to have - and they know there's no way you can catch them!

five things i love about my whippet are
- when she's ready to go down for the night she'll wait for me to straighten her covers on the basket, circle round and round...and round till she gets herself comfy,flop down then look up at me as if to say ' quick woman cover me up then bugger off!!
- i love to see her pegging around on a walk, she'll follow my lurcher everywhere bossing him about
- i love her pretty loyal face when she's looking at me, so sweet and makes my heart melt every time!
- i love it that she's so tiny so she can sit up front in the van with me when we're out and about, i love a doggy with me when i'm driveing
- i love that she's a great dog to the eye and gets plenty of attention when out, tho i do get the odd ' you should feed that dog' cvomment to wich i'm doing a great job of ignoreing nwadays!
