Hi, I live in Newport south Wales. I have 2 fur babies. I have always had heinz 57 dogs, until I came across an animal rescue in west Wales ... I adopted a little westie an ex breeding bitch called Lily .... Because of where she was from She was obviously very nervous of everything, everyone but learnt to trust me and she became my shadow. Back in 2010 she became ill. After many many tests and many sleepless nights she sadly died in the vets .... I never got to say goodbye the vet said she had cancer in 3 places and hepatitis . All my dogs have been from rescue's but after losing Lily like that I couldn't face going through that again . I always said I wouldn't go to a breeder but as I was so sad and felt me and Max needed another dog I went on a website and found a breeder 25 miles away from me . I still had another dog .my Max he's a 12 year old bossy staff x because he is so bossy and I wanted another dog I needed a submisive dog so i researched the Whippet ......... I have never been owned by such a lazy loon, she is sooo loving. I am totally hooked on this breed now such lovely dogs. Sorry I've babbled on a bit Linda x

Hi Linda I also became hooked on whippets 9 yrs ago and will only have a rescue as I don't won't to encourage people to breed. There are so many unwanted dogs including whippets as yo can see from the homes wanted section. I have had four up to now but sadly I have lost 2. One in a traffic accident and one recently with cancer. I have a brindle girl who is about 11yrs and a brindle boy who is about 2-3yrs and adore them both.
