Here is a picture of myself and our two whippets. Years ago, when my little lurcher got older and began to show her age we started looking for a puppy while preparing for the inevitable. Luckily we found out there was a litter of whippet puppies for sale not very far from our home. We went for a visit and decided on the spot we couldn’t live without one of those gorgeous pups. Little we knew at the time how involved we were going to be with the breed. Just before the pup was ready to come home our lurcher died of old age and to the puppy was left the hard job to replace her in our hearts. The puppy did so well his job that we decided to give him a little companion. For over a decade now our two dogs worked hard at providing us companionship and exercise, keep the yard free of vermin, announcing guests, warming up sofas, filling our weekends with lure cursing and agility meeting and giving remarkably little trouble in return. Even though we are a traveling family and we have to move often, our dogs adapted to any of the circumstances we found ourselves in and helped us to recreate a feeling of home wherever we went. I think it was Konrad Lorenz who said that nobody should have to travel without the comfort a dog. We totally agree and, guess what, we are getting ready for another whippet puppy!
