    Hey, fellow dog fanciers and whippeteers! My name is Adriana, proudly owned by 8 gorgeous whippets, and I have been surrounded by pets since day 1. The world of show dogs, dog shows and responsible breeding has been keeping me busy since the age of 12 and this channel is especially created to educate on these controversial topics

    What i got from this video is that sighthounds are all the same, and we were only designed to serve and clothe them.

    I think "a sense of humor" goes along with "patience"! So true about the running also. I just moved to a place with no yard so I've had to be creative in finding ways and places to let my whippet run. I feel terribly guilty for bringing her to a place with no yard but she is adapting well because she still gets chances to run several times a week.
    I would love a video on puppy socialization if you are looking for ideas!

    • @ShowPaws

      I agree! These drama clowns need to be surrounded by people with a sense of humor! Kudos for being creative and finding a solution, as some people wouldn't even try, unfortunately. And I've added the video idea to the list 😊

      This is the reason I couldn't bear to breed a Litter- finding worshipping homes is not easy. Whippets are incredibly sensitive - more ''feline'' than canine in many ways- My Mum has never liked dogs- but loves my Whippet, because of her gentle, feline nature.

    I am with the earlier commenter...what can you do to keep the satiated but not make them fat!?

    I love your videos Addie, they are so well observed. Our two handsome boys also wake us in the middle of the night to cover them back up, they also want to take part in everything you are doing and look at you with eyes that make you feel you have done something wrong. Before being whippy parents we travelled the world, 43 cruises to be honest, whereby now we only travel where we can take the boys, we don’t trust anybody else to look after them and know their unusual behavior!! More importantly they are the Centre of our world and can’t imagine life without them. Keep the videos coming so everyone can see just how lucky we are to be whippet servants ❤️

      I completely understand, as it's almost impossible to own whippets and not realize your heart and soul belongs to them, and your whole lifestyle is adjusted as per their needs and wants ❤️😅

    it took almost two years before my Whippet finally was potty trained..she still once every few months will go on/near the wee wee pad...it took a lot of patience on my part but I'm greatful we finally got there.

    • @Oakleaf700
      @Oakleaf700 Před 21 dnem

      That's interesting- My girl if the weather is bad will still very occasionally do a wee indoors on a hard floor - she really hates doing a wee in the garden in the pouring rain, even with a coat on...Her litter sister is the same! {lives with someone else} - it seems to be a thing that some {But by no means all!} Whippets and Italian greyhounds do occasionally in bad weather.

    • @ShowPaws
      @ShowPaws  Před 20 dny

      Same as what Oakleaf said. Pouring rain by default means we'll be wiping the floors. Not all of mine do it, but some definitely don't go through the "discomfort" of using the outdoor bathroom in very bad weather.

    lovely video! the “fun” section gave me a good laugh. My girl likes to play with my legs while I am on the sofa, moving flirt poles for little whippets. I am curious to know how you keep your whippets happy in hot weather? It’s getting very hot here and we had a scary moment yesterday where our girl started overheating. I'm going to check if you already have a video on this 👀

    Im just gonna start handing out a card with this videos link when people tell me in the street "omg i love these dogs I want one"
    I would add too like you have to be creative to be a whippet owner they get bored easily so I always have to find new ways or toys to stimulate that like traingle brain so i can have time to do other thing or between her naps

    • @ShowPaws
      @ShowPaws  Před 20 dny

      Very true! They need "action", especially when they are younger. And yes, sadly everything is so quickly accessible nowadays, people find it easy to just want something and get it impulsively. This also includes dogs and is one of the main reasons so many end up unhappy and/or rehomed.

    There is a video that always makes me want to cry..... 'Whippet acts like a statue'....It is awful..the poor boy is so harshly treated by his male owner.
    ..His 'crime'? To go down a bin and spill a few bits of clean paper. ...The Whippet looks genuinely sad and afraid...and is banished to his bed. 😭

    • @ShowPaws
      @ShowPaws  Před 22 dny +1

      I've never come across this video before, but it wasn't easy to watch, knowing how sensitive they are. Useless and completely unnecessary behavior from the owner. Poor boy!

      @@ShowPaws It was very sad...I want to reach through the screen to rescue him!
      Also interesting how comments had been 'disabled'. ..I commented saying that he was far too harsh on his Whippet-
      My friend who bred my girl came back to a hallway full of shredded dog beds- her 6 month old Puppy is a bed shredder- and the others must have joined in.. She sent me a photo of relaxed Whippets amongst the carnage of bed stuffing...No one got told off.
      The Puppy is obsessed with Donut beds- he was trying to drag one through the dog flap to take it in the garden to shred!
      He is being exported to New Zealand in August - He will be missed.
