I have experience of owning many breeds of dogs, large and small but I have never enjoyed one more than the whippet, what a loving, adaptable dog to have and care for! I do have a concern with my little man's skin and weight if anyone out there has any advice on this please e-mail: walker.fam@bigfoot.com
