Whippet Wanted

[mangotogo]

Hi all,

Maybe a Thai dog breeder directory could be compilated to avoid this type of query.

I have looked around and asked a few dog dealers to find me a whippet but no result so far. There is a male one at Ozono but it belongs to the owner of the complex. I will try to import a female from Australia later on this year. I have located a few litters but I have to try to coordinate it with my next trip to Australia next month. If anybody else is interested I could look for more. But if anyone knows of some here I would appreciate help in locating one here. They make very good house dogs. I have had some for over 20 years in Australia but sadly they passed away over the years.

Thank you in advance,

My wife and I (in ChiangMai) are intrested in keeping whippets (probably a pair)

We were thinking about exploring the options of bringing them over

from the UK in the summer.

Hi David, I have located a few litters in Queensland. I will be checking them out next week when I return to Australia. If you are interested I can forward you some information about them once I have checked them out. I am a small animal veterinarian.

Hi David, well I took the plunge and bought my whippet yesterday: still too young to travel: will start the export procedures and will bring her back as cargo on my next trip back to Bangkok in early June. Will follow the leads in the thread on importing pets: the breeder has 6 more to sell in this litter and another 6 in another litter in South Australia. Very good quality dogs.

Now have to contact the Thai Kennel Club for registration and showing procedures.

Hi, Have a look in Queensland Trading Post or Saturdays Courier Mail, There are regularly 9 to 12 month old Whippets free to good homes often with good pedigree papers,lots of people buy whippets and dont realise what a lovable full of energy and sometimes a bit scatty dog they have purchased, when people ask my advice about dogs I always recommend whippets, they are gentle good natured brilliant with all other animals, our last whippet in europe slept in the baby nursery, with what ever animals we were hand raising at the time, such as tiger cubs, bear cubs even the orang babies used to love her, we picked up our last whippet 11 years ago from a family who couldnt handle her, our next dog will be a whippet to when she is no longer with us.I have added a photo of her ladyship Caledonian Princess , Cali for short Nignoy

Hi Nignoy,

I have had whippets also for almost 30 years. This new puppy will keep me busy until the end of the year with training her. Once she is out of the "puppy stages" then I may get a second one as a companion for her. At first i was going to get 2 but wised up. My last whippet died on Australia Day 2006. She was 15 years old. Is your whippet in Thailand or Australia? To me they are the perfect house pet....I describe them as not as busy as a terrier so you don;t have to worry too much at what they are up to next. Not too big , not too small. Rarely vocal. Never had a bad tempered one. Through work I rehomed a fair few too. Sometimes they were not socialised properly ( specially the show ones). With time they all made nice pets.

Thanks for your input.

Our whippet is in australia, if we are staying in thailand more than 6 weeks then we take her with us, could not imagine being without a whippet, still got my grandads Flat Cap too at the moment the stepson out bush is looking for a couple of whippets for his kids because there are always tears when cali comes home with us Nignoy

I used to own a whippet in the UK and I'm a bit concerned about the phrase "house pet" that is being used. They were bred in the UK for hunting and racing and while they're happy to lounge around the house most of the day they need at least an hour a day to run free. I can't imagine they would be at all happy in a city in Thailand. A quick walk around the block is not enough for them. They need a park or field where they can really run fast.

EEh bah gum lad, is thee from flatcap and whippet country I was born and bred in wartime lancashire, whippets and lurchers were our hot water bottles, we were coursing and rabbitting with whippets and lurchers before we were 10 years old, and the best boy hunters were taught to hunt pheasant and grouse with goshawks, the really good ones got a baby merlin to train on Pigeon,I wouldnt keep a dog in Bangkok, as it is, in australia our whippet we live on a large block which opens on to at least 10 miles of empty beach and when we are in the village in isaan she is always out playing with kids or with me camping and fishing, and when she has a hard days messing about she flakes out on her own couch, as the 4 previous house pets before have DONE Nignoy
