Wanted: Whippet Pup

[goatfarmer]

Hi all,

Does anyone know anyone breeding whippets in Thailand? (Excluding a little thai fellow at the recent dog show who had a litter but does not seem keen to part with any.)

Much obliged for any leads.

Three years later... and still looking.

Any developments in the whippet market?

Hi, not sure if you would be interested in a greyhound instead. A friend of mine's bitch is about to whelp (next wee). Italian male and Australian bitch. They live in Pattaya.

As far as whippets: the situation has not changed: still k Neung in Ladprao: White Crane Group (Thailand) Tel: 66(0)2214-1125, 66(0)2215-9599

Thank you both.

Is the male greyhound and Italian Greyhound or a full size greyhound from Italy?

Wife is not so keen on a big dog. But since we are in Pattaya I would be interested to take a look. Please pass on contact details.

One of my wife's friends from work for sure had whippets, but I can't say 100% what the situation is at the moment. When she gets back from the office tonite I will try to find out for you one way or the other. I tend to side with your wife on the greyhound,can be a big dog and without a good few miles exercise every day can quickly go off the rails.

I have a championship quality (UK) male whippet - so if you can find a similar quality female I'm sure you could get a pup.

My male is about 6 years old, honey gold and the perfect pet - which is why I too, would love a puppy from him.

I know it is not the same, but some of those small brown dogs here I think are a bit like whippets. I have one and when he runs, very fast too I might add, he looks exactly like a whippet IMO.

Can't make contact at the moment, probably flood related will try again when things clear up a bit

Lovely dogs no doubt - but nothing like a whippet in appearance and, I suspect, temperament!

Please don't misunderstand me as I have 3 rescued soi dogs that I love dearly - but whippets are a breed entirely different to other dogs.

Edit - 1) a whippet's head looks more like a deer than a dog 2) they have v long, fragile looking legs. In fact they look generally 'fragile' and in many ways are - mainly though in their temperament.

Re-reading the OP's posts though - I would NEVER allow any pup from my dog to go to someone who was just looking for a small (and presumably, cute) dog.... Anybody with those requirements will tire quickly of any dog and never really establish a relationship with them.

No doubt but he does happen to have a very timid temperament but obviously that can not be guaranteed in a soi dog, no matter how skinny!

Three years is a long time to be "just looking for a small (and presumably, cute) dog". Perhaps the OP actually wants a whippet.

And must be muzzled when exercising. Lovely temperament, except around small dogs and of course, your neighbours' cats.

Glad to see you have gound a "big" whippet. My friend has just taken his sister. I picked her up in Pattaya and brought her to Bangkok: never made a sound and slept on the back seat with my whippet. Very well behaved....for the moment!

1 more male left. for a forever special home.
