Whippets were so much easier, and laid back and QUIET.You are gross. Really? You bred a hunting dog and weren't into it? Gross.Pish tish, nola. They were never shot with a shotgun to make them run further out, they were never burned with cigarette butts to make them "give" on retrieve, they were never kicked in the ribs to make them sit closer to their "trainer" (I saw this last) and was told about the cigarette butts.I have never owned a gun, have no co-ordination, and poor eyesight. My dogs were properly fed, wormed, vaccinated, were taken on daily free running in bushland, and were part of my family. I bite my thumb at you.
