short hair and dont shed much.

as far as hypoallergenic, I really dont know. you would have to do google research or call a vet I suspect.

they are great house dogs just be sure to spend the time training them.

It's very pretty!!! They have pretty intense facial expressions in my decorating magazines (lol), but this photo makes them look what they are - friendly.

Nice to know! That's def within our height max. As for the house training, well, that's something we'd have to reconsider, unless we adopted one already housebroken...

oh, by training I mean more than just house breaking. I mean real training.

these dogs have a cat like indiffence so you have to really engage them. left to their own devises they can be rude.


but well trained they make awesome pets. The good news is, there are lots of option here in the area for training dogs. Petsmart has a great program.

Ferd,
That is where I took Roscoe. He was awesome. The training was so excellent. He died three days before his graduation! Just couldn't believe that. He was best in the class!

Awe Roscoe... Just for you PO


Ode to Roscoe


Shoes, plants and electric cords never found safety.
Roscoe ate everything, his hunger was too hasty.
Mr. Pressing didn't like ole Roscoe
He often said all dogs must go

But Roscoe loved Pressing
and Pressing loved Roscoe.

We will miss the ongoing saga
of Roscoe rambunctious romps
A tale as twisted as the Huallaga
and full of things he did chomp.

Good night dear friend
you shall be missed.
If dogs do go to heaven
don't let Mr. Pressing be a witness!

Awwww! You know I copied that and buried it with him don't you? I also kept a copy. I love it, Ferd!

Keep us up to date on the progress of your Whippet! I know your boys will have a grand time!
