Looking for the right Whippet to rehome

thanks all, I've scoured the net a bit more and drawn up a list of 20 local breeders to contact.

I have seen a few greyhounds that looked suitable but one had to be muzzled when out on walks, which makes me think my parents cats might be gonners in its company ;)

I'll keep looking as I want to find the right animal and give it a home for life, and if anyone hears of one let me know! ;)

The new name is ridiculous, all touchy feely and new age. Why not call it what it is, as it was before.

Apparently people were confused and thought they only covered the west of England - so I can understand the change as they are pretty much national now - but agree the new name is just rubbish......
 
I would contact various charities and get home checked.

We were looking for a GSD after we lost our boy, as we love the breed and size, but ended up getting home checked by one breed specific and then 2 smaller general dog rescues. We told them all about us, got 'approved'. liked one dog but they were not suitable, then 3 weeks later the charity contacted us about another dog- who was a collie. we had not really considered a collie, but she ticked all the boxes pretty much, and now we've had her 6 weeks!

on clarification from your original post- you mean older, as in not nuts puppy,. but still prepared for a little work! I think the first post was misleading, as if you expected them to be perfect.

Our new dog is 2- had noooo training at all! never left a house for 2 years! but as she is 2 years, not 2 months, she is already very settled in 6 weeks. So completly see what you mean on age.
 
i have the whippet you want :) but you cant have her, I got her as a 7 month old rescue, she was in a puppy farm in wales and was rescued before she became a breeding machine. She was house trained, on the first full day I had her she was off lead in the fenced fields with a recall to be seriously impressed by. She is perfect with horses, dogs, cats, people. She now travels like a dream. She came from Scruples whippet rescue, who have become http://www.justwhippetsrescue.co.uk/ try them, they are realistic about whippets and homing.
 
I work full time, and i was accepted for adoption. And now Nonny comes with me to work every day, its down to individual circumstances. And i thought the OP doesnt work full time, there is only 1 day a week shes not there and the dog can be with her parents on that day.

Not anymore its not as far as I know. It wasnt about 5 months ago anyway. Their list of rules was on their website
 
I think all rules can be bent for the right home....
we got approved by UK GSR even though their policy is children aged 7+ and we have a baby- but because they knew we had a rescue german shepherd before with our baby and are sensible! my friend with a 5 year old and no previous dog was declines.

working hours are always controversial!

I hope you find your whippet :)
