Next breed of dog……

[Ratface]

My best dog was an unwanted grippet - greyhound x whippet. She was wonderful, if a tad wilful. She was trainable, very sociable with other animals and people and loved wherever she went. Recall was slightly uncertain, but got better with bribery.
If I wasn't already owned by Madam Carrie Cat, who would make any other residents' life a misery, I'd have one in a heartbeat.

 

[I'm Dun]

My whippet is a sensitive soul, the fake whippet (mum, dad, brothers and sisters are small black whippets and he's an enormous spotty thing) is much tougher and would cope fine with being left. I'd go for working bred whippet ideally with a dash of something else, that isn't saluki, in it! Plus, look at this! Hes in the terrible teens, but he's absolutely gorgeous even if his ears have fallen off, and incredibly trainable even if he is a little pocket rocket.

My other one is coming 8yrs old and still gambols about like a puppy. Hes my medical assistance dog and he worships the ground I walk on and would do anything for me. Hes never been left a long time, he's ok with 5 hours but any more and he'd worry I think, but if he'd been raised to stay with dog walker visits then he'd probably be ok. He has incurable SA if I try and keep him on his own and leave him for a nano second, hence the addition of the fake whippet a few months after we lost my old boy.

I’d be tempted for a bedlington, purely because everyone would think it was an actual lamb! Probably a lot tougher than they look.

 

[FinnishLapphund]

I must admit I always am surprised when people say whippets have separation anxiety, I worked full time when I had mine so they were used to being left. Obviously Mum looked after them during the day when they were young (you had puppies at 8 weeks old in those days!) but once they were a few months old they were happy with each other for company. I do wonder if my recollection is correct mind you, I got my first whippet when I was 17 - **cough** years ago

Well then, isn't that more reason to go have a look at the not purebred Whippet Lurcher cross puppies?

Or what about a more black coloured JRT? I don't think the colour is quite correct for the breed, think I've read somewhere that it might imply there's more than only JRT in the pedigree, but I know of other breeds where some colours aren't allowed but still exists, so I don't know. Either way, a JRT in such colours would perhaps look different enough from George, for you to not unconsciously feel that you're trying to replicate George.

Besides, regardless what breed/cross you decide to go for, if you do happen to come across a puppy/dog that gives you a bit of George vibes, perhaps that could just be a sign of that the newbie have a personality which suits you. That's what helped me pick Jonna out of the 5 bitches in her litter. Though, since Jonna was of a completely different breed from Nessie, who I had lost about 6 months earlier, I had the advantage of not expecting anyone in the litter to remind me about Nessie, but Jonna still did somehow, and I picked her, and got almost 17 happy years together with her.

 

[Patterdale]

Can you not just combine the best traits of all those breeds and get a Manchester Terrier!?
I know that’s my answer to everything, but they’re just the best!

Oh FL they are gorgeous if that 6 month old wasn’t in Glasgow I’d pick him up tomorrow - why couldn’t I have seen this last week when I was up there

 

[splashgirl45]

That 6 month old is gorgeous

 

[SkylarkAscending]

I have to admit the 6 month old is exactly what I would look for…. hmm how far is Glasgow again?

 

[splashgirl45]

Not far

 

[SkylarkAscending]

It’s only 6 hours from me - if I wasn’t having cataract surgery tomorrow morning I’d just pop up there…..

While recovering afterwards, and not having anything better to do than fiddling your thumbs, perhaps you could give the owner a call, you have the week off after all, and I think you'll be allowed to drive 24 hours after the procedure so...

He's gorgeous!! Not quite JRT and such a sweet face. Perhaps recovery could include a short stay in Scotland...hoping things go well and you start to feel less awful.

 

[cauda equina]

The 6 month old is gorgeous!
I wonder if there's some Teckel in him and if 'don't have enough time to give him the time he deserves' actually means he's a destructive little beggar

 

[SkylarkAscending]

I think he is at typical terrier brat teenager age if my two are anything to go by They were absolutely horrendous as teenagers, but they have grown up to be lovely dogs

Lol, mine features. Spelled correctly and everything but she pronounces it a bit harder

Just to throw a spanner in the works some of the ones on that video are pronounced differently across different parts of Ireland too. So if you come across a quee va and think you're sorted, be careful, she could be a kee va

I could pick him up for you

 

[SkylarkAscending]

I’d actually say yes if I didn’t suspect he would fight with Colin (or rather vice versa!)

Glad you said that as I know a Caiomhe that I was told was pronounced keeva, was worried I'd got it wrong

Looks like a whippety thing would be a good choice then , I’m sure we can find you one , dog or bitch?
