I have never seen you post in the cc.
Are you a mod?

No mate. I used to be nwgs.

But it doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant to be funny

It was in very poor taste imho.

I meant what I said.

She forgot to say that they're very skilled escapists.
They can release themselves from the best collar or harness if they see something worth chasing.

And they are not safe around cats. They will tolerate them in the house, even cuddle up with them. But outside if the cat runs, its toast. Sighthounds cannot stop themselves from chasing a fleeing animal.

More flying dogs.

Common things people say when you own a whippet.

Aww an Italian Greyhound I love them.
You should feed your dog it’s cruel. We can see his ribs.
My dog [who’s coughing up his lungs] is keeping up with your dog [not even panting and barely trotting].
Did you know about the breed before you got him
Do you race him
Is he fast.
Do you course him
How much for the daaag.

This is where responsible ownership comes into play. Keeping the dog safe but also other animals around it safe. Training and knowing your own dog goes a long way to ensure the safety of other small animals.

Amazing looking dogs, graceful, athletic and just majestic. I love these hounds.

Good luck training out prey drive. You can work very hard on recall and get good results but when they are off they are off.

Watching them run is amazing. Like a cheetah, due to their double articulated hips.

I have no misconceptions of that, I would only let it off in a private dog field with no other animals.

I act exactly the same when I see a cat! I just can't help myself...
