utvolman99 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Every time someone sees my dog (I own a whippet) they laugh. They all talk about how skinny and starving he looks. He is small, standing about two foot at the shoulder and only weighs 30lbs. Then when they see him run that all changes. You see whippets can run 35+ mph. Labs and golden retrievers can hit about 25. He surprises a lot of people. I hope my Z will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Pretty cool comparison, I have seen whippets and they do haul butt! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 My sister has Italian Greyhounds, and they look like tiny little whippets. You're right - get them running, and there's not much that can catch them! One of the most frequent comments she gets with them is "Hey, that looks just like Bart Simpson's dog!" Myself, I would never consider having a dog that I could exterminate by stepping on it in the middle of the night whilst on the way to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

Guest Anonymous Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 About the only thing my Rotweiller dog, Sadie has in common with a poorly tuned car: she passes a lot of gas out the tail pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
