I had been toying with the idea of getting a smaller dog for sometime (a dog for my old age when the strength & size of a Ridgeback would become harder to handle) and, after researching numerous breeds, I finally decided on a Whippet. Approached Peter & Griff at a dog show, they had a litter, we visited their home, asked a million questions and “Voila!” the rest is history..............we now have a new baby !!

She is settling in well, sleeping on a sheepskin beside the bed, mixing well with the Ridgies and enjoying exploring & tasting the “goodies” in the paddocks.  The only problem she has with the bigger dogs is their tails !  Her height & Alice’s tail are about equal and when Alice starts the wagging, poor Guess has to duck to avoid a slap in the face !!

Thanks to Peter & Griff for letting her come to live with us and I look forward to the challenge of showing a “tabled” dog in the coming months.

Big celebrations in the household...............”Guess”, at the tender age of 15 months, is now an Australian Champion.  She has certainly given me a great introduction to the Whippet world, not only because of her success in the show ring, but also because of her beautiful temperament that has endeared herself to all the members of the “Ingwe” household.
