Hey, fellow dog fanciers and whippeteers! My name is Adriana, proudly owned by 8 gorgeous whippets, and I have been surrounded by pets since day 1. The world of show dogs, dog shows and responsible breeding has been keeping me busy since the age of 12 and this channel is especially created to educate on these controversial topics

The nose poking from under the duvet is just so whippet 😂😂

I only have 1 whippet - but this was funny!

[@paulwozencroft279]

So so so true! 😀Enjoy the Weekend!🎉

[@dotann4342]

You made me laugh ! That is 100% accurate. I have had 5, currently only 2, but I could have made exactly the same video about mine.

[@Oakleaf700]

Just a few seconds in : ''Are Whippets dogs?'' NO! most definitely not! They are more like a feline hybrid. Just settling down on the Sofa with mine after a long wet walk to watch this !

Love your truth telling and sense of humor.

[@robsalvv5853]

Hahahah this is all 100% true! It should be mandatory viewing for anyone considering a whippet! 😂😂 ❤ ❤ I’ve been a whippet slave to two whippets since 2017, it is clear that I now live in their home as a guest lol. I wouldn’t change a thing! You are right, now that semi retirement is around the corner, I’m planning how to pull the trigger on my many times considered 3rd whippet… LOL. Great to see another vid🤘☀️😎

[@bronislava1551]

So true, even about the 1-whippet owners always thinking about ways of how to get some more whippets 😊

@@bronislava1551 trust me, more will be coming! You’ll say, but he/she needs a companion so they won’t be lonely when I leave them! Famous first words. 😏😅Consider what two do when you’re gone. Then consider three. Just saying…

Yes, yes, yes and yes to all of it! 28 years in and it all still remains "the truth"! Pokey chop stick legs extend the full length of a bed. Thank you for making my day with your hilarious video. I love your content. Greetings from Oregon, USA!

[@mehnotsomuch7858]

I just can't get enough of their cuteness! Do you plan to have any puppies I would love to see your video on how to raise a whippet puppy🌻

So did my Dobby!😅

[@Oakleaf700]

@@scottg.mcintyre1784 I wonder if they could understand what the other Whippets were saying! {No language barrier?!}

I have a whippet and I'm definitely a whippet lover..but Addie ❤ I also love listening to your sense of humour 😅..xxxxxxx

My whippet used to be a bit of a sausage, now that she's back to a perfectly normal weight, we're a bit more indulgent. She has dinner at 7, dental stick for dessert. We started giving her some leftover after our dinner at 9 (mostly vegetables but sometimes a bit of meat). She's now actively campagning for "Second Dessert after Second Dinner"... thoughts and prayers appreciated :)

[@Oakleaf700]

Oh yes..I have a spayed girl who can be prone to easily putting on a little weight..and it doesn't take much!

[@scottg.mcintyre1784]

@@Oakleaf700 our Blue is feeling heavier and heavier every time I lift him. He doesn’t show it yet, but he’s very protective of his food and snacks!😁😒

[@Oakleaf700]

@@scottg.mcintyre1784 My girl is a terrible thief! She uses her 'chin' to jiggle down pockets and bags to find dog treats - She's a notorious thief- Whippet's noses are very good - and can sniff a hidden treat out from metres away. Ironically, as a puppy she wouldn't eat - and I dreaded her mealtimes. I think it was probably stress from leaving her littermates at 9 weeks- going from a house full of Whippets to being the only Whippet! I'd hand feed chicken breast, and scrambled egg and she'd just turn her head away. When her sister came to visit, she ate voraciously, so I'm sure it was emotional.

[@jeanneteston9962]

@@Oakleaf700 yes, ours was very picky, we found out that she just refuses to eat the same thing twice in a row, the breeder had the puppies accustomed to eating different things everytime so they might get used to whatever food they'd be served. She easily gains weight, but replacing treats by vegetables and longer walks helped with all that

[@Oakleaf700]

@@jeanneteston9962 My girl arrived with a lot of puppy food- wet and dry - and decided she didn't like them. I have pics of her turning her head away and burying her nose in cushions just like a naughty toddler might. Seems it's not that unusual for them to be a bit 'anorexic' around food when arriving in a new home- especially if they are an 'only' dog. Vet said not to worry, and that her weight was fine. Now, I have to carefully watch her weight- after a walk today she stole a packet of ''Cheddars'' - I had to take them from her!

[@flashandthepan]

Best video yet!

[@emsi0emsi]

Another amazing video 🎉🎉🎉Can't wait for part 2😊.

[@RobinHorton-c9l]

So true. We have had whippets since our daughter was 18 months old, she is now 38. Our latest is 15 months old & still a hyper puppy. Can relate to everything you say. Great bog.

[@FiveFlavors]

We love our almost 9 year old. We adopted her at 8.5, She runs around in circles on the second floor but will not come down the stairs to let us take her out. She peeks down the stairs at us and then runs around in circles. Still no accidents, thank goodness. Any advice?
