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

Snow is such fun for Whippets - virgin, pristine snow. Well done for the 'Best in Show' award!

[@ShowPaws]

Thank you so very much 💓💓💓

We get snow here in Massachusetts and our whippet boy Bug has always loved it! He bounces around just like your girl. Winter is his favorite season because the cold air allows for him to play longer without getting overheated. It's adorable!

I bet he is adorable. 💗 Little things bring them so much joy and excitement

Unfortunately, we rarely get snow where I live in Georgia. In 10 years we’ve had two ‘big enough to romp and frolic in’ and I and my dogs have joyously played in in the snow together. I grew up in Chicago so playing in the snow, with our friends and dogs was a great part of childhood. I absolutely loved seeing Erys play today. It brought me great joy.

When I lived in the Netherlands, one thing I missed a lot was the snow. It snowed some, but not enough for my taste 😄 Here we usually get enough every winter and even though I no longer like the hustle of cleaning the car/driveway, I get excited only by the thought of how much the dogs enjoy it.

We live in Germany, the Area called Nordrhein-Westfalen. Today we have also snow. My 2 dogs love it. They put the nose in the snow like little pigs.😊

That's really cool! Snow is such joy for the 4-legged 💗

Love her enthusiasm 😂❤ Snow makes not just whippet puppies into ahem puppies - as it's snows in Norway as well the beforementioned doodle's having a ball. Go out and potty? I ask - and she runs off with the frisbee (or what's left of it) and forgets everything about potty (or the fact that I walked her 6 kms this afternoon)! 😂

[@ShowPaws]

What a funny kid this doodle is ❤️ I bet her coat gets a lot of snowballs from all the snow play. I've kind of forgotten how it was dealing with a longer coated dog after so many years with whippets 🙈

[@franksmith7247]

Wonderful video. I especially enjoyed seeing your puppy interact with the German Shepherd at the Pet Expo ( I'd love to go there!)

Cuteness overload.❤..we do not get snow here in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 and to this day never experienced seeing or touching in person..your back garden looked like a gorgeous wonder land.xxxxxxx

[@ShowPaws]

Snow is nice to see and feel, but what is not fun is having to clean and defrost your car early in the morning 😆 Still, it brings a lot of joy to kids and doggos. Maybe one day you could visit a snowy country in winter 🤗

Occasionally we will get snow here in the UK but when we do Egor loves it and runs around like a mad thing

[@ShowPaws]

I can imagine. They go bonkers as soon as their feet touch the snow 😅 By the way, Egor is a very cool name!

[@Ned.1274]

@@ShowPaws Could you please do a video about what you feed your dogs as they get older? Egor is 8 and he has a mix of kibble and wet food, I have started him on the senior kibble as he was putting on weight. The thing is he is always hungry and begs for food alot. I don't want him to be hungry but I also do not want him getting fat, maybe this is something you have dealt with?

[@ShowPaws]

Sure, I'll put this on my to-do list. I have a few "always hungry" whippets. In the past we switched from one brand of kibble to another, because everyone used to look so hungry all the time and this solved it. But I still have a few that would eat until they pop if I let them. Their face tells me they starve, but their body condition assures me they get more than enough 🙈

@@ShowPaws Thank you so much Addy!

[@michelecampbell9356]

We get a lot of snow, live in southwestern Ontario Canada. Our Bug loves the snow and we will soon find out if the new addition, Enzo, feels the same😊

[@ShowPaws]

Please drop me a comment when you find out if Enzo is also a fan 💗

[@michelecampbell9356]

@@ShowPaws will do! On last day of a cruise so back to the cold/snow tomorrow!

[@stephplave]

Do you have a whippet named Bug too?? Ours turned 3 this summer!

[@michelecampbell9356]

@@stephplave our girl is just over 18 mths. She came prenamed as we got her at 5 mths. We lost our first whippet, Mouse, suddenly last Oct. Our breeder found us Bug. So having a Mouse, having a Bug was natural lol.

How do you decide whether to dress him or not? (when it's snow/cold outside)

[@ShowPaws]

I have a detailed video on this topic titled "Should whippets wear coats", which was posted after this one 😊
