Your Whippet Probably Isn't Spoiled Enough And Here's Why

[@DarnWhippets]

You've not been judged until you've been whippet judged.

[@ShowPaws]

LOL 😂😂😂 Absolutely ❣️

[@daughterofthemosthigh5738]

OMG...you've been spying on my house! This is exactly what I go through with my whippet! With that face, how can you not spoil them! Great video as usual!!❤

[@ShowPaws]

I have bo doubt! They all are adorable manipulators 🙈❤️

[@sieltte]

Can confirm iggies (Italian greyhounds) are exactly the same. Exactly.

[@ShowPaws]

You are absolutely right!

[@imissmypandacar]

so glad the whippets gave you time off to make this video xx😆

[@ShowPaws]

😂😂😂 Right! Sometimes I get 30 minutes of unpaid leave 🙈

[@bslizardette4669]

Suddenly I'm very happy my Whippet mix has that other Border Collie half. He might be spoiled, but is also happy to do half of the work.

[@ShowPaws]

🤣🙈

7:05 this accusing look 😂😂😂

[@elisabethnymann6306]

Spot on! 😂 And when they leave you no longer know what to do with your life. Post Diva I've learnt that if you don't have a whippet you get something done and as my life has changed and I now have a big property and 5 buildings to tend to I actually need that. The domestic doodle is easy to please but I miss Diva terribly so I think I need servants so I have the time necessary to be a whippet servant‼

[@ShowPaws]

I completely understand ❤️ Who knows, maybe one day you'll have more time to get back to your servant duties 😄 Life is surprising sometimes.

[@emsi0emsi]

I love this video. It is a good feeling when you know you're not alone in being a little odd in looking after your dog 😂. Of course I am being watched while typing this comment by a whippet in her bed with two pillows and three blankets. 😅 Thank you for your videos.

[@ShowPaws]

She supervises you to make sure you're keeping up with all your duties 👀 Typical whippet ❤️😆

[@Lillipea]

My whippet won't eat his dentastick unless it's hand fed to him on the sofa at exactly 7pm 😂

[@ShowPaws]

What a sophisticated man 🤣💗

[@kristinastales1373]

Whippets are too cute. Spoiling my sweet Taboo is my new favorite hobby.😂❤😊😊😊

[@ShowPaws]

I can completely understand why 😁💗

[@Gdesvis]

So True 😂😂😂!! Each and every point 👍👍! Your videos are always so pertinent and hilarious at the same time. It's ..amazingly delicious 🥰! Thank you ❤

[@Gdesvis]

Oups, I meant Relevant not Pertinent .. Pertinent is he french word 🥴

[@ShowPaws]

Thank you for your kind words! 💗 I'm beyond happy you enjoy the videos!

[@ewerock5641]

I just saw this video and love it so much!!! I am owned by a rescue Whippet/Dachshund mix. But you would never know as she checks off every box of a whippet trait. Her giveaway is being slightly smaller size and floppy ears. Her name is Mona Lisa because she smiles - a lot! She is the best and sweetest dog ever. I am a widow and care taker for my adult handicapped son. I can’t tell you what it means to us both to have this sweet person (I mean, dog) in our family. She reads us both like a book. When my son even begins to get upset, she goes right to him to support and comfort him. For this alone, I am gladly her servant. She has brought so much joy and comfort to us. And I must thank you, Addie, for your enjoyable and informative videos, without which, I would have never known I had been chosen to own a 99% whippet treasure! God bless!

[@ShowPaws]

This is so heartwarming! ❤️ You sure have a wonderful little buddy who has inherited some of the best whippet traits!

[@scottg.mcintyre1784]

Hi Addie! Loved the content this week! So true! Cha Cha’s look to make me walk her and Blue is brutal! Such criticism! And it hurts! The eyes, the eyes!😣😟And I know about the in and out of the cover thing and being wakened up by a wet snoot to the face! And stupid daddy Scott is going to be owned by a third one starting next week! Dobby, a younger brother to Dad Valentine. Why do we do this?!!! Are we insane? Or is this just being possessed by those whippet eyes!?😳😕🤪😏❤💕🫶🏻🥰

[@ShowPaws]

That's because whippets are so magical and we can't help it 🙈 Once a whippet servant, always a whippet servant 😅 Welcoming Dobby into your family soon must be very exciting ❤️

[@scottg.mcintyre1784]

It is!❤

[@pinkGwiZz]

I have a 14 week old whippet cross with Italian Greyhound puppy and I have just found your videos! I LOVE THEM!! AND I LOVE your humour!!!!! So relatable haha

[@ShowPaws]

I am pleased you enjoy the channel 💗

[@urracan]

Who hired you?? 😂😂😂 sooo true

[@ShowPaws]

The expression I get several times a day. I don't even know how they still allow me to live in this house 🙈😅

[@tjmac6806]

Love all your videos! This one had me laughing out loud! Can totally relate, as we too are humans living in a whippet house. lol

[@ShowPaws]

I'm very happy the videos bring you such positive emotions 💗

[@oxcart4172]

How can u NOT spoil a pet dog? They give so much more!

[@mistermaster4495]

This video feels like you recorded my whippet 👍👍👍 Good one, totally on spot about those drama queens 😄

[@ShowPaws]

All spoiled whippets share the same mastermind 🤣💞

[@karenmartley797]

Omgoodness how very relevant ❤...😮😊😂 Gotta love our whippets❤

[@ShowPaws]

There's no way not to love them 💗💗💗

[@RichardKHayes]

Your video is wonderful!!! 💖🐾🐾🐾

[@BtmBoy-q7l]

Love the video

[@Oakleaf700]

The ears are definitely the thermostat.. Cold ears=Cold Whippet. Also if the inner ears are pale- they are cold. When they are hot, their inner ears turn pink. a heated fluffy blanket is what my Whippet loves.

[@ShowPaws]

Yessss, absolutely true ❣️

[@ascendingreality]

And another thing. Can you please make a video about what you feed your Whippets? We have had serious issues with our Maja this first year. We have had help from both veterinarian and the breeder and we tried almost everything. But she’s really small and thin. 13 months now and weighs 9 kg. Only now we realise that she’s extremely picky with food and the only way to maintain her weight is spoiling her or she just won’t eat and lose weight. Now I have to make one thing to breakfast, a different thing to lunch and then something else for dinner. And constantly changing different foods and brands. She hates dry food and I have to mix it with something good for her to eat it. So it’s home made food, wet food and raw food. All served like in a Michelin Restaurant. Do any of your Whippet have this issue? Could you make a video on this topic? Thanks for a great channel. Watch every video. Love your energy.

[@ShowPaws]

I'm so sorry about your troubles with Maja. Picky eaters are a pain. I don't have enough experience in this area, as most of mine would eat just about anything. Erys is my first picky whippet (picky since day one), but we found the golden middle with kibble for breakfast and raw for dinner, with no changes or toppers. Some of my oldies, like Lacey and Cooper developed picky eating habits. With them, we have had times of complete desperation, but somehow we've managed to find foods they like the majority of the time. But in a larger pack, all of mine are more eager to finish their meals fast, or else they believe there's a chance someone else will steal them. One thing I've discovered with picky dogs is, the more variety you offer, the pickier they become as they expect a change with every next meal. So the more you're trying to please them, the more hopeless their eating habits become. I'd say, if she likes a particular brand of kibble, raw or cooked meal more than the rest you've offered, stick to it and reduce the toppers and variety you add for a starter, to slowly develop an "either this, or nothing" mentality. This will be a slow process, but it could work, just as it did with Erys after I got too tired of her picky eating. That is, if you're absolutely certain her behavior is due to picky eating only and not because of an underlying health condition.

[@ascendingreality]

Thanks so much. Maja was not so picky when she was younger, then she ate almost everything. It started around 8 months. We don't know why but she got tired of her dry food. She just didn't eat it. So we were advised to change by our breeder. Then she ate it for a while and then she stopped eating it. So we did as you said. Be hard on her and take the food away if she doesn't eat and give no alternatives. Then she ate nothing for a week and lost weight. Of course we were worried and contacted the vet. But everything is ok with Maja. This has continued for almost six months. You can't force her to eat food she doesn't want. She just won't eat and is losing weight. She's already so thin that we don't dare to take any chances, so we have to spoil her instead. It's the only way she actually eats and maintains her weight. We have had several dogs and have a Chinese Crested so it helps a little that they have to compete for the food but not much. If Maja doesn't want to eat, she can refuse. Whippets are lovely but a bit difficult by having a very strong will of their own. More like cats as some say.@@ShowPaws

[@melblacke5726]

Looks as if the whippets own the house and they just let you live their because you have convenient opposable thumbs.......lol!!

[@ShowPaws]

Spot on! 🤣 But also, even though they can't admit it, they are velcro dogs and love us too much 😁

My old boy is spoilt.

[@ShowPaws]

As he should be and I'm sure he's happy with this fact 😆💗

[@joanmcerlean7158]

🥴🙃😆👏

[@ShowPaws]

Yeah, these are also my daily reactions 😝💞

[@ocd2222]

do you still feed your puppies barf diet?

[@ShowPaws]

Yep, I mix feed (kibble and barf) 😊

[@ascendingreality]

Thanks. My first Whippet and I constantly think somethings wrong with her because she whines about anything and nothing. This made us go to the veterinarian when she was a puppy several times. We had other dogs and they complain only if something is really bad like stomach issues. So it would have been great help knowing this better before getting a Whippet. Videos like yours are both funny and educational.

[@fruzsinaenyedi7401]

The intro was changed, right? 🙁

[@ShowPaws]

If you mean the number of whippets I'm owned by, sadly yes 😔❤️‍🩹

[@fruzsinaenyedi7401]

@@ShowPaws I am sorry for your whippet. Which little angel?
