Ah heck we try. Thanks

Bowie sends Bowie boops

Yup Bowie is a 6 year old Whippet. Certified good boy.

(thank you)

Bowie is happy to be of service

😳

Read the username… Ok. Ok.

Absolutely! Good luck! Positive reinforcement works really well for these guys

Yes that exactly. His recall is AMAZING, but only when he feels like it. Often he’ll run in the opposite direction, pee on a tree and then come running to me at 50kph. Whippets were bred to be independent hunters so they make their own decisions.

Also be warned about 1/3rd of the whippets we know have a big squirrel body count and can’t really be let off leash. Bowie is not a killer and we’re grateful for it.

Edit: forgot to mention the first two years of Whippet life is difficult. All the bad points are exaggerated. They really calm down after two years.

Slightly crazy. Super unreliable. Needs a coat in the winter. Will tunnel under your bed sheets and kick you in the stomach. Extremely clingy.

So much personality. Amazing to watch run. Ridiculously cute. Phenomenal cuddlers. They love you with all their hearts.

We’re Whippet people for life 🧡

We had no idea 😮

Have you tried heaps of raw meat as motivation?

Ruff crowd 😁

Well in that case yeah. In the summer we travel with a little sleeping bag for him so he can lounge around during brunch. He’s really polite!

He has gone with us to outdoor patios. Yes. He’s spoiled.

Every once in a while we say “damn we gotta buy a Devo Energy Dome, and then promptly forget”

Still on the to-do list

Can’t stop, won’t stop.

Don’t tell the dog cops. Bowie deserves better you’re right

You’re right. I should replay that game.

Happy to hear Bowie can bring you a bit of joy, we’ll give him cuddles from you ❤️

I didn’t know we could climb to the top 😮

Not sure if Bowie would make it though
