Hello: I am a brand new owner of a Whippet that we adopted. His name is Sammy. He is from Pedigree lines (which is pretty funny considering our other dog is pure breed mutt!)but really didn't take to showing. He is two years old and has spent most of his time in kennels although you would never know that by the way he has made himself at home on our couch. This is our first day with our new family member and we couldn't be more thrilled. He is wonderful with our two small children and very affectionate. We live in Central Illinois. I am sure that you'll be hearing frequently from me because I have a ton of questions.
