T.F.H. - WHIPPET - ΒΙΒΛΙΑ - DVD - GB056 - Pet shop Petsite.gr

With its distinctive, elegant build the Whippet is as much at home in the coursing field or on the racetrack as it is in the show ring. The breed's gentle temperament allows it to blend perfectly into the family home whilst still retaining the essential characteristics of a member of the Hound group.

Containing much valuable information and advice on how to choose, raise and train a Whippet - whether as a pet or potential show dog - this book will appeal to the beginner and hobbyist alike. There are also contributions on coursing and racing as well as a fascinating insight into the highly successful Hillsdown and Nimrodel kennels. The worldwide chapter is fully comprehensive, with accounts of both historical and modernday Whippets accompanied by photographs of the most influential dogs around the globe. Throughout, the author's commonsense approach makes for an immensely readable account of life with this hardy and affectionate sighthound.

Sheffield author Phil Moran-Healy has bred, owned and shown Whippets for over 30 years. He has competed at the highest level in the breed, having bred or shown eight show champions to their title. Phil also bred both the sire and dam of the only Whippet to date to have won Best In Show at Crufts - Ch Pencloe Dutch Gold. As a much sought-after judge, his past appointments include Crufts and Skokloster (the largest sighthound show in the world). Crufts certainly appears to be his lucky venue as he has also handled one of his Whippets to the Dog Challenge Certificate there, too!
