There's been like. One puppy update a week the past few weeks and I'm kinda sad about it. We can't make it to the puppy meet and greet this weekend (mostly because it's a 3 day round trip drive) and I feel like I have no concept of their personalities at alllll. We should be picking early next week and I just. Don't know. Don't have any feelings about either of them either way

How well would you say the play styles of collies and sighthounds match up? I wanted to get the opinion of someone who had owned both. I currently have a rough collie I'm thinking of getting a second dog in a couple years. I keep eyeing whippets and silken windhounds, but I won't go that direction if there are compatibility issues. Or maybe I could get a second collie instead so that they would have similar instincts.

they’re pretty well aligned, at least in my (limited) experience - stellinas breeder mentioned to me that both greyhounds and collies are “visual breeds” meaning they both tend to process information in a similar way. they’re also both (again, IME) dogs that are very conscious of personal space and their position in relation to their environment and other dogs, and respect that bubble. Most sighthounds and collies are going to enjoy games like chase and keep-away and bitey face, but not wrestling and tackling like a bully breed or terrier. sighthounds and collies also tend to be peaceable with other dogs and not too likely to start shit.

Boone was older by the time I got Stellina so they didn’t do a ton of play, but the only incompatibility I really ran into was sometimes he’d get too intent when chasing and try to nip, which she obviously didn’t like. But he was also twice her size so a whippet or silken would be a much more evenly matched partner.

Sighthounds are probably the group I’d say collies are most similar to after herders, tbh. But I will also say that having two collies together has been pretty seamless - it’s so fun to watch them play because there’s such a natural give-and-take to the flow of it. so I would say the most compatible breed with a collie would be another collie, BUT I think a sighthound (especially a medium-sized breed) is also a very good option and I wouldn’t foresee any issues unless the individual dogs end up being quirky in opposing ways.

RDR2 characters as dog breeds because they’re two of my special interests rn

Arthur - Kelpie. Always running around and chasing sheep (or in Arthurs case- people) so I think it’s fitting, also the pointy ears just fit Arthurs vibe so well

John - Okay don’t kill me but chihuahua. He’s tiny but he’s so snarky!!!

Dutch - He’s real serious and gets things done, so I’d say doberman. Kinda looks like him too if you squint

Hosea - Weimaraner, they’re sleek and look old. Like Hosea

Micah - Miniature schnauzer. I don’t think I need to explain this one

Kieran - Whippet, they’re super skinny and shake a lot, plus they kinda look like horses so it’s perfect for Kieran

Bill - Saint bernard. Fat, hairy, same face if you look hard enough

Charles - he’s buff as shit so American bully

Javier - Saluki, the long flowy hair on their ears kinda mimics Javiers curtain bangs (can I call them that???)

Sadie - Jack russel. They’re hunting dogs, they’re fast and they both have the same golden hair

Lenny - Golden retriever because he’s our golden boy and he is just so so cute and so happy <3

Karen - German shepherd cause she gets shit done amen

Swanson - Oh god. Irish wolfhound because 1. their hair is equally as messy 2. they’re both surpisingly big (I swear everytime swanson comes up to Arthur he’s the same height WHILE SLOUCHING) and 3. I had one knock me over at a dog park once because it wasn’t walking straight

Tilly - Teacup poodle because she’s insanely adorable and poodles often have that golden colour that reminds me of her dress

Sean - Shiba inu because they both got orange hair, they both have adorable smiles but oh my god the second they open their mouths you’ll never wanna have ears again

Strauss - Borzoi. Elegant but funny looking

Mary-beth - Cocker spaniel, they’re just pretty and have the same hair

Pearson - Pug. He’s ugly and is always breathing down my neck (yes I know we need food SHUT UP)

Trelawny - Maltese, specifically those ones with the insanely long, silky hair. Just so fancy

Eagle - Pharaoh hound? In every photo I see of them they look so serious and heroic. Also described as “elegant but rugged” which I think fits eagle perfectly

I need you to use your imagination here but just being best friends with 1984/1985 james.

I lich have no ideas what for of what scene so im encouraging you to use your imagination💪💪

raaaaa okay so im gonna post this as little ramble thoughts but if you want something fully written just ask!!<3

okay !! so

i know for a fact this mf would be the most endearing jerk ever. like turn up everyday but complain about not having anyone to makeout with but still turning down any chance just to hang out with you. even if its doing literally nothing.

he’d definitely bully you relentlessly for anything and everything. wear something too short one day? oh he’s not letting that slide. poking you at all times and calling you a tease, you’d roll your eyes and tell him to shut up and he’d stare at you with a raised brow and joke around saying you love it. you spill something on your self? oh he’s fucking wheezing laughing yelling “they pissed themselves!!!” but if anyone dare laugh at you he’d be up like a whippet, glaring at them and saying some shit like

“thats my best friend, only i can laugh at their suffering.”

i know he’d absolutely just collect random shit and bring it to you like little rocks or stupid doodles on sticky notes. laughing and sticking them on your head, thinking its the funniest thing ever.

anytime he discovered something new he’d HAVE to show you, like you’d have no choice. making you sit there and watch movies you’re not really interested in but you’d stick around because even though you act like you hate it, spending time with him was the highlight of your day.

guaranteed he’d force you to listen to any new tapes he found, looking at you the whole time and waiting for a reaction.

and my fave part i know this mf would be awkward as hell about feelings so if you we’re upset he’d just stutter and hug you, not knowing what to say but patting your head like an idiot.

himbo 80’s james has such a special place in my heart sighs happily

We need to start bullying fake cosmopolitans. The kind of person who is extremely defensive about pretending they're worldly in their local community and looks really paternalistically racist as they do.

Sir I can assure you, immigrants aren't immediately making your tacos. It's a 27 year old line cook named Chase who's addicted to whippets.

Hey I did more doodles of the DC DOGS au You all might remember Afghan hound Bart Now there is Papillon Tim Belgian Malinios Kon-El who wears on of them anti coyote vests for fashion alone I thought secret would be either a Whippet or Italian greyhound And lil lobo would be one of them cursed micro bullies since he's a messed up clone of Lobo who degraded over time, so standard Lobo would be a Pitbull. I also think lil lobo would wear an anti coyote vest but would use it for max damage when in fights with others Feel free to share thoughts and opinions about these and what dog you think the others would be (ID: Rough sketches of the dog versions of the DC young justice characters as described above -ID End)

Lmao I always see ur posts come up under random tags and it’s always the weirdest, most dumbass take imaginable. Congrats. I can tell you have gross little grubby sausage fingers even at a lower weight. Like chapel roan but somehow even more annoying. Cool it with the whippets perhaps bestie

"even at lower weight" LMAOOOO awww so even your hating ass acknowledges that I'm a skinny princess? Thanks 👸🏾🩷 Are you mad cause you're a fattie...with sausage fingers yourself? IDK, this insult seems way too specific (Chapel Roan, really??) to come out of nowhere... Projection ? 👀

And the reason my posts are reaching you is because I'm the CEO of Tumblr and I can manipulate the algorithm to hound & bully my haters with my pristine opinions. Of course cavern dwelling ghouls like you cannot bear my enlightened takes that can only be grasped by the most brilliant mind of this app. Seethe harder.

At the point when I had two whippets, one of them (the younger - great niece of the first whippet) constantly ‘stood over’ the elder whippet as a show of dominance. But it was like also the most hilarious show of dominance ever: the elder whippet would sit/lie down (because she was old and tired), the younger one would walk over and stand over the top of her wearing this *im king of the world* bully who just won a verbal battle expression, and the elder whippet would put on theeeee most long suffering facial expression (courtesy of whippet expressive eyebrows) without moving any other muscle from her comfortable reclining posture, tolerating it with every inch of her body

I love watching the girls interact at dog parks, as much as I am wary of taking them. A very excited bully puppy just had sights on the whippet, so the black dog put herself between them and intercepted the body slam. She's such a good big sister, though can verge into Fun Police territory if things get rough. She's the only one allowed to wrestle the whip.

Greyhounds who bully me for walks when I am recovering from mowing grass get the enrichment blanket

Whippets! I kept one for 17 and a half years, surprising our vet, and I miss him dearly. Also, I came here since you're a friend of a friend I played DND with, and stayed because of the intriguing (and at times hilarious) fantasy creature anatomy treatises.

How are you going? Sorry it’s taken me so long toe get around to your breed, the queue has been… long.

Please note the disclaimer that theseposts are about the breed from a veterinary viewpoint as seenin clinical practice, i.e. the problems we are faced with. It’s notthe be-all and end-all of the breed and is not to make a judgementabout whether the breed is right for you. If you are asking for anopinion about these animals in a veterinary setting, that is what youwill get. It’s not going to be all sunshine and cupcakes, and isnot intended as a personal insult against your favorite breed. Thisis general advice for what is common, often with a scientificconsensus but sometimes based on personal experiences, and is not aguarantee of what an individual animal is going to encounter in their life.

These little dogs can be thought of as miniature greyhounds, though they are smaller, not as strongly selected for racing and don’t go through the same training and supplement regimes as greyhounds often do.

Overall they are reasonably healthy. It’s rare for me to see them for an orthopedic injury that isn’t the direct result of the dog jumping off something too high. They do get the usual collection of old age diseases, but this is largely because these dogs are actually achieving old age.

Like greyhounds, whippets often have relatively thin skin, making them prone to minor scrapes and cuts, and are sensitive to barbituate (but not all) anaesthetics.

Dental health is very hit or miss with this breed. They either do very well, or their mouth turns into a sewer and needs multiple tooth extractions.

Anxiety seems particularly common in this breed, and not just as the vet clinic. I don’t think this is any kind of flaw in so many dog’s upbringings, I think it is a genuine predisposition within the breed. Many are manageable without medication though.

Eye problems the breed is predisposed to, but not nearly as commonly as other breeds, are cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy, both of which can result in blindness.

A quirk of this breed is that when they gain fat, they don’t always balloon out in the middle like many other dogs do. They tent to distribute their fat more evenly, so you can end up with a very fat whippet who does not actually look fat unless you are used to seeing this breed. If these dogs continue to gain weight you end up with something that looks like a whippet head on a stafford body.

Like many dog breeds, whippets will grow lipomas in their old age. These benign fatty tumors are usually limited to the body, rather than the limbs. In most breeds they’re rounded like an egg, but in whippets and other sighthounds they are often flatter and have a firmer texture. Fine needle aspirates can be performed to confirm in any case.

Bully whippets are the result of a homozygous myostatin mutation, effectively doubling the musculature of the dog. To my knowledge this mutation is unique to whippets, and affected dogs don’t seem to have any major issues from this mutation, other than occasional muscle cramping.
