Sadly not with us anymore but the best dog ever.

Not a greyhound, not Italian greyhounds, but whippets. The middleweights of the greyhound coursing lineage. Oldest to youngest that are presently our housemates. First two are rescues.

Katie, looking back for her "brother" who is rapidly catching up to her. +/- 23 lbs and has been clocked at about 27MPH. Pic taken when she was about 9 years old.



Breeze, picture taken same day as Katie's, when he was about 5yo. +/- 44 lbs. He's oversized by a 1/2" or so and can't be entered officially in certain events. Clocked at nearly 30MPH in a 100 yd dash. As you can see, he caught Katie.



Dandee, who's not a rescue. We got him as at 8 weeks. We just found out his breeder is the President of the American Whippet Club or some such. He comes from very good lines. Unfortunately, The Corona put the kibosh on entering him in junior shows, we only hope we can get him in some athletic events next summer. Too early for that now, as he's just turned 11 months. Nearly as heavy as Breeze, but an inch or two shorter. He hasn't raced yet, but I expect him to be even faster than Breeze.

This thread does not suck.

I'd like to get an Italian Greyhound. I haven't, because It would be over the hill and in the next county before I could react to it.

He is a beast when hunting but a couch potato at home.



There is a teal and a gray duck in his mouth.

No sir, it does not.

Billy the main man.

Cleburne and Blondie, two dumped strays I took in this past summer....

Our Border Terriers Murphy and Maggie. I was always a big dog guy but this breed intrigued me so we got one after we lost our last lab. Great dogs, super personality, friendly and loving until they are hunting. They won't be denied and never quit. Have 1/3 acre of our yard fenced and anything that gets inside is in trouble. They made short work of a rabbit this morning, should have taken a picture. Snakes, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks and a cat have all been caught and dispatched rather quickly. My wife hates this part but absolutely loves them as do everyone who meets them. Their efficiency at killing is something to see. UPS guy yesterday asked what a big guy like me was doing with ankle biters, I told him he hadn't seen them in action or he would know.

If Border Terriers and JRTs were 100lbs, nothing would be safe.

She's gorgeous Ed !!

Lilly Ann, our loveable Sheltie grouch.

Most people have hunting dogs..... not me I have a fishing dog....

Perry and Ruby. My good friends and grouse hunting partners.
