We had our new dog yesterday. He's a 9 week old Deerhound Whippet cross with a bit of Saluki thrown in by the name of Merlin. Up til now we have always rehomed older dogs and currently have a 15 year old grumpy Jack Russell and a 7 year old yorkie x something (we think miniature poodle) which was born without a brain

This is the type of dog we have wanted for years and the way time passes so quickly decided to do something I thought we would never do and buy from a breeder. Our 16 year old collie x was put to sleep last August and only now can we face replacing her. I don't think you ever forget any dog but their lives are too short

They are all different people - you can never replace any of them. I still miss all of the dogs I've lost over 60 years but remember them for their individual traits.

You'll have great fun training that one to stay close - good luck!

As long as some whippet brains are there you should have a lovely dog.

I still miss my German Shepherds, we now have a collie and a collie lab who keep me on my toes. They would play all day given the chance and do anything for a toy.
