    AWWWW...Ive never seen a BABY whippet before!  They are too cute!

     
    Me neither until I decided on this breed and started looking up baby whippets.  Thing is, they don't look anything like their full-grown selves, so perhaps we've all seen one at one point or another and not realized it.  The long whippet snout doesn't seem to develop for another month, and the skinny race body isn't here yet, either.  In due time, I assume!  I'm sure I'll be back posting progress pics.  Thanks for the kind words, all!

    What a perfectly elegant little man. His name is "The King" right? How fitting...he will rule your household for many years...lovely to see another Hound on the board. Arooo's to you from the Beagles and myself [;)]

    Welcome Leroi!  You are a cutie!!!!!  He seems to be a bit on the shy side, unlike Gina's hambones, er, beagles.  [:D]

    Hound conversation between a Whippet and a Beagle
     
    W: I say old chap...have you no dignity? After all the human is ONLY holding that treat above your immense noggin to laugh at you...
     
    B: Dignity? Is THAT what it is? I thought it was a piece of bacon! (jumping on hind legs, spinning in circles, and Aroo'ing)
     
    W: Hopeless...that's what you are my dear boy, hopeless.
     
    B: SLURP...(licks Whippet in the face after getting treat)...there, now you know what dignity tastes like...good isn't it?

    What a lovely pup!!!!  I LOVE whippets and will likely own one some day (when my current dogs are ancient and stop playing like sumo wreslers).....

    Welcome to I-dog Erin!  Leroi...you are too cute![;)]
     
    I know what you mean about Whippets and the way they change on you....greyhound puppies are the same. They look remarkably NOTHING like a full adult greyhound.
     
    There are several Whippets that belong to my greyhound walking club and they are brindles that are a little older and grey in the muzzle.  I think they are so darn cute when they get older.  They have that "wise" older greyhound look but on a minature size body. They are so sweet.  If properly trained they have the neatest dispositions too.  
     
    You two were lucky to find eachother!   [:D]

    Welcome, Leroi, you are as cute as a button! How do you pronounce his name and how did you come up w/ it?

    Adorable puppy I agree with jjsmom that they  change by the time they are adults. Cute at every stage though.

    Leroi is adorable! Looking forward to more photos as he grows. [;)]

    Leroi is pronounced "Leeroy" but is spelled Leroi because we've decided he'll be a bilingual dog!  One owner is french and on is english so we stuck the "i" on the end.  Technically it's "The King" but it's not pronounced that way.  Cheesey little play on words when you think about it, though! 
    I feel in love with whippets after meeting several that all seemed to display their own hilariously quirky senses of humor.  They are very big personality dogs in my opinion.  Can't wait to see how Leroi turns out - naturally he'll be the cutest, smartest whippet that ever lived...[:D]
