r/sighthounds

I just called Wise Heart Whippets, and they seem like completely ethical breeders. They do health testing, including heart testing, talked to me about the Whippets they own, and explained temperament differences between individual dogs. Overall, they seem to meet the standards of responsible and ethical breeding.
That said, I’d like to hear from people who have actually gotten a dog from them. Have you had a good experience, and do you feel they are truly ethical breeders in practice?
If they are as good as they seem, this is probably where I plan to get a Whippet if I decide not to rescue one instead.

I’m planning to get a puppy this or next year, so I’m curious what experience it was for others and what they would have done differently now

I've been thinking about adopting a silken windhound puppy, but from my research, kennels in Europe are pretty scarce. Does anyone know any reputable ones, preferably in Central Europe (Slovakia, Czechia, Austria, Hungary, and Poland)?

We have a 9 year old male whippet and a 10 year old female greyhound. They are both lazy but well socialized, exercised, and in good health. They are a great match for our lives, schedules, home, and each other.

We’ve been contacted by a rescue organization I had fostered for years ago, and they have a whippet (or whippet mix) who is in long term fostering and in need of a permanent home. Our home situation is a good fit for her needs and I’m comfortable with how to address her nervousness and separation anxiety. My big questions are around the move from two dogs to three.

How much more complicated will it be to walk them when I have more dogs than hands? Getting three dogs in and out of the car? Picking up poop for 3 dogs (and whippets poop so much!), three dogs to coax outside when it’s raining, and coax back inside when it’s sunny and I need to leave for work.

For those of you who added a third adult sighthound, how big of an adjustment was it? What are the other things I need to consider?
