thank you freya your right there about health tests on whippets ive never seen any health problems in whippets myself , and has for titles then personaly if a dog is just a family pet then i dont see the point in having show champions in their breeding not if they are never going to be shown or used in the field championships , my dogs are not kc reg but they are still pure whippets .but as for mating seren again like i said earlier she is 6 in july and in my opinion she be too old anyway , her next season want be until around august so she will be 6 by then

My knowledge is very limited on this topic but sure there are plently of experienced owners onher who will confirm that six really is too old.

off to look at the piccys now
Absolutely - way too old for a first litter - 5 is the absolute maximum recommended age for a first litter and personally I would say ideally 4.

Re: not sure if she pregnant

yes thats why i tried mating her last october because she was only a little bit past 5 yrs then , did plan breeding her at around 4 but my bitches only come in season every 9 or 10 months , i was planing on mating her in december 2010 but we had bad snow here at that time n wasnt possible to get out to take her to stud at the time , we were snowed in couldnt get cars out at all
