This one (mixed breeds are allowed and it’s just really great) and then this is another really good one.

Know of any border whippet breeders?

Ok so I have many things: ND (neighbors dog) HATES her leash, and people clipping it on or touching it, so when she gets tangled, I have to move quickly to untangle her, which makes her think that I’m playing, which in turn makes her jump on me. Help???
Also, how to prevent jumping? I don’t want to push her down bc I’m pretty sure she’ll think that I’m playing, which worsens the problem. I’ve tried squealing and turning away bc that’s what puppies do when they’re done playing, and it worked at first, but now does not.

I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a few of that cross on there and the Silken ones

One thing at a time. Walk her by herself, not with other dogs. For the tangling, stop untangling her. That's her job. Just stand still and hold your end of it. Be quiet, hold still, be patient. She WILL sort it out, I promise. Then walk again. I'm assuming you have a 4 to 6' leash? 6' is best. If she will walk close to you, gather up the slack and hold it up out of her way, but if she pulls away, let her have the slack, and if she gets tangled repeat the above. Keep walking if you can, stop if you must.

For the jumping up. PM me.

She is being walked by herself.

Yep, I’m good with that.

She also either doesn’t know her name or doesn’t respond to it

What breed?

What breed?

She's apparently a labradoodle, but tbh doesn't look much like a labradoodle to me, but might just be one that ends up with a flat coat

Anybody know about silken windsprites? (Whippet x sheltie) , or any other sport mixes, like border whippets, bull whippets, etc? Know any reputable sport mix breeders?

I don't know much about dogs but tbh it seems to me that since it's so hard to find reputable breeders for popular stuff like labradoodles it'd be even harder to find reputable breeders for sport crosses

You are in conn.? What is your budget?

Uhhhhhhhh around the price for a golden retriever from a reputable breeder, so I think $2000-3000 ?
