Tippy toes

How about these for shoes? Do you think Elsie would fancy a pair @phil_howcroft ?

I don’t think she would be seen in a pair of those poncy red leather shoes!,,

I must say though apparently whippets tiny delicate front feet get quite bruised walking on hard pavements ….thats what the owners told us anyway.

They were very friendly & im sure get a lot of attention.

Kenna bought a pair for her GSP for Christmas.. more for heat in the summer.. but the video of when she put them on was hilarious..
Cute photo..

[Dawn]

[Kitty Hawke]

[Joan Robillard]

Too adorable.

[Carole Sandford]

Ooh everyone will want their dogs in some of those “Bobby Dazzlers”!

@julzmaioro

Ha ha yes I guess heat could be a big problem!

[Loopy-Lou]

Lovely cute photo. Becky has shoes for her dogs when it snows.

[Phil Howcroft]

awww I love this Pat , so cute , I will ask Elsie what she thinks when she wakes up , she's snuggled next to me on the sofa at the moment .

We keep her paws and pads free of salt and grit in Winter as that causes issues for all dogs . I don't think she would keep the boots on for long !

@phil_howcroft
They were a sort of thin rubber, stretchy too. Very red! 🤣🤣

Cute pic

[Jane Pittenger]

They look like ballet dancers

[Babs]

Interesting. Don't their back legs suffer in the same way their front ones do.

[Peter Dulis]

LOL - perfect;)

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing Apparently not Babs! I asked that & it’s the pressure the front paws take they said!

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh my word, that is a splendid image! And I immediately thought of Phil, too!

[Boxplayer]

Fabulously adorable!

[Brian]

LOL. Great capture

[Dione Giorgio]

To be honest, I don't think dogs would love to wear shoes but maybe after some time they will get used to wearing them. The dogs have lovely colourful coats. But I am mostly attracted to the sweet look in the face of the dog on the right.

ha ha ha ha ha

[Rob Z]

Good heavens - they are amazing. But, what about they little hind feetsies??

[Pat Knowles]

@robz Apparently there is less pressure on the back feet as the front paws take the force if the weight! I asked that same question!

[Pat Knowles]

@sangwann The one on the right is the boy….i was told their names but have forgotten.

[Junan Heath]

Adorable capture!

[Dianne]

They look very jazzy with their boots and flash jackets.

[Maggiemae]

Seen here the whippets look like darling dogs and I expect, Phil @phil_howcroft thinks so too!

[Sarah Bremner]

Cool characters! I must let Laura see this photo.... not sure if Zinc has shoes!

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 Ooh Laura has a Whippet! 😍

[Sarah Bremner]

@happypat I'm not sure about the exact 'variety' but zinc was a rescue greyhound of some kind. He'd just been running for a couple of years and is the loveliest gentle creature.
