I will be sure to post some.
Otto exceeded all of our expectations this summer. We took him to the Alps assuming that a whippet wouldn't really adapt to mountain sports that well.
His limits were fairly meagre in the first few weeks but his fitness improved incredibly quickly after that. He went from a dog who would need a big sleep after a 6 mile flat walk to a dog who can chase marmots on a 15 mile walk with 1500m of up and 1500m of down across boulder fields.
Ice and snow on th glaciers no problem...all he needs is a jumper. Obviously winter will be a different deal which is why shoes and doggles are in order.
Dogs really are incredibly adaptable creatures. He's rippling with muscle compared to how he was...we've created a monster!

Spare a thought for us, who will be attempting to convince a dog to wear shoes and sunglasses this winter. Hoping that Otto taking to jumpers and onesies quite easily means he'll shrug off our latests attempts to demean him.
Did I say sunglasses? I meant to say doggles.
