WhippetBowie

Ah heck we try. Thanks

Bowie sends Bowie boops

Yup Bowie is a 6 year old Whippet. Certified good boy.

(thank you)

Bowie is happy to be of service

😳

Read the username.... Ok. Ok.

I understand what they were going for. Batteries are heavy, so keep the car light and nimble and completely impractical as anything but a local commuter.

Ooof. So we only have street parking here, but we have a public charger just steps from the house (not Tesla)

I've got a few years left on the Mazda. If the leaf can get access to Tesla chargers I might be game.

EVs are such a mess in North America. Unless I want a Tesla it feels like I can only get gigantic SUVs or expensive luxury cars.

I just want to replace my Mazda 3 with an electric equivalent

Absolutely! Good luck! Positive reinforcement works really well for these guys

Yes that exactly. His recall is AMAZING, but only when he feels like it. Often he'll run in the opposite direction, pee on a tree and then come running to me at 50kph. Whippets were bred to be independent hunters so they make their own decisions.

Also be warned about 1/3rd of the whippets we know have a big squirrel body count and can't really be let off leash. Bowie is not a killer and we're grateful for it.

Edit: forgot to mention the first two years of Whippet life is difficult. All the bad points are exaggerated. They really calm down after two years.
