15 Informative and Interesting Facts About Whippets

#7 When chasing a hare, a whippet needs to make a quick decision to dodge after a small animal.

Large dogs are not capable of such maneuverability. Due to its small size, the whippet is ready to climb after the hare into the hole and get it right from there.

#8 Previously, the whippet was popular in the sport of hare chasing.

One hare was released into a special stadium circle, where a flock of Whippets chased him until one of the dogs caught prey. The sport was called inhuman and cruel, but another sport was found for the Whippets - chasing a mechanical hare.

#9 Whippets have the best eyesight of all dog breeds.
