#4 Whippets and other sighthounds have been present in art and literature going back to the 1600s (the first mention of a whippet was in 1610), but the idea of an official pure breed didn’t come about until the 1800s.
#5 There was a lot of interbreeding between types of dogs before official clubs were set up, but it is believed that the whippet is the descendant of the greyhound and the terrier.
#6 Whippets love to run and are incredible sprinters, but after brief periods of activity, they’re ready to kick back. If you get a whippet, be prepared to share some space on the couch.
I think one of my Whippets has this condition. She is very strong and her muscles are obvious. She is pure Whippet. Both parents were AKC certified. I did not certify them because I wanted companions. My most current Whippet I got as a pup. That was an exercise. I normally get my Whippets from breeders that had been keeping them for a few years. They do all of the training. This puppy, I had to do more training than normal. I love Whippets.
