The Whippet is a graceful, smooth-haired creature, in whose veins the blood of the Greyhounds flows. The breed was developed in the 19th century for hunting rabbits and participating in dog races.
#1 Whippet is an athlete, a skilled hunter, a sophisticated intellectual, capable of decorating with his own presence not only an apartment, but also the life of the owner.
#2 Attachment to the owner and an ineradicable desire to participate in all his endeavors – that’s what distinguishes the breed in the first place.
#3 Whippets manage to establish contact with other representatives of the domestic fauna without much effort.
When I built my current house 15 years ago I carefully planes the inside so the Whippets could run. They use it every day. Some days get too hot. I landscaped the yard to take as little space as possible and grass in the rest for the dogs.. Again they car run a figure 8 or circle or whatever. This summer I am going to put DOG certified artificial turf in. When I lived in California I had a great dog park close that we spent an hour at every day we could., but not here. So I had to find some places they can run. I love to watch my 2 Whippets chase each other around the house.
