About the Whippet
Temperament

He likes nothing better than a run over the fields, but will always return when called. He is happy in close association with his human family and will take a full part in the family fun. But he was bred to race, hunt and course, and so he must have his good run every day – and then, being rather sophisticated for a dog, he will be happy to curl up quietly in a corner of your best sofa.

General Care
Whippet owners don’t know how lucky they are with such an easily managed little dog, which is free of inherited conditions.

Buying a Puppy
