Breed overview
Whippet
A.K.A.: Snap Dog, Poor Man's Racehorse, Lightning Fast, Pocket Greyhound
Overview:
The Whippet, often affectionately called the "poor man's racehorse," is a graceful and athletic sighthound originating from England, bred for coursing small game and competitive racing. Possessing a sleek, aerodynamic build, they feature a deep chest, slender waist, and long, elegant legs, perfectly adapted for their characteristic burst of speed. Despite their athletic prowess, Whippets are renowned for their gentle, docile temperament, making them exceptional companions. They are generally quiet and calm indoors, earning them the nickname "the couch potato of the dog world," and their relatively low grooming needs further enhance their appeal. Their adaptable nature means they can thrive in various living situations, including apartments, provided they receive regular opportunities for vigorous exercise, such as a good sprint in a safely enclosed area. Whippets are typically a healthy breed with a long lifespan, though some can be prone to certain conditions like deafness or eye disorders, which responsible breeders screen for. Their affectionate and playful nature makes them excellent family pets, getting along well with children and other animals, provided they are properly socialized.
