About The Breed

Known for their sleek, athletic build and incredible speed, the Whippet is a graceful and elegant breed. Often described as "the poor man’s racehorse," Whippets are renowned for their agility and are capable of reaching impressive speeds in short bursts. Despite their racing abilities, Whippets are gentle, affectionate, and calm indoors, making them excellent companions for families and individuals. They are friendly and good with children and other pets, but they do require regular exercise to keep their energy levels in check. Whippets have a short coat that is easy to maintain, and their quiet, loving nature makes them well-suited for both active and relaxed households.
