The detail
An English sighthound bred to chase rabbits and race, the Whippet is built for bursts of speed and long naps afterward. Gentle, quiet and affectionate indoors, it is one of the easiest sighthounds to live with, but it must run safely.
What to weigh
Whippets chase anything that moves and can reach dangerous speeds, so off-leash running needs a secure area. They feel the cold, have thin skin that tears easily and are sensitive to harsh handling.
