I have 2 whippets. Lovely pets, crave affection and company so as a result can become a bit stressed when left alone at home… But not in an excessive way though. Will happily spend all day sat on your lap.
One of my boys is (unusually) proper tough and will go out in all weather, eat anything, and chase anything that moves, this has resulted with him scrapping with a fox and losing (stitches required), running into barb wire and losing (stitches required), fighting with a dog x 2 (stitches required x2)running after a deer and being returned later by a member of the public.. Other whippet is more reserved/typical; fussy eater, stays out of trouble, gets cold quick, wont step in puddles or go out in the rain etc, but will still be keen to give chase to wildlife.
Keep them warm and in sight and you wont go wrong! Clean dogs, fur doesn’t go all over and they don’t smell too doggy. Don’t bark too much either. Good around children also. Prefer short walks.
Charming, delicate, affectionate dogs I wouldn’t be without mine. Until they die of course!
