Whippets are amazing! We have one (I’ll post a pic when I get back home) and the outlaws got a rescue whippet on the strength of ours!
As with all dogs, each one is different.
Ours has an hours run off the lead each day during the week and then longer fri/sat/sun. He then spends the rest of the day asleep!
Coats, if you need one on why shouldn’t the dog!? In all seriousness, he’s not bad with the cold as long as he’s moving, but refuses to budge if it’s raining and he doesn’t have a coat on (as do i).
Toby loves kids, has had little ones hanging off his tail walking round the garden! He doesn’t mind rough and tumble, but goes back to his bed when he’s had enough.
I didn’t want a dog, until we got him 6 years ago, now I want another whippet!
The only downside is he’s a thief! Anything remotely tasty and he thinks it’s rightfully his 😀
