Description

The Whippet is a very athletic and fast dog. Therefore, he is often kept as a racing or hunting dog. But he also feels at home in the family. He is very fearless and hardy, but tends to react peacefully to other dogs. His fairly short coat is very easy to care for. However, this also has the disadvantage that he cannot necessarily be kept outside in cold kennels. Regular walks, during which he can also run properly, are good for him.
