Today's video is all about the Whippet.

The Whippet is a lean, muscular, athletic dog.

They balance muscular strength and power with grace and elegance, being built for speed and work.

Their coats are fine and short and come in a wide variety of colors and mixes of colors.

Whippet History And Origins:

The Whippet was once referred to as the 'poor man's Greyhound' and that described them well.

They were developed in the 19th century by miners in the north of England who couldn't afford to keep a Greyhound so they invented their own smaller, less costly version.

Records of these breedings weren't kept, but depending on who you believe, they were either progressive breeding's of smaller Greyhounds or else Italian Greyhounds crossed with Manchester Terriers with back breeding to Greyhounds.

However, they were largely used for the sport of competitive rabbit killing.

Rabbits would be released and the first dog to make a kill won.

This permitted the miners to engage in gambling with little cost.

When cruel sports were banned, they turned to 'rag' racing where a cloth was dragged in a straight line and the dogs would race.

These two sports gave rise to the Whippets' other names.

These names were Snap Dog and Lighting Rag Dog.

Today the Whippet has won fans all over the world as a gentle companion dog.

Whippet Personality:

The Whippet is a gentle, patient, tolerant, and affectionate dog.

Although they are competitive when on the chase, they are adaptable and quiet dogs.

They can be highly strung and need understanding from their owners. Loving to their family, they make rewarding companions in the right home.

Who Is Best Suited To A Whippet?

Whippets are often best suited to Senior Citizens.

This is due to their willingness to simply trot when it comes to their exercise needs.

They are also a very calm and quiet dog who will sit with their owners for long periods.

What About Kids? Due to their nature, Whippets can get along very well with children. Whippets generally do well with children of all ages. However, they do prefer slightly older children who won't be tempted to pull at their tail and ears.
