People often assume the dogs are young Greyhounds.
In fact, the Whippet is very much like his cousin, the Greyhound, in both body and spirit. But in a smaller, more convenient package. Whippets are graceful, affectionate, mild-mannered and easy to care for. It was my admiration for Greyhounds that led me to adopt my first Whippet in 1982. I was living at home with my parents at the time.
