I met a Whippet this weekend...

It was a really nice day yesterday so Charlie and I went to the local dog park and there was a couple with a really pretty Whippet there. She was super sweet and super fast. LOL Poor Charlie was playing chase with her and his little legs just could not catch up to her. LOL Everyone there thought it was so funny. I could definatly see myself owning one of these dogs in the future if they are all as sweet as she was.

I had a friend that showed them back in the day... They are good dogs. But ya know, imo, I worked with greyhounds both as an assistant trainer to teach them about home life when coming off the tracks and I took care of them at a greyhound racing farm. They are by far my fave sight hound. Greyhounds were bred into greatdanes in the making. So, I love them too. But all in all the whippit is a really nice sight hound!! They usually are good temperd from the ones I have seen...

Yes I love the greys to. I worked for a very short while with a greyhound rescue in Tennesse and I loved them they were awsome! Some people think they need lots and lots of exercise but all of the ones I meet were very much couch potatoes. LOL Now don't get me wrong they would love when we would have the get togethers and let them run just for the fun of it but they were very mellow dogs.

I had a whippet mix for two years. Very stable dog. Naturally calm...and yes, very fast

Ya, just because they can run fast doesnt mean thats all they do. Even competitve runners (people) have cars and couches, lol
