Significance of a Whippet

A vision of a nimble and athletic figure is formed when the breed Whippet is mentioned. Characterized by a profound torso and thin abdomen, a slender head supported by an arched neck, and skinny but powerful legs. Whippets prefer stretching out and relaxing for lengthy periods of time in between spurts of furious pursuit and relishing the role of a beloved and adored friend. Contrary its high energy appearance, the Whippet is a sturdy, low-maintenance dog.

History of the Whippet Breed

Throughout history there've been dogs which resembled Whippets. Greyhound-esque dogs appear often in art and sculpture through the ages. They were not commonly known as Whippets until the middle of the 19th century, when the present notion of "pure breeds" was created.

Early descendants of the Whippet were instructed to hunt hares in the open field, when a dog's speed and ability to seize its prey, rather than tracking or following a smell, were the most important factors.

In 1888, the American Kennel Club recognized the very first Whippet. Racing proved a wonderful outlet for the breed's demand for speed.
