Considering a Whippet?

Many people believe that an adult dog will never bond to a new owner as well as a puppy would. This is, at least in the case of whippets, absolutely not true! The whippet is definitely a "love the one you're with" breed and most adult whippets adapt very readily to a new home.

Exercise

Whippets need a regular chance to run. A large fenced yard (say at least 100' long) is ideal. If you don't have that, you'll need to visit a neighborhood tennis court or other large fenced area three or more times a week. Whippets are usually calm in the house but most have spells of running and leaping about in play a few times a day. These 'tears' are rarely destructive; whippets are not given to bodyslamming the bookcase or clearing the coffeetable with a sweep of the tail. If your whippet is more active in the house than you like, he is probably not be getting enough exercise.
