Propósito original

Small-game coursing, racing, and companion work

Corpo e estrutura

Whippet is a medium dog with companion background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

The Whippet was developed in Britain as a smaller sighthound for speed, racing, and practical chase work. Its gentle home style and explosive sprinting both come from that same lightweight coursing heritage. In practice, that background helps owners connect origin with movement, handling, enrichment, and realistic training expectations.
