Whippets are natural family pets and are good with both small children and other dogs. They make a great breed to keep the kids tired and older dogs energized.
What's it like owning a Whippet?
Whippets are playful but gentle dogs. In addition to being one of the most affectionate breeds, whippets are also funny, clever, and playful. They're mischievous (especially as puppies) and often have their own agendas, which they'll try to put ahead of yours!
Can Whippets be left alone?
With proper care and training, Whippets can be left alone and be comfortable with it. However, any dog will become distressed if they're left alone for too long.
Do Whippets bark a lot?
Whippets are sleek dogs that somehow resemble a Greyhound in appearance. They are not inclined to bark much because they tend to have a shy and reserved temperament. The fact that they may or may not bark at strangers approaching your home make them poor guard dogs.
Do Whippets like to cuddle?
Cuddles. They may not be the fluffiest of pups but, if you're sat on the sofa, don't be surprised to find your whippet wants to cuddle up to you. Which is great in winter because they serve as a little hot water bottle.
