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.
Can Whippets be left alone?
With proper socialisation and training, a well adjusted adult Whippet can be left alone. However, many canine experts don't recommend leaving any dog for more than 8 hours.
Do Whippets bark a lot?
Do Whippets bark a lot? No, Whippets are not known for being very vocal. They may bark to alert you to creatures outside or if the doorbell rings. Some bark when playing or to communicate a need.
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.
What are Whippets like to own?
They are gentle dogs who still love to chase, so a secure garden is a must. They're quick and agile and love being around their owners. Like Greyhounds, Whippets need to be able to have a good run around but will then happily curl up on the sofa for the rest of the day.
