Description
Whippets are elegant athletes who transform into professional couch potatoes indoors. They possess a gentle, affectionate nature, thriving on human companionship and often seeking to burrow under blankets for a cozy nap, sometimes right on a lap! Their brief bursts of astonishing speed and agility on a lure course or in a securely fenced yard are a joy to behold. However, their strong prey drive means they can be off like a shot if a squirrel or rabbit crosses their path, making leashed walks essential. For all their athleticism, they are surprisingly low-maintenance in the home, quietly claiming the softest spot available.
