Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A gentle sprinter that turns into a sofa lover indoors
A sighthound bred for racing and chasing rabbits, the Whippet sprints at high speed outdoors but is quiet and affectionate at home. It feels the cold, has thin skin and a strong chase instinct, so safe off-lead areas matter.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.
