The Whippet is a fast-running, robust, intelligent, and confident dog. This dog can run up to 35 miles per hour (56 kph) for short distances.
This hound was bred for racing in Great Britain in the 1800's. It was probably bred from the Italian greyhound and terriers. The Whippet is also a good rat catcher.
Anatomy: The Whippet is about 17 to 20 inches (43-51 cm) tall at the shoulders, and weighs about 28 pounds (13 kg). This lean, long-legged dog has compact feet, a long muzzle, wing-like ears, and large, oval eyes.
