Dog breed · Australia
Whippet
Typical look — individuals vary, especially with crossbreeds and rescue moggies.
Sleek sighthounds that curl up on the couch for hours — then sprint like rockets off-lead. Secure spaces and recall matter.
SizeMedium
TemperamentQuiet at home, explosive on the chase
ExerciseModerate — enjoy free runs in safe enclosed areas
GroomingVery low
Care notes
- Warm coats in winter — minimal body fat.
- Never trust off-lead recall near traffic or open bush with prey.
- Many Whippets love lure coursing or sniff walks.
Generally robust; routine dental and weight care still apply.
