Comprehensive Owner's Guide
Whippet
Elegant and affectionate, the Whippet rose from his humble beginnings as the "poor man's greyhound" to become an agile professional race dog and a highly prized companion and show dog. Today the breed enjoys great popularity around the world. The Whippet is hailed among the fastest of all sighthounds, though he is fairly small compared to the Greyhound. For the right active family, the Whippet makes an adaptable and fun-loving pet, as swift of mind as he is of foot.
The book outlines the breed's origins in England and its arrival in the US. The author discusses the breed's characteristics and standard and provides her excellent advice about selecting a well-bred puppy, rearing, socializing, house-training and obedience training. This colorful and fully up-to-date guide also offers guidance on feeding, exercise, home safety, grooming and other topics vital to the ownership of a Whippet.
