About Whippets
The Whippet is a medium-sized dog, originating in England, a descendant of the greyhound. Because of it's amazing agility and speed, this sight-hound was originally bred as a hunting dog. It is the fastest accelerating dog, with a top speed of 35 mph. In addition to these fantastic qualities, the whippet makes a wonderful pet. It is very social and very devoted, forming a close bond with its person.
