The best place to get a Whippet is from a reputable breeder or from a Whippet rescue organization. For the rescues, do a web search. For the breeders, you can do the same, or go to: thewhippetarchives.net . There you can find your country, then click on breeders till you find one that has a website listed. It may take you a while to get the hang of the site because its true purpose is a geneological database for the breed. But it has to be the site with the most info. But if you want an easy way, do a web-search with the keywords "whippet breeders in <your country>, links". Its a great breed.
whippets are very adaptable indeed! i have a whippet x myself and she sleeps in the house and in my bedroom. Some owners however decide that they would prefer the dog to live in a kennel. this could be due to health and allergic reactions anything. they are great on the move too, they sleep in their beds and don't bark or cause any disruption when driving. they are the perfect dogs. they also do actually love the countryside that is where they were first bred, they can run for miles and have the stamina of an ox.
