Whippets were originally bred for catching rabbits. Later for both this and racing and lure-coursing. These days, the catching rabbits is frowned upon, so lure-coursing and racing have taken its place for the most part. We can say now, that the breed is bred to run in general. They love to run and are the fastest in excelleration and cornering, as well as one of the fasted in top-speed in general. The result of them being bred for performance has led to a healthy breed that can live a very long life if they avoid bad running accidents.
