Hi! My whippet does that too. Weird right?! this is due to the fact that, this is their tender area, meaning fragile and sensitive to touch. hope i helped! :)
If sighted in or around the Port Authority Bus Terminal, it's a Greyhound (Bus). Kidding aside they are similar dogs; the Greyhound is used in commercial dog racing and is tall- coming up to the midthigh. The whippet is smaller- about knee height. Both the greyhound and whippet come in many colours and with many markings, including brindle. Whippets were bred as racing dogs and are still used as such in th UK, as well as being used to catch rabbits etc. They are faster than greyhounds and are the fastest dog in existence.
of course it would be the cheetah. they can reach staggering speeds of up to 70mph and with whippets they can run up to 40mph. hope i helped :)
you need to exercise them regularly by giving them a short run or a long walk. whippets love attention but they usually require an intermediate level of maintenance
First thing is beagles were bred for rabbits and hares which can jump pretty good lengths and run in long loops some times a half amile before they start coming back towards you when they lose the rabbit they will start with tight loops about 5 feet across and get larger and larger till they pick up the trail again
it really depends they could cost around 200-1000000000000000 yeh sooooooooooooo
A dog. Miniature version of a Grayhound which can run almost as fast and turn better. (bred for show dogs hunting dogs and racing dos)
From experience . . . i have a senior 8 year old whippet x basset hound fauve de bretagne, i would highly reccomend james wellbeloved. it has given my dog Maisy her required joint care and nutrients for later life. She is very bouncy and happy. previously i had tried her on harringtons rice and lamb; to start with she was doing great until everyday she started to get weaker and weaker, and even had a fit in the night as her stomach was feeling horrendous. i am thrilled to be giving her great food that actually agrees with her VERY sensitive stomach!
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.
It depends on the age and personality. If the whippet is territoriol if the cat came into his area they would most likely be a stand off. However when the whippet goes into the cat territory they will usually follow the cat and not make a move unless the cat runs. But if you get your whippet as a puppy and you cat as a kitten they may grow up together and become friends.
a genetic disorder witch effects the muscles of whippets (dog similar to a greyhound) effected animals are born with what is essentially double muscles.
I would say that whippets are easy to train but considering that they are sight hounds, they get distracted easily.
A whippet is a crossbreed but an Italian greyhound is a true miniature of the greyhound which has been bred for thousands of years. A whippet is larger than an Italian greyhound and has larger paws. The height of an Italian greyhound is approx. 33cm. and its weight is 2.7 to 4.5kg
