Whippet Dogs

My whippet loved Iams mixed with some fresh meat. She also was particularly fond of chicken jerky strips. Generally, you feed a whippet a diet rich in protein. My whippet also received omega 3/6 supplements and a multivitamin every other day. She was beautiful, lean and fast.

They are big and sturdy. They look like a ChowChow without the wrinkles and all the hair. To me they look like a gold Akita.

Totally incorrect, they have a whippet like body with a staff / pit bull head. Good for rabbiting and foxing. Best described as a pocket rocket. They sand up to about 20 inches oin average

I wish I could post a picture of ours. She's built mostly like a whippet--large rib cage, skinny greyhound-like torso, long legs, long snout (but not as skinny as a whippet snout), but her head is shaped like a pit bull--squarish. Her haunches and chest are muscley like a pitty, her face wrinkles like a pitty, and her ears flop like a pitty. Plus, she is blonde with white boots and white strip up her snout. Her tail curves up like a whippet. Very pretty dog.

Well, a Whippet is a cross with a greyhound and another dog (commonly a terrier or a spaniel), so it depends on the strength of the other breeds. Although, greyhounds are taller and can run very fast but whippets are smaller and generally more stream lined! I'd say it's up to you but greyhounds are bred for racing!

Both of these dogs are quite simple to look after so it depends on which you prefer really but whippets might probably be easier as they are smaller. I am getting a whippet soon and a couple of days ago I wanted to know that to. Xx. T .xx (look for my other answers on animals around the place)

Flies love to bite the tips of dogs ears. We use a fly repellent that is used to spray on horses. Just a little dab'll do ya. Reapply as needed.

Yes, but very little.

Italian is a kind of Latin, in a sense, since Italian developed from Latin.

Latin still has its old case endings such as -us, -um, -ius, -ii, -ae, etc.--this is the easiest way to spot Latin. If you see small words such as "il," "la," "e," "sono," etc., then it's likely Italian.

Hell yes!

Yes.

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

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)

10 to 12 pounds

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.
