Whippet Puppies
The Lively and Energetic Whippet
Whippets are very close descendants of Greyhounds, and are often confused with that breed. They are very agreeable and gentle, but if they have something to chase their quickness is legendary. When they aren't chasing toys or prey they make gentle family companions and get along great with kids of all ages. They do well in any living environment as long as they get enough excercise.
