The Whippet looks like a miniature Greyhound. He is a medium
size sight hound giving the appearance of elegance and fitness,
denoting great speed, power and balance without coarseness. He
is the fastest breed in the world been timed at 36.5 mph for a
short distance. He is a gentle, affectionate and adaptable, a
splendid watch dog, a delightful companion or a great jogging
partner. He is one of the friendliest of the sight hounds, but
can be initially nervous or reserved around strangers.
