FASTEST DOG ON THE PLANET?? Whippet Review

ok guys latest video i shot before my accident i am out of the hospital and on the mend also back filming! heres a quick review of one of my favorite sighthounds the whippet

[@LiamMurphydogs]

Hi guys I’m sorry for the delay was in the hospital for some injuries I received from an accident IM OK luckily just a really messed up shoulder but back to making videos. Thank you guys for all the emails and messages much appreciated you guys are the best!

[@lampshade452]

Glad you're ok!

[@joeseph2201]

I hate to sound mean but it needs to be said...your audio is this video was really bad X(

[@worldofpets6738]

How long does the whippet live for?

[@gloria2619]

Just adopted a four year old rescued female whippet. She is so charming and quiet. A total velcro dog. The only racing I've seen is to beat me back to my chair. Lol. Loves to cuddle and car rides. She usually only barks to tell me it's her walk/run time. Only 6 weeks and I'm in love and wishing for another.

[@Ayerstairs]

Love the breed. We've had 5. Don't forget to consider rescuing a senior. Senior whippets are outstanding companions, and occasionally breeders have older whippets that need homes. Also, Whippet Rescue and Placement is the national organization to contact if you're interested. Whippet puppies are like living with a crazy squirrel, but they will sure steal your heart.

[@nm425]

what's their website

[@mediumoconnell]

Mine got euthanised a few months ago ):

[@Ayerstairs]

@@nm425 Sorry for the late reply. whippet-rescue.org

[@Ayerstairs]

@@mediumoconnell Wow, so sorry. An absolutely horrible experience. We’ve had to say goodbye to 4 and our 5th is nearly 15 years old. We just have to keep remembering the good times.

[@TM54561]

You're not wrong, my Whippet puppy is 12 weeks old and he has incredible energy, and he's so athletic that he can get into trouble much quicker than most breeds. We are completely in love with him though, most of the time!

[@WhippetsMI]

Liam, you totally get whippets, and they love you. I am the proud breeder of Crush and Davis. Thank you for spreading the truth about this charming breed I have adored for 52 years. Daire is lucky to have someone like you to care for her whippets. Glad you are okay after your accident!

[@remygirl-mn5kk]

Iva Kimmelman My mom and dad had a whippet when I was born. He was my first best friend and lived to be 17 years old. I think my love of animals stemmed because of him. He was the most loving creature and was always there when I was sad or upset. I am 42 and still miss him. Thank you loving and keeping this breed going!

[@valeriemcbride5659]

One whippet is never enough. Love them. Best friend ever

[@todaXPTO]

I have a whippet, they are lovely. He's 9 months old. We live in an apartment, I take him out for 2 hours in the park and the rest of the time he can be found sleeping in the couch

[@johnyracercat]

2 hours every day?

[@todaXPTO]

@@johnyracercat One hour in the morning and one in the evening, yes

[@renee16us]

I ended up w a Whippet/ Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Total accident! She’s a rescue, was a fat wrinkled pup and I fell in love. I couldn’t figure out why she was so busy. She played for hours. Literally, hours. Non-stop. That’s the ridgeback I think. I started taking her to the park. She was keeping up w the greyhounds. That’s the whippet. Except they stopped running after a bit and chilled. She ran for about 3 hours straight, 7 days a week until she was 3 years old. (More ridgeback features) She’s 5 now and can run for an hour without breaks, but will stop for about 15 minutes in between. She’s still happy with the 3 hour window. Kinda funny looking: long body, long neck, very lean. But her muscles are thick and heavy. She has a little peanut head. Her feet are HUGE! Really outsized for her body, but she runs flat out over any terrain like it’s grass. And if she hits you while running, it’s a total wipeout. If I had known what I was getting into.....but I love my girl.💕

[@Molossian]

Lol 4:45 - 4:53

[@olgaorange]

Glad to hear you're on the mend - thanks for the review and Happy New Year!!!

[@tonyroman4054]

Liam, great review on the whippet! Sorry that you hurt your shoulder. Hope you feel better soon. Happy New year! And look out for your dogs. New years can be tough on dogs, with all the noises and fire works. My French bulldog hides underneath the bed to get away from all the noise. Thanks, Tony

[@Naranja93]

I think this will be the dog of my choice. Thank you for the review!

[@JessBeautyJunkie]

Yay! The sighthounds are amazing! Italian Greyhound at some point, pretty please! Sighthounds are some of the sweetest dogs out there

[@misse5860]

Feel better glad your back. Happy New Year😁

[@steezli]

A Whippet won the AKC this year.

[@joshuak8009]

I enjoy your reviews and your humor.

[@rca6576]

We pick up our Whippet puppy on Sunday this week! We have been chosen by the breeder to co own a show puppy. We feel honored she asked us and I have co owned a show dog before though not a Whippet. We chose this breed for all the reasons you listed. I am in love with Irish Wolfhounds too but, I wanted a breed that is longer lived this time around having had a Great Dane in the past, I wasn't sure I am at this time anyway ready for the health issues and the short life span. We're very excited to go on this new journey with our new puppy and can't wait to start training. Our plan is to start with this puppy and add a second Whippet later on. We're in Canada so I imagine my dog clothing bill will be significant.

[@franreid8203]

I have a whipped, great dog, beach 3 times a week for running, long walks 4 times a week, no hassle, sleeps all the time a real cuddle bunny.

[@johndouglass3691]

Those are two very handsome hounds. Look just like my lovely Liadan.

[@lampshade452]

Yay sight hounds! Can you do an Irish Wolfhound review someday? Thanks!!

[@timslater566]

Wow! Your dogs have the cutest faces! I had a Basenji for 15 years and Whippets are just as cute. Understood your accent by the way.......I’m from Mass. myself....LOL!

[@nimakhaleghy6679]

These dogs are amazing.

[@peterbarrett5496]

I have whippet mix and she’s great. The temperament you can’t beat it, always a sweet innocent looking face inside, then a playful rocket at the dog park not timid. And she never barks. She def chases chihuahuas and little dogs at the park until they hide under their owners legs tho. I recommend a mix because she is more furry and not so skinny.

[@Kin08006]

Thanks for the vid. Love your content! Think you could do a Shiba anytime soon? Also maybe the Akita? That would be amazing! Thanks! :)

[@MatoNupai]

I rescued a 7 month old whippet Jazmine (Jazy) a few days before Christmas 2019. Love the breed! Whippets have top speed of 35 mph almost as fast as thoroughbred! The whippet is a cross between greyhound and terrier

[@linajurgensen4698]

They look so elegant.

[@ileolai]

Yeah! My favourite dogs! 👍

[@johndouglass3691]

OMG your whippets look like my beloved Liadan, who I had to give up due to poverty. So beautiful.

[@ratterrierdogma]

OMG. This is the most worthwhile review of anything in the history of KZbin. I think the Boston accent puts it over the top. Wait... what were you talking about? Oh right. Booty shorts at the 99 or Reveeeah Beach.

[@davidattridge2731]

Yes Liam. Well done . I have had 3 Whippets and have one currently. I think your very accurate with what you say, except I find with exercise 30 min walk a day is and was enough to keep my guy and girls content. I do try to give him a morning and a night walk for up to 1 hr. If its wet and cold and I don’t walk him then he will get restless in the early eve, an start throghing a chew or ball around an catching it for 15 to 20 min. Lovely guy comes every where with me work, holidays love him dearly

[@Karebudesu]

Great review! Would love to see a review on Bull Terriers (standard or mini) 😁

[@jimbrown341]

Cool review! Those dogs seem so chill. Awesome breed. If you have access to a pure breed Xoloitzcuintli you should review it. Very tough to find good info about them. Absolutely love the hairless look. Reminds me of the Egyptian God Anubis. :-)

[@jaredkonior3870]

I CAN"T PUT MY HANDS DOWN LOL, I love my Whippet

[@lmc8833]

I'm getting a whippet puppy next year , can't wait

[@natashacabot6081]

Glad you're doing well! I'd love to see a Standard Poodle or Schipperke review. :)

[@naturegirl2110]

Standard poodle review. Tall, skinny dog. Picky eater. Velcro for sure privacy is overrated after all. Can have food sensitivity. Can be hyper but goes with the flow by extremely hyper as puppies. Want to be with the family at all times. Great with other pets and kids. Smart dog which in my case can mean stubborn because ours likes to think when told what to do. Goofy, silly hysterical, funny. Great family dog. Think I cover everything.

[@williambreeze2659]

Thanks for the video!

[@frankiegee6135]

Those two Whippets are very nice!

[@jenrich111]

Important points covered 🙂👍

[@goodboyzeek5844]

We are super quick!! Can't wait for dad to let me off leash somewhere HUGE

[@ladureelover7620]

Love your breed reviews! Where do you get all of your dogs?

Glad that you are ok man

Thank you Steez! Much appreciated

They are so cute I want one

[@jesusrod2059]

Thanks for the info Are they trainable for recall?

[@demirojo5728]

Could you please review the German Pinscher??

[@mapleleafmontreal834]

where do we get those awesome wide collars for our whippets?

[@tabs9655]

Great video again. Just wondered maybe a silly question, can they run off a lead? Sure I read somewhere Grey hounds aren't meant to? (Maybe wrong) but are these the same? Thanks

[@LiamMurphydogs]

D they can these two in the video are pretty good off leash but their owners spent a lot of time training them. you just want to be sure its in a safe area because I wouldn't Trust them fully. thank you so much D for the support you're AWESOME

[@1991LMR]

My whippet puppy just caught and ate a mouse 🤢 I enjoyed your review :)

[@WickaWhippet]

Whippets are the best, but no one knows this unless they have a Whippet(s), because they cannot be explained. There is a magic there that must be experienced to be understood.

[@marioreds7826]

i like your reviews. if i may say so, you might consider making them longer, so that you can go deeper into some aspects. i don't know other people but i woulnd't get tired of a 15 minute-video on a dog breed.

[@fayebourgeois8832]

Can u review the greyhound breed please? btw love your videos 💕

[@whosiskid]

If the pregnancy goes as expected, I should be bringing home a Whippet puppy this July (it will be born in May). I'm very, very excited. I'm happy to know about the special collar needs. I've always had German Shepherds in the past, and everyone I had loved their collar, and would get excited about putting it back on after getting a bath, so I'm expecting the whippet will also become attached to its collar.

[@franz3810]

long doggos interrupt handsome hooman

[@eddieroadrunner6691]

Mine is fifteen months old could not imagine life without him

[@banffscotland1]

You're opinion and may I say theory on whippets history is way out , whippets do have a lot of greyhound genetics even more so nowadays however they started off as ratting and rabbiting dogs terrier blood being a big part of there makeup , we may agree to disagree on the fact that whippets are a brilliant Breedon k9

[@sanjibsingh8374]

I have a whippet.very lovely breed.sinior breeder are also guide.

Can you do a Boston terrier review !

[@fkkfjdhd3644]

please could you do a patterdale terrier review, I think my patterdale would give a whippet a run for there money in a race. I love the vids keep up the good work

[@doodles863]

Your patterdale May be quick but believe me there is not a prayer he would keep up with one of these whippets, it’s like comparing a Jaguar to a Ferrari

[@kostanikolic4379]

Do a saluki review pls!

[@mikebates8402]

I love my whippet.

[@MrSpaceace1999]

The perfect dog except they will run away , hmm any suggestions for the next perfect affectionate breed , I’m in rainy and not too cold , lots of outdoor companionship wanted

[@cocobeanie4704]

I really love whippets but my parents think they look like pencils LOL. I have to convince them that just because they aren’t teddy bears they are such nice dogs

[@naturegirl2110]

Standard poodle review please!

[@Rebeccathompson23]

Can you please do a video on greyhounds

[@donaghgavin8132]

2 beauties

[@hanskloss407]

All whippet owners can support all your opinions on this fascinating breed. I think the whippet will tolerate up to half an hour of intense activity per day, e.g. running for frisby. His biggest drawback is his tendency to chase everything that moves quickly, including cars, and susceptibility to kidney problems if his body was cooled too much

[@NegaTive337]

Do a Yorkshire terrier review please

[@petercantremember253]

what about nail clipping and thunderstorms...my whippy hates both....and cute dogs those 2 lol

[@pauletteh7578]

How 'bout Italian Greyhound????? These Whippets are beautiful

[@jpah8944]

Whippets do not originate from the middle east or Africa. They were first created in England by crossing a sighthound with some variant of English Terrier. DNA studies show they aren't just small Greyhounds.

[@amitkainthola]

My dog looks exactly like these whippets

[@msalah1672]

What’s your advice for a first time owner?

[@LiamMurphydogs]

definitely get in with a trainer right away. if possible one who is familiar with the breed.

[@msalah1672]

Liam Murphy many thanks for your response, one more inquiry: what is the best breed for a family? Apart from golden retriever?

[@SaraBeauty-hu7ox]

Zero dislikes well deserved

[@JAMIES_LIFE_101]

Hey could you please do a Chiweenie review

[@jeffg.6510]

That is not a breed

[@hashtigerwoods]

i love you

[@madginger3634]

You said coursing right. You said 'skoff' wrong though lol Jk

[@PurpleCurllGurl]

Great review but there's something up with your mic for sure. Every time there's a cut or edit in the video it sounds like you're releasing air from a tire, it's only slightly annoying enough for me to mention it :D.

[@LiamMurphydogs]

It’s driving me CRAZY! I might switch back to my old one this new Rode mic has been nothing but trouble. Although I think it’s more me than the mic I have to learn the settings better

[@skatepark02]

Liam Murphy are you using de esser in premiere pro by chance? I find unless you have it in some sort of real time mode it will take a moment to kick in. That’s what it sounds like anyway. It’s definitely not your mic.

[@LiamMurphydogs]

thank you Lee! I just use iMovie but I'm going to switch to premier pro so I will definitely take that advice MUCH APPRECIATED

[@johndouglass3691]

Whippets can actually live over 20 years. The Fenland Forager has a healthy, active 20 year old whippet named Lilly.

[@davidattridge2731]

I should also make the comment that all three whippets and the greyhound I owned were all big sleepers. I mean World Champion Sleepers

[@melissaandrew8268]

I though whippet had the fastest acceleration but the greyhound had the greater speed.

[@titanhound6671]

and sloughis have the greatest stamina

[@quentondaniels8536]

Melissa Andrew - fastest acceleration in smaller distance and most agile of the sighthounds.

[@fridtjof8358]

I wouldn't use collars anyway. With my previous dog I used a harness, I never liked the idea of holding something tight to his neck.

[@reeldino2729]

whats up with the weird hissing after every transition

[@stephenmellentine]

Liam - Throw some trash on the Dalmation. *Almost* untrainable.

[@phil1bali]

Science says they are not closely related to middle eastern sight hounds like the saluki or sloughi. See DOI: 10.1126/science.1097406.

[@chunkymonkey55555]

Ok whippets, If they see a deer they will be gone. More chance they injure themselves because of their speed, shape and fur type. Apart from that fantastic dogs! They are lazy also, 1 walk a day is fine. They house train easily also. Unless you live in the artic or something like that, a coat in winter and when rainning is fine for keeping them warm. They do like to be under a blanket on cosy evenings or in bed with you.

[@hikegardentravel6546]

Where I live these dogs are more rare and cost thousands. Not that they aren’t worth it, just expensive for some.

[@emjayay]

Definitely a scahf.

[@adolfshitler3559]

Thought Salukis and greyhounds were faster?

[@LiamMurphydogs]

I think Salukis are the fastest but over distance I think. Damn you know your dogs!

[@adolfshitler3559]

Liam Murphy haha thanks man but most of what I know about dogs comes from your channel, have a good new year liam

[@rodneycornforth835]

The greyhound is the fastest dog, saluki is number two, and they can run faster and further faster than a whippet. Whippets are the fastest accelerating dogs though and would beat a greyhound over 50 yards, they can also jink and turn much quicker than larger sigjthounds, perfect for catching rabbits.

[@Thoracius]

Have a Whippet-Husky mix. She's a sweetheart. Acts and looks very much like a Whippet, except she loves the snow. Very friendly and very social -- absolutely has to meet every person she sees and loves to play endlessly with other dogs (even well after the other dog has had enough). But we can't let her play alone with kids outdoors. I don't know if it's that she's *too* playful or what, but she starts trying to wrestle the kids to the ground and when riled up like that is not careful enough with her teeth. She's having fun, but the kids are crying. Also chases joggers and tries to play with them -- a bit too rough. Maybe she'll chill out when she gets older.

[@Shorrocks1987]

5 for activity? All they do is sleep. 1-2 runs round in a circle does them fine. I've had whippets my entire life and i've never had one that would qualify 5 for activity.

[@pipcorteen874]

They're not small greyhounds

[@plersch]

Nice video, sound sucks

[@LiamMurphydogs]

sound is brutal I have no idea what I did bc it was fin e b4 I uploaded
