May Breed of the Month: Whippets

[@tesstobin5416]

Whippets are simply the best

[@lovely-mk4rt]

Ideally having a fenced in yard is healthier than an apartment. They are poetry in motion when fully running, then quiet and sweet. I’ve had many in my long life. I love them dearly 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@themill2536]

Totally agree!! They are a neat breed!

[@Australia-ky7kx]

Truly amazing beautiful animal.. I think a Whippet is my next dog.

[@thedivinemrm5832]

You won't regret it. I miss my whippet girl every day.

[@saamofn]

same, my aim is top to get one in 7 months after completing my military service

[@themill2536]

Whippets are a great choice for a fun loving family dog! :)

[@CueDriver]

Just got mine a few weeks ago. I had 2 of them in the past and are my favorite breed. Was so happy to get another one. Been happy ever since.

[@adammfanning3654]

A beautiful pet!

[@themill2536]

Thank you!! :) Eva is out Hampstead store managers pet, we love the videos she shares of her!

[@cbrock5529]

My next dog is going to be a whippet, I’ve fallen in love with the breed working with them at a dog training facility.

[@lenkafrys8671]

LOOOOVE whippies, I own 2 girlz and love head over heals. I praise this breed wherever I go! My breeder and her friend, also a breeder have become my closest friends. I owned a saluki, borzoi, but whippies are by far the best of greyhounds

[@garydai5966]

High information density but also clear and structured. Love it

[@themill2536]

Thank you!

[@sunson1491]

Dude I love your dog. Never seen a whippet in person but I want one! 😫

[@alexlola4723]

whippets are the greatest ❤

[@Whippetinthewoods]

Whippets are the most chilled, lovable of any dog I've ever had. Everyone should have one!

[@NM-ub6ml]

My one is not chill outside of the house. Very excited and goes from 0 to 100 in the chase in the blink of an eye

[@miracleschurchmusic7070]

@@NM-ub6ml That's true, mine can be explosive for ten minutes then sleep for a day!

[@themill2536]

They sure are great pups!!!

[@lesleyphillips931]

I'm too old now at coming up 80 but if I could manage another dog it would be a whippet. Loving and fun and good for the whole family. I enjoyed your film very much Thank you 😊

[@themill2536]

Thanks for watching!! :)

[@kimosill413]

You nailed it! Dasher could her brother, he has the same white goose pattern on his back. Best dog ever!

[@KarlWeberPhD]

Please keep these wonderful dogs a secret. We do not need the greedy, puppy mills going after them.

[@jessebarrett7968]

I have a whippet named Eve too. She's 16YO, is all white with black "bruises" around her eye's, just like the robot Eve from Walle.

[@themill2536]

Awe! Cute name!!

[@maureentjeh]

Lovely doggy, looks a lot like ours! I understand that its scary to let them off leash. I can recommend to try it, we let ours run daily in areas away from busy roads and without wildlife. She wears a tractive tracker, we only used it when she was scared by a remote control car and ran away (she was waiting for us a 100 yards away). It's amazing to see them run, and you turn an active dog into a couch patato within 20 minutes. A friend of ours even thought their 6-year old adopted former race whippet not to chase animals, so anything is possible, the skye is the limit. :D

[@themill2536]

Totally agree, just in the right place at the right time! :) Exercise off the leash is great for them to get some extra energy out.

[@Whippetinthewoods]

Away from roads and busy places, ours is really good off the leash, very good recall with a little food treat bribery! Exhilarating to see them running in full flow. Gets home and sleeps the rest of the day!

[@charmainelee8815]

Our whippets are lap dogs and are lovely tempered dogs, not destructive at all at our house,

[@94MRPONCHO]

How did you teach her how to drop and leave it?

[@mitch3384]

Whippets seem to have the funniest personalities. I'd love to own one, but there's no way I could keep up with the exercise requirements.

[@themill2536]

They sure are energetic and full of love!

[@chrishynes6091]

I miss my girl. Lost her to a terrible accident. I'm on the search for another Whippet. Wish they were more available; I'm in Pa and it seems that most breeders are so far away.

[@themill2536]

So sorry to hear this!! We hope you had success in finding your next Whippet!

[@chrishynes6091]

@@themill2536 Thank you! Shortly after my searching a breeder contacted us that one of their sold whippet pups was being returned by a couple that decided they had too much going on for a puppy. We didn't hesitate, and now have a boy whippet in the family. 😃

[@LarryKos]

Well done…we’ve had five whippets in our family and each one had an individual personality…

[@themill2536]

They sure are a fun breed!!!

[@wadebeardsley60]

They seem harder and harder to find. Do you have a good recommendation for a breeder?

[@jnt6239]

If you're in the US, I'd check out Pinnacle in Georgia, which produced top show dogs. I got my whippet there, and he's wonderful.

[@chuckjoerendt3579]

My first whippet we had to make that difficult decision 12 days after her 18th birthday 😢

[@nbenefiel]

We have a Whippet. He is adorable, but he is the most destructive dog we have ever had. We love him though.

[@themill2536]

With all that energy, they can be destructive! They sure are entertaining though!!

[@nbenefiel]

@@themill2536 It’s OK. Who needs shoes anyway?

[@jodyjackson5475]

Your video is great but audio is spotty

[@SabineKehl]

You should really clip her nails. They are way too long which can result in injuries

[@TommyVoit]

0:28 I love whippets, but they are NOT great swimmers. Whippet swimming involves a lot of flailing.

[@themill2536]

It might take some practice! Eva loves water time!! :)

[@nathanbrowne2800]

They need time off the leash so they can release that explosive energy.

[@themill2536]

For sure!! As long as it's a safe place for off the leash time :)

[@d1ehl.]

[@timstokes804]

Learn to spell: the plural of whippet is whippets--no apostrophe.

[@themill2536]

We stand corrected! Thank you for pointing that out.

[@johnread2250]

The best dog in the world. Please take off the ridiculous neckerchief, serves no purpose and detracts from the sheer athletic beauty of the dog. Why do people dress dogs up?
