The Biggest Myth About Whippets!

[@Dubbelmums]

I have tried many breeds, labrador, german shepherd, pumi and i must say, whippet is the easiest dog ever. A run in the field ones a day and he is happy 🙂

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Yep totally agree 🙏😍👍

[@simoncoco1]

Hey... Can you write a few words about your Pumi? Ive been considering either a pumi or a mudi... Im active and loved my dogs in the past that have good drive and energy+ but are trainable and not too independent/stubborn. Thanks

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

@@simoncoco1 I don’t know anything about these breeds sorry 🙏👍

[@Dubbelmums]

@@simoncoco1 , A pumi is very intelligent. They love there own voice, if you do not want a dog that barks a lot, you must train it early not to bark. Quick-thinking, learns both good and bad things just as quickly. Must be brushed every week and cut at least 3 times a year if you are not going to the show. A really fun breed. Not as much guard in pumin as in mudin. Love agilty and other fast sports

[@KeefsCattys]

Or YOU are happy? Bet he'd love more !

[@GenuinePluko]

What I love about our 2 Whippets is they are happy with a 30 minute off lead walk, 1 hour off lead walk, 3 hour hike at the beach up all the sanddunes, i've never found them grumble at the distance, still zooming at the end of longer walks. The flipside on a shorter walk they are equally as happy and will go and crash out on the bed/sofa/rug etc 😄

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Yep just like our two 👍👍

[@vincentblack7467]

Lost my job just recently and getting help with my mental health problems and the lady who comes to see me mentioned about getting a dog. I used to have Bedlington terriers many years ago when they were not popular. I see they have got more popular were I live. I have always fancied a whippet and this video as made my mind up. You have two great special friends their.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Oh thanks Mac Louie is a trained therapy dog do check out my other videos they may help you too 🙏 all the best 😍🙏👍

[@PentragonCosplay]

This part of their behaviour (needing short, but intense moments of running and otherwise being okay with normal walks and otherwise snoozing the day away) was actually one of the reasons I choosed that breed. I read about this behaviour in some dogbreed-books, then informed myself on the internet if it´s really true and so many confirmed it that i just knew I found the right breed :)

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Excellent many thanks 🙏 😍👍

[@paulburley7993]

My male whippet was nicknamed "Bunny." My friends would say that's not a very masculine name for a boy until I explained that Bunny was short for Bunny killer!😂😂

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

[@chrisparent4660]

Had a Whippet who would tell me when he had enough. Would take the ball, frisbee whatever we were playing with, run to the door and drop it. Time to go in! Unlike many other breeds that could go on and on his exercise sessions could last as long as 10 or 15 minutes to as little as 1 or 2 minutes. I miss that little guy. He was a trip.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Thanks Chris 🙏

[@koreyb]

I've noticed the same thing with my Italian Greyhound. She will run like mad all over my yard, chase the ball a few times, and then she is done and wants to go inside and sleep.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Haha yes people are always shocked when I tell them my whippet lives in a small apartment with me. "But how does he get all that exercise??!"

I have two brother Whippets who are turning 8 this August. I adore them and they are great traveling with us and we keep them on the leash at all times unless its a fenced in area. Everything you said about your two is spot on like ours including being couch potatos. Thank you for posting!

[@kcuzz4091]

This is absolutely the kind of dog I want next. I'm not quite there yet since I just lost my dog recently. He was a mixed breed between pug, beagle, and something else and he lived for 17 years. So, I had him for a good long time which was a blessing. I've been doing my research and when ready will get a Whippet or perhaps one from a rescue that might be a mix.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Pleased it helped do check out my other whippet videos there’s lots of info on there too 👍 do hope you find your new best friend soon 🙏😍👍

You have said it before, the beach is one of the best places for a great zoom/mad run away from sheep nesting birds etc. I cannot wait for Willow's vaccinations to kick in fully so we can take her to Silverdale/Southport/Crosby/ West Kirby etc. She is 12 weeks old on Thursday and we have a Whippet because you said years ago about them being able to walk up mountains, but also sleep all day by the fireside, also low shed and low odour. We had to be very patient as lockdown scuppered our plans for the longest time with no puppies available from the best breeders. Then what do you know, we both went down badly with Covid the very day we got her, which was on return from a big Northern Irish family get together, our 1st in 2 years. Still, our dreams have come true and we are so excited to have the most beautiful dog- beautiful inside and out. Thank you so, so much for all your excellent Whippety Tips and keep them coming. How to gradually up the pace of exercise from ickle pup in arms to grown mountain ranger/fireside lover doggy would be a marvellous video if you have the time please xx

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

I’m so pleased you found your best friend 😍 as I keep saying you will be amazed how quickly she will grow you will soon out of the teething period and out and about Recall trying is critical even start it in the house 👍 re long walks and building that up Louie was climbing mountains at the age of one and all we did was slowly keep building up the distance and time of walking 👍 you will have no problem waking for a whippet is easy 😍🙏👍

[@fionatomney1418]

Thank you for explaining why you couldn't run them off leash on the moors, as my first reaction when watching was why not off leash? I have my first whippet, who is now 10 months old & he has surpassed my expectations. Absolutely delightful to live with & a friend to our cats, horses & other dogs. I live on a farm so it is lucky enough to regularly enjoy off leash gallops with my Dalmatian & Border Collie but as they are endurance runners I have to be careful not to let him over do it.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Thanks Fiona 🙏 yep take it easy to start with but he will soon be running sleeping running sleeping 😍 they are just the best dogs 👍 it’s sounds like you have a great set up there 🙏👍😁

[@crzyhorse88]

My 2 whippets have rarely done more than 5k in 1 day - a short mad run around, couple of short walks and they are happy, my little female absolutely hates bad weather and both will walk around puddles, they won't go to bed without their fleece jumpers at night and are by far the best dogs I have ever seen with kids..zero aggression to anything or anyone (other than rabbits, birds & small furries) -- also, like you say, they are happy with short walks or 10k, as long as they are with you they don't complain - once you have them you won't get another breed - i also recommend getting 2 minimum, as they love to cuddle up to each other.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Excellent comment many thanks 🙏 👍

[@gypsylane8723]

I have a whippet best hound ever. We walk in the morning and she has a run in the afternoon. Rest of the time she is a lounge lizard.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Yep 👍 that’s a whippet for you 😄 thanks for watching 🙏😍👍

[@jerymarika]

Our whippet usually gets 2 shorter walks and 1h walk every day and he's happy. In the 1h walk we usually make him run either in a dog park near our home or with a long leash for 10-15 min. When we do things we bring him with us and he happily follows along. But what he loves the most is lying on the sofa and getting cuddles! We really feel that he's a low maintenance dog.

Sight hounds are ace. Whippet or crosses being my fave. We currently have a 7 yr old Whippet X, and yes 23hrs sleeping 1 hr mental. She's brilliant. Poor Misie yesterday went from zero to 28mph in 18 ft across the front room then back to zero when the window stopped her, a cat walked along the window ledge, no damage just a quick huff then back to sleep 😂

Hi, love the videos. Was just wondering if either of your dogs can be left alone at all? We have just got a puppy whippet, she is a lovely dog but will not settle on her own even for 5 minutes. Shes also not keen on car journeys yet and screams as if she’s really not happy!

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Hi Jack it takes time crate training is critical for leaving them alone and small trips in the car to a happy place and just one step at a time and it will become the norm 👍 we have no problem at all with our two at home of in the car and van they are very happy 👍 hope that helps

@@onemanandhiswhippet thanks very much. We are crate training and she has just started wanting to go in her crate to play with her toys which seems a good sign. Will try short journeys to somewhere she’d like - difficult at 9 weeks old as she can’t go for a nice walk just yet unless she’s in my coat.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

[@katechiconi]

I have a retired greyhound, and the same is true of him. Half an hour walk, and he'll spend the next 5 or 6 hours asleep. 15 minutes of mad zooming around the back yard after his dinner, and that's it for the evening. We have a small 16ft caravan, and he goes everywhere with us, has his own bunk and we have a collapsible dog pen for outside so he doesn't need to be tied up. The whole sighthound family is very rewarding, make great pets, don't smell, shed much, rarely bark (with a few notable exceptions), and don't need huge amounts of exercise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to people who live in flats, either, even the larger greyhounds. Our boy is large, at 36kg, but so long as he has a bed to accommodate his long bony legs, he's happy.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

He sounds great 🙏 and yep totally agree 🙏😁thanks for watching 🙏👍😍

[@sighthound5449]

When I was choosing a breed I saw lots of...’whippets should be kept on a lead at all times as they will run away/after any wildlife or livestock’. Hmmm. I should have taught my whippets to read because they didn’t know that was a thing 🤓. Molly even walked up to an injured ‘pidgin ‘ one day. She sniffed and looked up at me with that... ‘Mum ...help the pidgin’ look on her face. Took me ages to find a willing bird sanctuary to take it in. 😶

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Oh that’s lovely 🙏👍😍

[@martinjacks5631]

I get the same question a lot. I always run through my whippet's daily routine : 6am up. 6.05 breakfast. 6.07 toilet outside. 6.10 back to bed. 10.30 morning constitutional. 12.0 lunch. 12.03 bed. 2.30 walk and run. .....you get the picture! One very fit and placid whippet. He is an absolute treasure.

My grandson is a Whippet, Fettuccini is his name, Fetta for short. He is beautiful! I've always had Greyhounds and people say the same thing, that they need too much exercise but it really is a myth!

How come they never wag their tails? Is that common for all whippets?

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

No they do 👍😍

[@deborahd2936]

Also, I have my poodle off leash a lot and have trained her to stop mid chase and return when called, would that would for a whippet? I also don’t have a fence, but again, I have trained my poodle to stay in the yard and I am careful for passerby that she may get to excited to meet. Also my husband will jog a couple miles with the poodle occasionally, is that too much to jog like that? I have so many questions! Thanks.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

You can train a whippet to do all that but a Whippet is a sighthound and they are harder to train recall but again it depends on the puppy some are easier than others Both my whippets are very good on recall Also your dog will help teach the new puppy to understand the norms too 🙏👍😍

I have a sweet standard poodle who could use a friend eventually, and I see the whippet breed as a great option now that I know about them. I have trained my poodle and plan to put in some time to train especially the first year. Would it work out to have a puppy whippet introduced to a ln energetic standard poodle? She’s sweet, a little in your face, but I think she would calm down. I have see elsewhere that whippets don’t do well with multi dog households, but it seems like that may be less true depending on training and temperament. How do those things affect the result? Thanks!

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Hi Deborah well that’s not easy to say a lot depends on the individual dogs Like people each dog is unique The best think to do it test your dog with whippet and see how they get on and also see how they get on with a puppy in your home too if possible This will really help you understand your dog with another Hope that helps 🙏👍😍

Not sure why you decided on a Doberman at first? Whippets have a completely different personality maybe a German Pinscher would be more to your liking they're a lot smaller than a Doberman have the same look. If you need a dog to be a bit of a guard dog a Whippet is not going to be that for you.

He gets a decent amount of exercise daily, mostly during the day and once we are up and move around the house, he actually goes back to his bed and chills/no whining. It seems he just wants us to get up... do you have any tips for us? How can we stop this behaviour?

Lol 😂 oh no that’s not good the key is to be in control if you respect to him whining he will very soon know how to get you to respond The things to do are make sure he is covered in the crate, don’t let him out until it’s the right time for you, and when he whining Point at him look into he’s eyes and stay NO ! Keep to this and in a few days you will see he will change and understand the routine in a morning 👍 hope that helps 👍🙏😍

@@onemanandhiswhippet thanks a mil for the response! That does help a lot!! Randolph (that's his name) doesn't sleep in a crate - but now that you mention the cover... maybe he does need another layer? He just started whining next to me in his bed and once I put a blanket on him, he chilled... our other dog is a pug who is neeever cold (always roasting in his thick coat) so a dog getting cold is kind of a new experience for us that we need to look out for. in any case thanks for the fast response we really hope we can change this behaviour fast otherwise we will go up the walls haha

@@akbender 👍 check this video out it may help too 👍

Little Louie zoomies, that will put a smile on your face.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

He loves his mad runs on the beach 😍🙏👍

Where did people get the idea whippets need much excercise? They're such lazy dogs. Our whippet prefers to snuggle on the couch for most of the day. And so funny to see your whippet do the pirouette thing, ours does that too when she's excited :)

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Lol 😂 that’s so true 🙏👍😍

[@MrMarc1510]

I have a greyhound whippet mix and he is a monkey but we love him ❤️ (He thinks he’s a goat help-)

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Really our two are great 👍 is he getting a good run and long walks too? What food his he having? They are usually the two key areas to look at 😁🙏👍

[@deepthought3316]

We have a blue Whippet 7 years old and for a dog that's bred for speed she is the laziest dog we've ever had....

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

lol 😂 yep 👍 just like our two 🙏😍👍

I've got a whippet and a Norwegian Elkhound. They are SO different in every way! I've just subscribed to your channel. I'd love you to have a look at mine!

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Many thanks 🙏

These dogs don't have a lot of body fat which means they burn themselves out really quickly a 10 minute dash does for them. Because of the lack of body fat they feel the cold so coats are necessary in winter. Please emphasise to your vet that they they don't metabolise (lack of body fat) anesthetic well so an experienced vet is essential for neutering. My whippet comes camping in the tent with me and is a quiet calm companion. Best retirement dog ever ❤️

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Great advice 😍👍🙏

How many people ask "is it fast?" or "can it run?" ......Also I got a new rescue puppy :)

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Yep 👍 and oh wow good for you 🙏😍💕

[@mrbongo8540]

You said “If you let them sleep in your bed”, we have no choice. We can bed Penny down in her bed but she sneaks in with us, waking us up being too hot!

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Lol 😂 good on you Penny 😍

[@ipodgrime]

The main difference between my Whippet and the ones here is that my can't be off his lead...he was a rescue and his recall is awful. He has gotten better in enclosed fields, but we simply cant afford to pay 10 pound an hour each day to let him run

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Louie had 4 home before Compton us you will get there it just take lots of time 🙏👍😍

[@ipodgrime]

@@onemanandhiswhippet are both of yours fixed? Ours is on the larger end of a whippet (half inch from being classed as a lurcher) and isn't fixed. I think that may be a big difference

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Possibly and like people even dog is different too 🙏👍😍

[@KeefsCattys]

If anyone thinks of getting a dog because ' it doesn't a lot of exercise ' They are deluded and will suppress the dogs happiness and fulfilment in life . My whippet is 10 and I walk him maybe 3 hrs per day. Plus car trips out to shops. Sure they love their duvets and warm cuddles by the fire but we need to either accept that our dogs deserve an active life , or take the decision to Not get a dog.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

🙏😍😍😍

[@gabeee4332]

Exactly! I've had 3 Whippets and honestly I don't recommend them to everyone sure they're pretty to look at but they are in the sight hound group and need to be watched at all times as at any given moment they may chase something. I do take my dog to the beach and she's good off the leash but never do I think she's not going to chase something. They can be stubborn so obedience training will take a lot more dedicated time than say a dog in the working breed group this is why you don't see them much in obedience competitions there are several other breeds that are difficult too this is why nobody should ever get a breed just because they're cute or pretty everyone should be prepared to know the breed first. When they say a breed needs an experienced dog owner they should know what the means...not for everyone. Like I say I love my Whippet but I do know they have certain needs and restrictions.

My girls are permanently horizontal. lol 😊
