Click here to find out if a whippet is the breed for you. Whippets are not the "traditional" pet "Rover" and have unique traits and qualities that not all dog owners will enjoy. They can be destructive, hard to keep off furniture, and do not like to be left alone. They also need moderate excercise, and a fenced-in yard.

Whippet breeders will carefully screen you as a potential owner, please be prepared for lots of questions. Also, prepare a list of your own questions...this shows genuine interest and that you have done some homework. You can start by asking if the breeder is a member of the American Whippet Club.

When you do contact a breeder some background information on you, your family, and housing situation goes a long way in deciding if you are a good home for a whippet.

You may need to get on a waiting list. Whippets are not that common and it can be tough to find a litter that is ready to go when you are! [More]
