Aw they are so lovely. Mine is five now. He’s so lovely we all dote on him.
I bought a puppy pen and he took less than two weeks to jump over because of course whippet puppies are kangaroos!
NEVER use an expandable road with a whippet. Their acceleration is is so fast they will have reached escape velocity by the time the get to the end of the lead and you can be pulled over, break arms or get your fingers skinned to the bone. A short leash however will be fine; they are only small so they won’t pull you over from close quarters.
You need a webmaster harness. No other harness will stay on a whippet.
As soon as it’s vaccinated take it to the park and let it off. If you do it while they are still scared and want to come back to you you have a chance at recall. In the US they hardly let whippets off lead as they believe they won’t come back. Mine is fine.
If you have cats when your whippet is a puppy it will be fine. Don’t be afraid to let the cat swipe the puppy and claim Top Cat position.
If you don’t have a cat when whippets is a puppy it will want to chase and depending on the dog may not be safe. Ditto tiny dogs. Mine wouldn’t hurt a fly though.
They are ace. Don’t bark, you can pick them up, they fold up small and don’t moult much. They don’t smell either. What’s not to like?
