I Have to agree, although I don’t remember seeing whippets before, unless I mistook it for a greyhound, the whippet had more personality and the most beautiful markings of any other dog (except the one that was completely white with it’s ink dipped black head).

At first, when you look at a whippet, you see a skinny dog with too long of a face and too small of ears and funny looking eyes but when he took the stage all you see is his grace and strength gliding around the arena and an almost smile and bounce that transformed him into one of the most beautiful dogs I have watched perform.

Ok, I’m partial to whippets - had one for 11 yrs. Wonderful personalities. They come in two speeds: super-fast and sleep-on-lap. Great with kids too. But when they spot a squirrel, they are All Hunt - almost like a trance, their entire focus is on the prey. It’s really amazing to watch them run!

My nephew shows whippets and we used to have an Italian Greyhound (very small version of a greyhound). Not for everyone, but actually, nice quite dogs and of course minimal hair.
