Breed All About It - Whippet

Once known as the poor man's racing dog, whippets today complete lure coursing field championships with grace and speed. The breed has also made their mark on disc-dog competitions, an agility sport that was actually founded by a dog named Ashley Whippet.

I have a whippet and she is awesome! The tail between the leg is not because they are afraid or nervous, it's just the way that they are built.

they got their name because their tales are like whips, when they are exicted stay away from their tail :P.

Hello Whippet lovers! Come look at my Channel! I have posted my first video! It is of my Dachshund and Whippet! It has great music and a wonderful video of their personalities! Take a look!

The correct quote is "poor man's racehorse." Whippet racing preceded greyhound racing.

I love my little friend but my god he doesn't live up to the description of a docile house dog. He is hyperactive furniture destroying MACHINE! I think he might be half whippet half Tasmainian devil.

It was known as "the poor man's race horse" not "the poor man's race dog".
