The Whippet is a breed of small dog that was bred to hunt hares and other small animals. These dogs have a slender build, a long neck and a tail that can be up to 1 meter long. Whipet's ears are large and drooping, which helps it to hear the sounds of prey from a distance.
Whipet has a very fast run and can reach speeds of up to 50 km/h. These dogs are very energetic and require a lot of exercise and play. They are also very intelligent and are easy to learn commands.
Despite their energy, Whippets are very friendly and affectionate. They love to interact with people and play with children. However, they can be a little noisy and active, so they are not suitable for people who do not like noise and activity.
In general, the Whippet is an excellent breed for those who are looking for a true friend and companion. They require a lot of attention and care, but in return they give a lot of love and devotion.
