FAQs

What is the average cost of a Whippet puppy?

The average cost of a purebred Whippet puppy in the United Kingdom is approximately £698, though prices can vary based on factors such as pedigree, breeder reputation, and location.

Are Whippets a good family dog?

Yes, Whippets can be good family dogs as they are gentle, friendly, and good with children. However, they are sensitive and may require gentle handling and regular exercise. Their calm nature indoors makes them a suitable family pet when properly socialized.

What are the disadvantages of a Whippet?

Whippets can be prone to health issues like sensitivity to anesthesia and certain genetic conditions such as heart and eye problems. They also have a high prey drive and may be prone to chasing small animals, which can make off-leash walking challenging. Additionally, their thin coat provides little insulation, so they require extra protection in cold weather.

Are Whippet puppies difficult?

Whippet puppies are generally not difficult, but they do require consistent training and socialization. They are gentle, intelligent, and adaptable, making them relatively easy to train. However, their high energy levels mean they need regular exercise to stay happy.

Is it better to get a male or female Whippet?

Choosing between a male or female Whippet depends on your preferences and lifestyle. Males are often larger and may be more affectionate, while females can be more independent and easier to train. Ultimately, individual temperament matters more than gender.
