Whippet

Snap Dog · Medium breed · from England

Whippets are gentle, quiet couch companions that transform into rockets when they run. They love a good sprint but are happy to lounge for hours, making them surprisingly good apartment dogs. Sensitive and affectionate, they dislike being left alone and feel the cold easily.
