Whippets 2026

Nicknamed the 'poor man's Greyhound,' the elegant yet powerful Whippet was probably created some time in the late 18th century for use by poachers in search of rabbits and other small game. Its name derives from the expression 'whip it,' meaning “to move quickly.” The Whippet is an outstanding track racer over short distances, reaching speeds of up to 37 miles per hour (60 km per hour), reaching those speeds in seconds!
