Meet Misty
Whippet, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Misty is...
She always lies on her back when you come in a room for tummy tickles.
The biggest challenge with Misty is...
Getting her to stop barking at cats in the street.
The most surprising thing about owning a Whippet is...
They can see for miles and want to chase anything.
What I wish I’d known about Whippets is...
They suffer separation anxiety and have little recall when they chase something.
Did you know?
While similar to the Greyhound (the fastest dog on earth), the Whippet, being lighter built, has got better acceleration, and over very short distances will be able to beat them.
