The Whippet is a medium sized sighthound giving the appearance of elegance and fitness, denoting great speed, power and balance without coarseness. They are amiable, friendly, gentle, but capable of great intensity during sporting pursuits.

Are you interested in this breed? The OFA, working with the American Whippet Club, recommends the following basic health screening tests for all breeding stock:
- ACVO Eye Exam
- Cardiac Exam (Basic, Advanced, or Standard Congenital Cardiac Exam)
- Congenital deafness (BAER or GDC)
- Health foundation entry
Optional but recommended:
- Hip dysplasia
- Autoimmune thyroiditis

Dogs meeting these basic health screening requirements are issued Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) numbers. For potential puppy buyers, CHIC certification is a good indicator the breeder responsibly factors good health into their selection criteria.

For more information about the Whippet, please visit the parent club website: https://www.americanwhippetclub.org/

LET’S TALK TOOLS

Red Arrow: Harness that fits around the dog’s body and when connected to a clip leash, creates a pulling reaction from the dog. This pulling reaction triggers the shoulders and chest muscles to be used which then influences the dog to use strength to get where they need to. If you have properly trained your dog to walk right next to you on a harness, you will not experience the pulling. Congratulations, I have yet to see this. 😂

Orange Arrow: Flat collar, usually used to connect a clip leash to and often times sits on the bottom of the neck due to gravity and the dog’s head being higher than the shoulders. This then triggers the dog’s shoulder muscles and the pulling starts. Again, this teaches the dog that strength needs to be used to get where they need to. If you have properly trained your dog to walk next to you on a flat collar, you will not experience the pulling. The majority of dogs I see are pulling during this setup.

Blue Arrow: Slip Leash is very high on the neck where it is placed behind the ears, behind the jaw bone, and it allows us to influence the dog’s head and brain. Shoulders and chest muscles are not triggered and physical strength is not used during the walk. When used correctly, little to no pressure is on the leash and physical strength is used by the dog to get from point A to point B. If you have properly trained your dog to walk next to you on a slip leash, you will not experience any pulling.

Out of the 3 tools shown, the slip leash is one of the most productive tools to create a structured walk, a calm mind, and a solid relationship.

Ever watch anyone walk a horse by the saddle?

Yeah, me either.

That’s because when you walk a 1000lb animal, you need to influence the brain and not the body.

Let’s start influencing our dog’s mentally and not physically.

I would like to officially introduce the Pesto x Brie babies 💙🩷🩷 1 week old today.
Unfortunately Brie had stalled waiting on the last puppy and required an emergency c section, and had to have a blood transfusion. But I’m happy to report that Brie and the puppies are all doing well now. We do have a tiny one but she is a strong fighter.

The puppies had their first trip out and about today to get their BAER testing. Good news is they can all hear, so if they’re ignoring their future owner well they can’t blame us 🤣 we’re thankful to have the UC FETCH lab pretty close and make it a fun and enjoyable experience for the puppies!
