Here are some fascinating facts about the dog breed 'Whippet' (also known as a poor man's racehorse):
-Whippets can reach speeds up to 35mph(56km/h)! 🐎💨💨
They were originally used for hunting, they now compete in Lure Coursing by chasing a plastic lure around a field while being timed.
- Whippets are extremely playful and affectionate! ❤️💙❤️
Their natural attachment to people makes them happiest when kept as house pets. Whippets are the type of breed that will lick strangers in the park because of their love for affection.
- Whippets aren't "barking" dogs but watchdogs! 👀
Their watchdog instinct stems from their hunting instinct, so you can say it’s in their blood.
