r/Whippet

I finally pulled out my old art supplies this weekend to finish up an old design. My little inspiration loves to pose under my art table 😂🥰

Hi all,

Our whippet boy is almost 2 years old. We were doing well with him being alone, but then puberty hit. We had to start from scratch, literally with just 10 seconds outside the door. We finally built it up to a couple of hours. So this night in particular we were away from 18:00-23:00. From 19:00-20:00 he was quite restless and there was some howling (see video haha). After 20:00 he settled and napped on the couch until we were back.

Seeing this behavior on the camera stressed us out a bit but in the end he settled. Should we be worried and work on this more or is he just a bit dramatic from time to time? A few weeks ago we were away for ~5 hours without any issues and we are regularly away for short amounts of time (30min - 2 hours).

Would love to know your experiences!

Who’s interested in a whipper gathering in southern La (WeHo). Id love for my girl to be around other whippers

The boys had a busy dog show day full of fireworks, fast-cat, treats, and ribbons! They are pooped!

My new boy Finn (10 weeks old), I was going to ask for advice on toys for puppy chewing but the new green ring I bought seems like a winner so far, he loves it.

As the title asks, does this little girl need sunscreen on her muzzle? She just joined our family and I’ve never had a whippet (or a dog without full fur coverage). She is about 1 year old; would you say this visible pink skin on the muzzle is normal?

everytime i give her a meal on a kong she eats it like this, throws it in the air and waits for food to fall from it (this one was already empty) i think it’s quite funny her little method to eat faster from it 🤣

This is Brontë
She’s 8 months old and spends hours under the sofas.

She watches everyone from under there, not really asleep but just chilling and seems quite content. I don’t know if it’s odd or not. I’ve had two whippets before, they never did this. I thought she’d grow out of it but she seems to have made it her place

She does come out to play, and will spend a little time curled up on the sofa with her big sis, but she does love being under the sofa. She’s super confident, it’s doesn’t seem to be an anxiety response- is it just a personal little quirk? Does anyone else have a whippet that likes to lurk under furniture?
