		The elegance and ease of grooming of the Whippet have made it a popular show dog, but to be successful at this sport, you must purchase a puppy who is considered by its breeder to be show quality.

		In fact, whippets are part greyhound: the breed was developed during the 19th century by British laborers, who crossed greyhounds with terriers to produce a dog that was inexpensive to keep but still able to catch rabbits for dinner.
		Whippets tend to be sensitive, so your dog will thrive in a calm, stress-free environment.
		Sofas and beds are far more forgiving on a bony frame than the floor, so your whippet will always want to sit on the furniture with you, and, since whippets shed little and are virtually odor-free, you probably won't mind a bit (just think of him as your own snuggly hot water bottle!).
