I had a 24"tts whippet a few years back and he could do the lot. Very able well mannered dog but like any other, their only as good as the time/effort you put into training them. Highly reccomend a bigger one though but thats just my opinion

Love whippets, always especially the smaller ones, can't understand though why there are an increasing number of larger ones around.....23-24 inch mark.....I would be going for a lurcher if I wanted something that size...and I swear down sooty Sam lines have had an inncy weeny teeny bit of bull blood added to them somewhere in the not too distant past....nothing wrong with that, but hasn't anybody else thought it when they look at them.

most whippet lines will have bull blood in it from way back in the rabbit coursing day it shows up in some line to this day more so in some lines than in others

Yep, go back far enough and plenty of 'purebred' dogs of all descriptions will have bull blood in em
