Greetings from Oscar
Whippet, 1 Year old
My favourite thing about Oscar is...
Oscar is wonderfully loving and is happiest cuddling in bed with either our other dogs or us.
The biggest challenge with Oscar is...
Control of his speed and agility at home. Oscar is active and can become overpowering for our other dogs and can easily damage his rather thin skin and this must be managed. His liking for all food is good but he will stick his nose on anyone’s plate he can get near.
The most surprising thing about owning a Whippet is...
They are extremely fast and their skin is thin and is easily damaged.
What I wish I’d known about Whippets is...
Whippets make the most wonderful pets they are loving and love human contact and with the right exercise make very uncomplicated and peaceful dogs.
Did you know?
While similar to the Greyhound (the fastest dog on earth), the Whippet, being lighter built, has got better acceleration, and over very short distances will be able to beat them.
