Introduction

These dogs are very elegant in appearance. They have a moderately long head with a fairly wide back skull, very large, dark eyes and a black nose. Unlike their short haired relatives, they do well in cooler climates because of their long coat. These dogs are friendly, intelligent, lively and affectionate. They are quite athletic and playful and make good pets. They can be hyper without enough exercise. Longhaired Whippets are not recognized by the AKC but are recognized by the CKC. Grooming needs are minimal. These dogs weigh 15 to 28 lbs. and stand 18-22" at the shoulders.
