The Whippet rabbit hound originated in the Victorian era from terriers crossed with small greyhounds, developed over years into today’s breed. It is gentle and cheerful, very loyal, and long-lived, making a good companion dog. It is alert but not aggressive, so it can guard the home without biting guests.
Note that Whippets need daily outdoor exercise; otherwise they may treat the house as a playground and start destroying things.
