The Modern Whippet Handbook
Behaviour, training and everyday life, from choosing a puppy to the senior years
Most breed books tell you a Whippet is gentle, quiet and happy on the sofa. Then you bring one home and meet the real thing.
I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I wrote this the way I'd talk to you if we were stood in a field together.
