The Whippet is a medium-size dog breed. Whippets like a fenced yard to run in, but they do nicely in cozy apartments too. Whippets love running games and require short bursts of vigorous exercise each day. They are mildly stubborn, but also very sensitive. These are the sprinters of the dog world, capable of great speed over short distances and with a passion for chasing moving objects.
