text: We've put together this introductory page of information on the Whippet dog breed for anyone considering these beautiful dogs as an addition to their family.
  They are generally good with other dogs though they need to be socialized with them from an early age. We didn't properly manage this when Misty was a puppy and so I'd say she's not that sociable with others.
  Whippets don't shed their fur and create the same cleaning headaches as with some other breeds. Their fur is short and rarely makes a noticeable mess in the home.
  We've found Pet Protect (UK) to provide us with cover we're happy with and had no problems with any of our claims.
  Whippets make amazing family pets. They're gentle and loving and absolutely love the people they live with.
  As for other dogs, in our experience Whippets can be a bit jealous but generally they do socialize well.
