Whiphound

Whiphound

The Whiphound is a tall, elegant, affectionate hybrid with the sleek athleticism of the Whippet and the noble, long-limbed presence of the Irish Wolfhound. Typically gentle and people-oriented, this dog is usually excellent with children and other dogs, with a playful streak that comes out in short bursts rather than nonstop intensity. It tends to be calm indoors, moderately active outdoors, and happiest when included in family life rather than left alone for long periods.
