I've had 3 Whippets they are an excellent pet and companion dog I'd like to say they're the best kept secret of all breeds ❤ so glad they're not over bred and have remained the same for a very long time and we have a lot of excellent breeders who strive on health and soundness in the breed.
Having had whippets for 50 years, this video commentary is an accurate representation about the characteristics of whippets. There are many RU-vid videos that contain some false information about the breed.
As someone with whippet experience and currently have one with severe SA... I personally believe the males are more prone to it. If you have a puppy who's showing signs of SA... Try all the suggestions that you'll find on the internet. If you have no success in a year or more, look into prozac or another SSRI drug. The reason being... The level of anxiety that creates SA can also eventually create other issues. My SA dog eventually came down with a severe sound phobia, where he shook and panted off and on all day with every noise he heard. It took over a year to get him remotely back to normal. But when using an SSRI drug like Prozac, just keep in mind... They may get worse before they get better. It can take 2-3 months to go through the loading period, before you can see positive results. During that time, it is crucial that they receive the drug in a perfectly uniform amount. Going up or down will prevent the loading period from finishing and it won't work. Different generic brands can also change the effect. Stick with the same brand and amount. Diet can also have an effect. Keep fiber level at the same amount and don't use probiotics. When carefully administered, a drug like prozac can be a life saver. But be prepared to see them looking pretty bad during that loading period. Paranoia and appetite loss can be severe.
They are wonderful companion dogs but you're right they are not people pleasers meaning they are a bit hard to obedience train not like some other breeds sight hounds can be a bit stubborn when it comes to learning multiple commands. They have a more independent personality but I've had 3 and each one was a fabulous dog if you have the time they are trainable in obedience and agility but it does take a lot of time and patience.
I am in my third one. She just turned one year old. I would tell others if they get loose hop in your car. Your not going to chase on foot. She ia also starting to notice squirrels. So good times ahead.
