Summary
About Hamilton Hound
The Hamilton Hound is a Swedish tricolour scent hound, medium‑large, athletic and robust. Calm, friendly and affectionate at home, it has strong hunting drive, a loud voice and needs substantial daily exercise, training and mental stimulation. Coat care is simple.
About Whippet
Medium sighthound combining racing speed with calm companionship. Sleek, lean and Greyhound‑like, with a short, easy‑care coat but little weather protection. Sensitive, gentle and people‑oriented, it needs kind training, safe chances to sprint, soft warm bedding and a stable, quiet home.
