Summary
About Phalène
The Phalène is a small, elegant toy spaniel with drop ears, a long silky coat, and a white body marked in various colors. Lively yet sensitive and people‑oriented, it is highly trainable, enjoys dog sports, moderate daily exercise, and close companionship.
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.
