Summary
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.
About Bavarian Mountain Hound
The Bavarian Mountain Hound is a medium, athletic scent hound bred in Bavaria for tracking wounded game. Calm and reserved with strangers but affectionate with family, it has a short red‑to‑fawn coat and excels in scent work. Best for active homes that enjoy regular outdoor and mental activity.
