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 German Pinscher
Medium, athletic German farm dog with sleek low‑maintenance coat in black‑and‑tan or red. Intelligent, alert, loyal and protective yet reserved with strangers. Needs plenty of exercise, mental work, firm positive training and close family involvement; generally robust and long‑lived.
