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 Pumi
The Pumi is a medium‑small Hungarian herding dog with a curly, low‑shedding coat, pricked ears, and an alert expression. Intelligent, energetic, and vocal, it excels in dog sports, needs regular mental and physical work, bonds closely with its family, and remains relatively rare.
