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 Sealyham Terrier
Compact Welsh terrier bred for hunting but affectionate and calm at home. Sturdy, low body with a distinctive white double coat, beard and eyebrows needing regular grooming. Intelligent, independent and moderate in exercise needs, it suits engaged families; the breed is now relatively rare.
