Skinny Dog Adventures

Elwood Blu and Indigo Jake Jones

Whippets are exceptional dogs with a long and rich history. The breed can be distinguished from other breeds through its characteristic slim body type, and other physical attributes. The word "Whippet" comes from an ancient word meaning "to move briskly," which describes the breed's speed and athleticism well. Whippets are among the fastest dog breeds in the world, reaching speeds of up to 35 mph. They are part of the sighthound group and have exceptional visual acuity. It is important to note, however, that whippets are not small greyhounds. While whippets and greyhounds have a lot of similarities, they do have distinct differences.

Taking a walk with my whippets

Taking a walk with my whippets, somewhere in the suburbs of Dallas Texas.

Trying out an dog action cam setup on my whippet. Indy was a good sport and this pov whippet dog cam didn't bother him a bit. I rigged this up custom from an old harness as the usual dog action cam harnesses don't fit the deep chest of a whippet. We headed out to the Island, hit a park and took a stroll around downtown testing the setup.
