Longhaired Whippet Dogs

Longhaired Whippet Breed Description

The Longhaired Whippet is a medium-sized, athletic sighthound, similar in build to the Whippet but with a long silky coat. The breed standard indicates that the Longhaired Whippet should conform to the general appearance outlined by the Whippet breed standard except, of course, for the longer coat. However, the coat should not prevent the dog from being able to fulfill its function in the field as a hunting dog.[1] They come in a variety of colors including: solid colors like red and black, parti-colors such as red and white, and various shades brindle. They also appear in colors not found in the Whippet such as black or blue grizzle. They range in height from 18-22 inches at the shoulder and usually weigh between 20 and 30 lbs.
