Best Dog Breed for Children
Are Whippets a good dog breed for kids?
The sweet personality of whippets makes them one of the best dog breed for children.My kids appreciate the quiet and unobtrusive presence of the dogs. In exchange the whippets gladly lend themselves to children games. During a long summer afternoon an unnatural silence descended on our house. When I went to check the cause of such a suspicious calm, I found my kids happily playing with my collection of dog collars and the whippets, their necks draped with a multitude of decorations, modeling the afternoon away.

Whippets generally don’t enjoy repetitive games, they’ll retrieve your frisbee a few times and than will look for some other form of entrainment. If the game gets too rough they would rather withdrawal than react brusquely or snap at rough handling.On another hand whippets adore quiet games, the attention of children and the gentle touch of little fingers no matter how clumsy as long as they are loving. The whippets' gentleness makes them one of the best breeds for kids once they are old enough to be considerate about the dogs needs.
