Umm...no...actually wtf is a whippet?

All I know is that we like our sheep dogs along with our half dog/half wolf hybrids. (my parents each had one as children in Poland, my cousins also had them)

Is that actually pretty popular in Poland? Half wolf half dog?

A whippet is a smaller version of a greyhound. I believe they were bred for rabbit hunting.

There is a well know breeder of basenji in your part of the world plk123. They look vaguely whippetesque but are an African dog with Asian roots. Could be one of those next door

What a strange thread. There are plenty in the UK and they are fast buggers.

isn't there something called a "hart polska?" I'm spelling that phonetically so forgive the spelling, but I went to a dog show recently and there were a few of those in the indigenous to Poland category.

when you are talking about a dog, its CHART (eng. Sighthound)

hart in Polish is character or temper

That's right. It's spelled "Chart Polski". The whippet is smaller than the Polish Chart.
