Whippet dogs in Poland?

Are whippets a popular dog in Poland? Just curious, don't see too many here in Wisconsin.

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.

yes, whippes is a fox, wabbit dog.. very fast but compact. they are terriers however.

As an honorery Yorkshireman,may I remind one n all that ,eeh bah gum,tha needs a flat cap ifn thee's going to get a whippet,its t'law tha knows....

Da Boyz givin it large in Sopot



Any serious Whippet owner will know of the breed's presense in Poland

erm, No.

u b right. this is not the dog i was thinking of.

No problem. I shouldn't have jumped at you either. Sorry.

it's ok W. now it makes me wonder what kind of dog my neighbour has.. i thought it was a whippet but it definitely is not. i looked up some pictures of these whippets. hmmm. i'll have to ask him.

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

hmm.. definitely not a curled tail.. body is similar though but not the head. now it's buggin me to know what the heck that dog is.. anywho, it is not a whippet. :)

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.

that is a correct spelling

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.
