Whippet Personality

    Wishing to bring a pet dog into your home? Some dog breeds are easier to own than others, specifically for amateur dog parents.

    To find the easiest canine breeds to own, we looked at a variety of important characteristics. And you might be shocked by the characteristics that matter most. You might think you want a smart pet dog. But very smart dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to follow instructions than his potential to comprehend them.

    You might think an active dog will be the simplest to keep healthy. But a dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to handle. Plus, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you right-minded.

    Ready to find the ideal dog? Look at 5 of the easiest dog breeds to own.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is one of the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life personality and a merry nature that make him a warm and pleasant companion.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "joyful," "plucky," and "tender." This dog has a moderate energy level but a more laid-back character than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow dog, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can successfully train your bulldog - especially if you use lots of praise and rewards and keep a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be faithful hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, depending on the owner's personality - as long as they get a satisfying walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very energetic. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll value the breed's absolute patience with children.

Whippet Information

A greyhound in miniature, the whippet is among the sleekest of dogs, with a curvaceous, streamlined silhouette, long legs and a lean physique. It is the ultimate sprinter, unsurpassed by any other breed in its ability to accelerate to top speed and to twist and turn with unequaled agility. The whippet is a lightweight version of the greyhound, with an especially supple top-line and powerful hindquarters enabling it to execute the double-suspension gallop at its most extreme. It is square or slightly longer than tall. The gait is low and free-moving. The expression is keen and alert.

Perhaps the most demonstrative and obedient of the true sighthounds, the whippet makes an ideal pet for people who want a quiet house dog and absolutely devoted companion. The whippet is extremely gentle with children and can make an excellent companion for them. It is calm indoors but loves to run and play outdoors. It is extremely sensitive (both physically and mentally) and cannot take rough treatment or harsh corrections.
