Beneath it's protective, yet decorative coat, the longhaired whippet is identical to the smooth whippet, except that its skin has greater substance and suppleness to support the longer hair. This small, very athletic and graceful sighthound expresses its competitive spirit in its alert demeanor, and can race, course and hunt in a wide variety of terrain and weather because of its size and coat. Never aggressive with its own kind, it also should display a love for and devotion to its human associates. An aloof, undemonstrative temperament is not typical.
