    Should I get a puppy or an adult whippet?

    Well, you have done your research and decided that a Whippet is the breed for you.  Question now is, do you want a puppy or an adult dog?

    I would say it depends on your lifestyle and your experience with dogs.  Remember, adding a puppy into your home is much like having a new baby in the house.  You have to house train it and deal with the accidents, puppy will chew things up and get into everything, and won't sleep through the night most of the time.  How much time can you devote to training?  Do you work full time?  Do you have children?  How much time will puppy be alone?

    If you decide on an adult dog, you may or may not have to deal with house training and the other issues that surround a puppy.  However, again, it depends on your lifestyle and background of the dog.  A whippet rescue organization will do their best to match up the right dog for you.  They generally know the dog's background and situation.

    Another avenue to consider is getting an adult dog from a reputable breeder.  DO NOT get a dog or puppy from a pet store!  They are selling you a puppy mill product.  Often times a breeder will have a retired show dog they are trying to find a home for.  That's how I got my whippet.  He is house trained, leash trained, recall trained and all around perfect.  But for my lifestyle.

    Before you get that dog or puppy, ask people who know and who have been exactly where you are right now.  Visit the WhippetTalk Forums, where you find lots of great information, photos and meet some really nice and knowledgeable people.  Feel free to ask questions.  Nothing is ever considered a stupid or silly question. We all had to start somewhere.
