About Whippets
The Whippet is a sighthound, a dog that hunts by sight. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "small, speedy sighthound traditionally used for racing", says it originated from the Greyhound, and says Whippet racing became popular in the mining areas of the North and Wales, as well as in London and the Midlands.

Are there Whippet puppies for sale in England?
No. Rescues rehome Whippets for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In England today, Whippets are listed by Greyhound Gap (at Kidsgrove), Ravenswood Pet Rescue (at Wisbech) and Thornberry Animal Sanctuary (at North Anston), and 1 other rescue. Ravenswood Pet Rescue asks a minimum donation of £395 per dog. For Greyhound Gap and Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free Whippet to a good home in England, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing Whippets in England today, the published fees run from £250 at Three Counties Dog Rescue to £395 at Ravenswood Pet Rescue. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
