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.

Can I get a free Whippet to a good home in Scotland, 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 Scotland today, Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home publishes its fee: it asks £250 for a dog aged 6 months to 9 years. Every one of those is under £500.
