Oh man, I'm scared to answer this....but the Whippet is my least favorite dog. I just think there is nothing cute about them.

  No offense taken!  In defense though, I will say my 2 have very much surprised many people who had pre-conceived ideas of the breed.  Their favorite activities are retrieving, swimming, and just plain romping around raising holy heck!  I always laugh when someone says something along the lines of "Wow, they really are regular dogs!".  My brother who is about 6'4" and 250+ lbs is now seriously considering getting a standard poodle & he was one of those who said, "What do you mean you're getting a poodle!  They are such foo-foo, prissy prima donnas!".

That is what is so great about the canine world - there is a vast enough variety that there is the "right" breed(s) for everyone who loves furry, 4 legged companions with a cold nose and large heart!
