Thanks to Google and Microsoft's efforts with many libraries there were many books scanned and made available via the Internet. Although the project has ended due to copyright concerns. But during this process there have been many dog books from the late 19th century and early 20th century. There were many that contained references to whippets. I'm attempting to gather some of those references and I invite you to share references that you've found.

That is crazy how they launch the poor whippets by grabbing their neck & tail. The whippets don't seem to mind much though. Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteAlthough from articles and books I've read from that period that some racing whippets weighed up to 50 pounds, most of them were in the 16 to 18 pound range. Terrier people often use the base of the tail as a handle in hunting.
