The versatile Whippet

While renowned for their graceful silhouettes in the conformation ring, Whippets are extraordinary athletes capable of thriving across diverse canine sports. At Paragon Whippets, we celebrate the complete dog—where elegance meets unmatched athleticism, keen drive, and deep companionship.

Speed and instincts: lure coursing and Fast CAT

Whippets were born to run. In performance events like lure coursing and Fast CAT, their natural sighthound instincts take center stage. Chasing an artificial lure across open fields or sprinting a 100-yard dash, these athletes clock breathtaking speeds while demonstrating impeccable focus, drive, and raw athletic joy.

Precision and teamwork: agility and rally

Beyond sheer velocity, Whippets possess remarkable body awareness and keen intelligence. In agility rings and rally trials, handler and hound work as a synchronized team. Navigating weave poles, sharp turns, hurdles, and precise obedience stations proves just how adaptable, biddable, and mentally sharp this breed truly is.

Drive and curiosity: disc dog and barn hunt

Whether leaping high into the air to snag a flying disc or working their scent detection skills among straw bales in barn hunt, Whippets constantly surprise with their enthusiasm. Their versatility shines in every environment, transitioning effortlessly from intense sporting contenders to affectionate companions curled up on the sofa at home.
