The whippet Benjamin

Whippets?

From Whippet History Reference we get a picture of a plate in an 18th century French book of plates of whippets and such.

And yet Whippets were not bred until the mid-19th century in Great Britain. So these are not, cannot be, whippets. They are certainly very whippet-like. It’s titled “Le Whippet”. So now what? Have all my books that tell me that Whippets were bred in the mid-19th century in Great Britain from Greyhounds and Terriers been wrong?

Jason!

I love both my whippets. Just so you know.

Benjamin is my dog. He likes to be tucked in under blankets. Who doesn’t! But you may not like to sleep on a nursery cart. Benjamin does. A nursery cart! He’s crazy. I love my dog.
