About
Made for the people behind the pointy snoots
Whippet Wire is an independent online home for whippet owners — a place to connect with people who get the breed, document daily life with your dog, and support each other through everything from puppy chaos to gray-muzzle years.
Most whippet conversation today lives inside big social platforms, at the mercy of feeds and algorithms. We think a breed this beloved deserves its own address: a calm, fast, friendly site where the good stuff doesn't scroll away — and where the community, not a platform, decides what it becomes.
What you'll find here
- Forums — honest advice on health, training, gear, rehoming, and more.
- Photo diary — one photo per day — a whole year of your whippet at a glance.
- Events — meetups, walks, and races, organized by region.
- Directory — trusted breeders, shops, trainers, and makers.
- Playpen — games and small delights, because whippet people are fun people.

From the founder
I'm a whippet owner like you — ours joined the family in early 2026 and promptly rearranged our furniture, our schedules, and our hearts. Whippet Wire started as a simple question: what would a community space look like if it were built purely for whippet people, with no ads and no engagement tricks?
This site is my answer, and it's growing in the open. If something feels off, is missing, or could work better, tell me — post in the forums and I'll read it. The best ideas here will come from the community.
How it stays running
The core site is free for every owner, always. Optional memberships — a supporter tier for owners and a commerce tier for whippet-related businesses — cover hosting and fund new features. No ads, no selling your data. Ever.
Breed resources
Whippet Wire is a community space, not a breed authority. For official standards, health information, and club activities, start here:
- AKC — Whippet — Official breed standard, care, and history.
- American Whippet Club — The AKC parent club for the breed in the US.
- The Whippet Club (UK) — The oldest whippet breed club, founded 1899.
