About
An online community for whippet owners — started by a new whippet family in January 2026.
We got our first dog — a whippet — in January. We love her energy and fun personality, and we also wanted to create a space to meet more whippet enthusiasts and find events.
Whippet Wire is an online community for whippet owners — a place to connect with people who understand the breed, share photos and daily life, and find meetups and resources. Hope you enjoy it, and we look forward to meeting many of you.
Most breed conversation happens on big social platforms, where posts get buried in feeds and algorithms. We built this as a dedicated home for the community: a calm, simple site with no ads and no engagement tricks.
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 — Light games and extras for 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.
