About Caeser the Greyhound Blend | |
|
|
Caeser is a 6 month old Greyhound/Terrier mix. We were asked to rescue as he was being boarded at a local vets office while he was looking for a home. He is a young energenic puppy whom needs plenty of room to run and play!
| Foster Update: Cesar is doing great. He's been with us one week and despite some normal puppy chewing he doesn't really have any issues. He does a little nipping with my other dog but we are working on that. We are also working with him on the chewing and just puppy stuff like walking on a leash, resting at night, etc. He's a GREAT dog with a very good disposition... quiet, gentle, sweet, cuddly, great with my dog, kids, people, crowds, etc. just has a LOT of puppy energy so he needs plenty of exercise! |
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Whippet was developed at the end of the 19th century through crossing among the Greyhound, the Italian Greyhound, and the Terrier. Its name derives from the expression "whip it" meaning to move quickly. The Whippet is an outstanding track racer over short distances reaching speeds of up to 37 miles per hour (60km. per hour) - in seconds! Coursing these dogs was an entertaining form of gambling for the lower classes in England. Some of the Whippet's talents include: hunting, sighting, watchdogging, racing, agility, and lure coursing. The Whippet is intelligent, lively, affectionate, sweet, and docile. This very devoted companion is quiet and calm in the home. This breed should never be roughly trained, for they are extremely sensitive both physically and mentally. Be sure to introduce plenty of variety when training this breed. The best results will be achieved by including games and running but remember, although they are very intelligent and will learn quickly, you will never achieve "perfect" obedience from this breed due to their independent nature. They are good with children of all ages as long as the children do not roughhouse or tease the dog. Whippets are clean, virtually odor free, easy to care for and easy to travel with. They are good watchdogs and may be reserved with strangers. They will pursue and kill cats and other small animals if given the opportunity, but are good with other dogs. Household cats that they are raised with and have become accustom to will be left along. They can be used to hunt. The Whippet's sweet personality makes him a fine companion dog. The Whippet is the ultimate sprinter, unsurpassed by any other breed in its ability to accelerate to top speed and to twist and turn with matchless dexterity. Some can be difficult to housebreak while others housebreak quickly. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
