The Whippet is a dog that exudes muscular power and wonderfully balanced strength and which presents great elegance and graceful lines. The head is long, dry, flat at the top, rather broad between the eyes; it narrows towards the muzzle. The eyes are bright, with a very lively expression. The ears are small, of fine texture, in the shape of a rose. The thorax is deep, the belly tucked in. The limbs are long, dry and muscular. The tail is long, tapered, worn slightly curved when in motion.
