I've just been discussing this with someone as we realised we meant different things when we said 'sporting' whippet. Working whippets, racing whippets, show whippets, even agility whippets ... says exactly what it does on the tin. But what do other people generally mean when they describe a dog as a sporting whippet?

The term "sporting" was used to describe all the activities that whippets participated in when we formed The Sporting Whippet Club NI. It was seen as a way to promote the breed in all it's guises, primarily a working dog but with the ability to adapt to other pursuits such as showing and racing.
