Are whippets destructive?
Most bored dogs can be destructive, and whippets are no exception. Adult whippets are no more destructive than any other breed. Whippet puppies are pretty mischievous and energetic, and because they are extremely agile, they can manage to get in a lot of trouble! A puppy should always be crated when you’re not supervising. He needs toys and lots of things to chew and play with to keep him occupied. Keep in mind that the whippet is more athletic than other breeds…it’s not hard for him to climb or jump out of pens or over puppy gates, even as a pup. So while he may be no more destructive than any other young, unsupervised dog, he is able to reach more trouble than other breeds! Whippets seem to “mellow out” around two years of age and the older onesfive years and upare exceptionally easy to live with!
