How do you judge whether a Whippet is pure or not? An adult Whippet dog should be 48.26-55.88cm tall, with a shoulder height of 45.72-53.34cm, and the error cannot exceed 1.5 inches; the Whippet appearance is elegant and well-proportioned, muscular, strong and powerful, and Streamlined body shape; Whippet has a long and sloping head, a long neck, no fat on the throat, and a long tail with a thin tip.

The ideal adult Whippet height at the withers should be between 48.26-55.88cm; the ideal dog height at the withers should be between 45.72-53.34cm. A deviation of more than 1.5 inches will be disqualified. The distance from chest to croup is equal to or slightly greater than the height at the withers, with medium bone mass.

The Whippet is a medium-sized sighthound with an elegant and well-proportioned appearance, showing speed, strength and balance without being rough. A truly athletic hunting dog that can cover the greatest distance with the least amount of movement. The impression given is that it is beautiful and harmonious, muscular, strong and powerful, its appearance is extremely elegant, graceful, and its streamlined body is required for speed. Well-proportioned outlines, well-developed muscles and powerful strides are important considerations; all his construction is for speed and work, and any exaggeration must be removed.

The Whippet's head is long and sloping, the space between the ears is quite wide, the stop is almost invisible, and the teeth are white and strong. An overshot bite is a disqualification. An overshot bite is also a disqualification if the upper jaw protrudes 1/4 inch or more. The neck is long, clean, muscular, well-arched, with no fat at the throat, gradually broadening to merge into the upper part of the shoulder blades. A short, thick neck or sheep's neck is to be faulted. The back is broad, strong and muscular, extending beyond the waist. The topline begins from the withers in a smooth, graceful and natural arch, passing over the waist to the buttocks; the arch is continuous without break. Slumping behind the shoulders, a sunken back, a flat back, and steep or flat croup are all faults. The tail is long and tapered at the tip, extending to the hocks as it hangs between the hind legs. When he is in motion, the tail is carried low and slightly curved upward; the tail should not be carried high over the back.

The Whippet's coat is short, close, smooth, and hard in texture. Any other coat is a disqualification. Old scars from work or accidents should not be discriminated against in competition. Color doesn't matter.

The Whippet's gait is low, extended, and smooth, with full reach in the forequarters and strong drive in the hindquarters. Viewed from the side, his movements are very relaxed; his forelegs are close to the ground when extended forward, producing a long, low stride; and his hindquarters produce powerful propulsion. When he is away or viewed from behind, the legs neither turn in nor turn out, and the feet neither cross nor interfere with each other.
