The club hosts various events and shows throughout the year, allowing Whippet owners to showcase their beloved pets and connect with fellow enthusiasts. These events provide a platform for breeders and owners to stay up-to-date with the Australian Breed Standard and share their passion for these versatile and athletic dogs.

In addition to events and shows, the club offers activities such as lure coursing, a popular sport for Whippets that taps into their instinct to chase rapidly moving objects. This gives Whippet owners an opportunity to engage their pets in a stimulating and enjoyable activity.

The Whippet Club of NSW Inc also publishes a newsletter to keep members informed about upcoming events, news, and important information related to the breed. Membership is open to all Whippet owners and enthusiasts, offering a sense of community and access to valuable resources.

Whippets are often misunderstood as skinny, nervous, and fragile dogs. However, the club seeks to dispel these misconceptions by highlighting the breed's true qualities. Whippets are described as versatile, athletic, muscular, robust, playful, confident, and responsive dogs. They are sweet-natured, easy to house train, and make excellent family pets.

Despite their preference for lounging around, Whippets are still sighthounds and have a natural instinct to chase rapid moving objects. However, with proper training and care, they can happily coexist indoors with their human families.

The Whippet Club of NSW Inc invites all dog lovers to delve into the world of Whippets and discover the joys of owning these remarkable dogs. With their unique qualities and the support of a dedicated community, Whippets have become the preferred choice of dog for many owners in the area.
