The Whippet: An Authoritative Look at the Breed’s Past, Present and Future represents author Bo Bengtson’s life work in the Whippet breed. A breeder of champion Whippets and world-renowned judge, Bengtson is internationally regarded as the foremost authority on the breed. With this book, he provides readers with an enormous wealth of information — in words, statistics and photographs — between these two impressive covers. When it was first published in 1985, The Whippet exceeded every expectation for a breed book, and this newly expanded edition raises that bar even higher. Whether dog-show enthusiasts, performance enthusiasts or loving pet owners, Whippet fans around the world are the richer for Bengtson’s generous offering of The Whippet. Hundreds of photographs illustrate this monumental volume, making it the one breed book every fancier simply cannot be without.

International praise for Bo Bengtson's The Whippet:

Giovanni Liguori, Italy, Whippet breeder and exhibitor: “I just wanted to let you know that a few days ago, I received my copies of your wonderful book. It's fantastic, truly beautiful, and so big and heavy! Wow! It's really the Bible of Whippets, containing everything from their origins to the present day worldwide. I've already started reading it.”

Anita Henderson, New Zealand, Whippet breeder/exhibitor: “My Mum purchased your book for my birthday. I received it yesterday. I just wanted to say, what an extremely, outstanding publication — it really is 'next level.’ Thank you for your creation and for involving us in a small way.”

Iva Kimmelman, USA, long-time Whippet breeder, exhibitor and international judge: “I can't think of a better way to spend a lazy, rainy Wednesday afternoon than reading your new edition. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Alexander Lass, USA, Whippet exhibitor: “Received our copy of the latest and final edition of The Whippet today — Bo’s largest (and certainly heaviest!) to date. Before diving into it tomorrow, I’m just going to stare at this photo of our beautiful Kate opposite the table of contents. … I’m humbled that Bo asked for this photo, among the hundreds and thousands he’s used, to be displayed so prominently. …”

Sofia Sandström, Sweden, editor Whippet Bladet, the Swedish Whippet Club’s magazine: “I must say the book is fantastic … The entire book — what a masterpiece! I savor it every time I turn the pages!”

Nancy Doucette, USA, longtime Whippet exhibitor: “Arrived today! Looking forward to reading it! Thank you for [the] photo on the Specialty Winners page! May I please take a photo of your dedication page to put on Facebook and give full credit to you and The Whippet? This photo of Justin and Nicky taken in my kitchen over 22 years ago is of the two who started it all for me.”

Magnus Hagstedt, Sweden, longtime Whippet breeder, exhibitor and international judge: “Today I received your book. Fast delivery, didn’t even have to pay customs. Swedish currency has lost so much value that it's one of the most expensive books I have bought in a long time — but it’s worth it. Looking forward to reading and re-reading. Congratulations on a nice updated edition.”

Craig Morley, USA, volunteer Whippet Rescue and Placement (WRAP): “I wanted to congratulate you on the publication of your book The Whippet. I just saw it advertised on social media and was quite impressed. What an achievement … another on a long list, I’m sure!”

Jeanne Lambertsen, longtime Whippet breeder and exhibitor: “I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I love your new book, The Whippet! I’m especially thrilled that it includes a beautiful photo of me and my ‘Jovie!”
