I've just been into the Crufts website and looked at the number of entries for the Whippets. There's about 320 odd. I didn't realise they were so popular (but I'm not surprised!). The only other breed in the Hounds group that has more entries is the Afghan. Looking at the various groups overall, the whippets have one of the highest number of dogs entered for the show! I was quite surprised by this! It's obviously very competitive in the Whippet show world and very difficult to win at Crufts!
