Know Before You Commit

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

Critical分離不安（べったりくっつく呪い）

ウィペットは飼い主と密接な生活のために作出されており、温もりのためにしばしばベッドで寝ていました。孤立への耐性が非常に低く、多くは標準的な8〜9時間の作業日を一人で過ごすことができません。鳴き声、遠吠え、ドアフレームや寝具の破壊的な咀嚼が予想されます。

Critical狩猟本能（サイトハウンドのスイッチ）

動きが全てのトレーニングを上書きする爆発的な追跡反応を引き起こします。ビニール袋、リス、さらには走っている小さな犬でも即座に時速55kmの追跡を引き起こす可能性があります。呼び戻しは信頼できません。柵のないエリアでリードなしのウィペットは迷子になるか車に轢かれる可能性があります。

Challenge身体的な脆弱性

保護アンダーコートや脂肪層のない極めて薄い皮膚。茂みの小さな引っかかりや激しい遊びによる皮膚の裂け傷が起きやすい。寒さへの耐性ゼロ。寒い気候ではコートなしでは苦しむことになります。

Challenge小動物リスク

一般的にウサギ、齧歯類、鳥に対して安全ではありません。猫との共存は可能ですが、慎重な管理と早期社会化が必要です。屋外の猫は正当な獲物と見なされます。
