Sighthound Society
For Italian Greyhounds · Whippets · Greyhounds

The practical newsletter for the people who love long, lean dogs.

Sighthounds aren't like other dogs. Their bones break easier. They get cold indoors. They sprint at 35 miles an hour. Their veterinarians sometimes miss what's wrong with them. This newsletter is the field manual nobody handed you when you brought one home.

Three things, done well.

i.

Health

Sighthound-specific medicine: anesthesia sensitivity, corns, fragile bones, deep-chest bloat risk, thyroid quirks, the questions to ask your vet that most vets don't volunteer.

ii.

Training

Recall in a high-prey-drive dog. Decompression for retired racers. Why force-based methods break sensitive sighthounds. What actually works on the breed group bred to think for itself.

iii.

Gear-fit

Why martingale collars are non-negotiable. Coats that actually keep them warm. Beds for deep-chested dogs. Reviews of what we've tested. Honest verdicts.

Most sighthound content is about how they look.

Search "Italian greyhound" on Instagram and you'll get 4 million posts of dogs in cashmere sweaters. Search "whippet" on Pinterest and you'll find mood boards. Search "greyhound rescue" and you'll find earnest pleas to adopt — but very little about what comes next.

There is almost nothing on the open internet that treats sighthound owners as serious adults trying to do right by an unusual dog.

Sighthound Society is the antidote. Practical, honest, opinionated. Written by an owner, for owners. Free, weekly, and short enough to read with morning coffee while your dog stretches across the entire couch.

One issue a week. Sundays.

The Field Note

One practical lesson per issue — a vet trick, a training fix, a gear discovery. Built around something we tested or something a sighthound veterinarian told us.

The Reading List

Three things worth reading: a study, a story, a thread. Curated, not aggregated.

The Gear Verdict

One product reviewed honestly. Sometimes a recommendation. Sometimes a warning. We tell you when "the best collar for whippets" isn't.
