Our dogs live with us in the house and have plenty of room to play outdoors.

Our Whippets all live together, eat together, sleep together and play together. 
I have tried hard to breed Whippets that can be enjoyed by families
without continual confinement in crates. To me this creates soundness and encourages good minds.
The only time we use crates is when we go to shows.
