Whippet

Speedy and sleek, whippets are skilled at reaching speeds of 35 miles an hour. These easygoing hounds love chasing toys… and neighborhood squirrels. But unfortunately, their thin coats mean they can get cold easily in the colder months.

Whippets are a healthy bunch overall. But can be genetically predisposed to deafness in their older years. So be aware of this aspect if you decide that this breed is right for you.

English Springer Spaniel

English Springer Spaniels are well-known for their eager-to-please and friendly nature. And as per our list, they’re generally healthy dogs. They’ll do well with regular exercise and are less prone to extreme genetic disorders.

Although, like all breeds, they can experience issues like retinal atrophy and hip dysplasia when they’re older. But careful breeding and vet check-ups once a year can help ensure they live a whole and healthy life.
