This whippet plush toy is made to order. We don't have a shelf of ready-made dogs. When you order, we sew a whippet just for you: your coat color, your size, and if you like, your own dog's face and markings.
Finally, a whippet toy that looks like a whippet
Whippet owners keep saying the same thing: they wish there was a plush that actually looks like a whippet. Most stuffed dogs are generic, Labrador-shaped dogs with a new name. The cute cartoon whippets are sweet, but they're round and chunky, and a real whippet is anything but.
A whippet is a British sighthound, sized between a Greyhound and an Italian Greyhound. In 19th-century England people called it "the poor man's racehorse," and it can hit 35 mph. At home the same dog turns into a long, floppy noodle that sleeps half the day under a blanket and follows you from room to room. Owners call them velcro dogs for a reason.
So a good whippet stuffed animal has to get the lines right: the narrow head, the long neck, the deep chest, the tucked-up waist, thin legs and a long curved tail. Get those wrong and it's just a dog.
The whippet in these photos
We made this black whippet for an owner who wanted to keep their dog close in the form of a toy. It has a grey patch on the chest and belly, pale blue eyes, pink inner ears and a shiny black nose. Its legs bend, so it can lie down with its paws stretched out or stand alert with its head up, like a whippet that just heard the treat bag.
Your whippet soft toy, your way
- A whippet plush in any coat color: black, white, red, fawn, cream, blue, brindle or parti-colored
- A replica of your own whippet from your photos, with its real markings, eye color and ear set
- A greyhound, lurcher or Italian greyhound toy made the same way
- The size you want, from a shelf buddy to a toy that takes up a sofa cushion
Some people order one as a gift for a whippet lover. Others want a keepsake of a dog who's no longer with them. If that's you, take a look at our memorial pet toys too.
One honest note, since people search for "whippet dog toy": this is a toy for humans, not a chew toy. Most whippets love to shred plushies, so keep it on a shelf they can't reach.

The whippet in these photos is sewn from soft, short black plush that lies close to the body, the way a whippet's own short, smooth coat does. Fluffy fabric would hide the lines, and on a whippet the lines are everything.
The details that make it read as a whippet:
- a grey patch on the chest and belly
- pale blue eyes
- folded ears with pink inner fabric
- a shiny black nose
- legs you can bend to change its pose
For your whippet stuffed toy we match the fabric to your dog's coat: fawn, brindle, blue, white or patches. Tell us what matters, like a white blaze or one odd ear. Everything we use is safe and eco-friendly.
A whippet plush usually takes 2β4 weeks to make. That covers a pattern for the slim body and long legs, cutting and sewing, and then the face, which takes the most care.
A whippet's expression lives in a few small things: the eyes, the ear set, the angle of the head. For a copy of your own dog, we check them against your photos. Handmade work sometimes needs another pass to get it right, so the time includes a small reserve.
When your whippet is ready, you get photos before it ships.
Once your whippet toy is finished, delivery can sometimes take up to 20 business days, and in some cases only 7. It depends on where you live, the shipping company and the method you choose.
Around holidays couriers get swamped, and parcels can run late.
Ordering a gift for a whippet owner? Add up the sewing time and delivery, and order early if it has to arrive by a certain date, like a birthday or Christmas.
A memorial toy doesn't have a deadline. Take the time you need to pick the photos you want us to work from.
We've been making custom plush toys since 2009. Realistic animals are tricky work, and sighthounds are trickier than most. There's no fluffy coat to hide a wrong line, so the shape of the head, chest and legs has to be right from the start.
If you order a copy of your own whippet, we know you'll look at it the way you look at your dog. That's the standard we sew to.
If you're not happy with our work for any subjective reason within 14 days, we'll give you a full refund.

Why?
No ready-made pattern. Your photo or drawing doesn’t come with one. Our artist builds the pattern from scratch and turns a flat picture into a 3D toy. It’s the hardest and slowest part.
Materials picked for your toy. The right color, fur length and texture. Sometimes we order fabric just for one project.
Sewn by hand. Every piece is cut, sewn, stuffed and finished by hand. The face takes the most time: move an eye a millimeter and the character changes.
You approve it first. When your toy is ready, we send you photos. Something looks off? We fix it before shipping.
One toy, not a thousand. A factory spreads design costs over thousands of copies. Here, all that work goes into one toy: yours.
That’s why prices start at $350. And on a personal order, if you don’t love your toy, you get a full refund.
