• 2 whole, cleaned rabbits
• 2 oranges cut in half

Note:
The whippet is comparatively new to the sight hound family, originating in England just one hundred years ago. "Whip-it" was a slang expression for running. Capable of reaching 35 miles per hour, the whippet combines the speed of the greyhound with the ratting instincts of the terrier—characteristics that make this breed a superior rabbit dog. What better reward for your pet than this simple roast rabbit with exhilarating sage stuffing.
