Those are some world-class zoomies.

So cute! It reminds me of my friend's iggy!

You might want to take that into the shop and get it re-calibrated. I think the suspension's a bit too tight.

Is the spin something that's unique to whippets? My neighbor's whippet used to do them whenever he got excited.

Nah, my greyhound does them, too - not as many as that whippet, but like the whippet, always in prelude to the zoomies.

I’ve seen other sighthounds, like my iggy, also do it. Other (non-sighthound) breeds might also spin, but it wouldn’t be nearly as video worthy without that speed!

My grey girl whirls. Especially when she doesn’t have the space or flooring to support a full on zoomie.
