OMG here we go, Whippets, Greyhounds & Lurchers

And they are not safe around cats. They will tolerate them in the house, even cuddle up with them. But outside if the cat runs, its toast. Sighthounds cannot stop themselves from chasing a fleeing animal.

Common things people say when you own a whippet.

Aww an Italian Greyhound I love them.
You should feed your dog it’s cruel. We can see his ribs.
My dog [who’s coughing up his lungs] is keeping up with your dog [not even panting and barely trotting].
Did you know about the breed before you got him
Do you race him
Is he fast.
Do you course him
How much for the daaag.

This is where responsible ownership comes into play. Keeping the dog safe but also other animals around it safe. Training and knowing your own dog goes a long way to ensure the safety of other small animals.
