What is the difference between a greyhound and a whippet?
Well, a Whippet is a cross with a greyhound and another dog (commonly a terrier or a spaniel), so it depends on the strength of the other breeds. Although, greyhounds are taller and can run very fast but whippets are smaller and generally more stream lined! I'd say it's up to you but greyhounds are bred for racing!
Would a whippet be good living with a fully grown cat if they were introduced when the whippet was a puppy?
If you get the whippet when it is older then it probably is not used to cats and will chase it. However by introducing them when the whippet is a VERY young puppy will get it used to cats.
