yes. the only concern would be near busy main roads and surrounding places where your whippet may come out of sight of you. if you don't do that and let your dog run on a pavement adjacent to a busy major road, then chances are your whippet will speed off into the tracks of a vehicle. if the whippet is a young puppy train the dog to walk senisbly and teach it the places that are safe to be off the leash.
Greyhound or Whippet are slender dogs, but are usually jumpy and uneasy breeds.
The Whippet.
Greyhound then comes the whippet If you mean fattest then it could be any dog that is not fed a good diet or is over fed. If you mean biggest I would have to say and Old English Matiff because they could top 200 pounds. If in fact you mean the fastest dog then I agree the Greyhound or whippet would be the .
He was bred as a dog for races and for hunting.

Hello there! if your female whippet has traits of a whippet she may be classified as a quarter or even less. when dogs are mated they don't necessarily have to be two pedigree dogs. one dog may have traits of lab for example. check this with your vet they may have more sufficent theories than myself

hello i have a whippet cross fox terrier. we were told he was pure bred, but upon closer research he is not pure bred. looks similair to a foxy, but a rather thin sparse coat like a whippet. has strong back legs, fox terrier face but a whippet snout. Very energetic dog, but prone to separation anxiety. An inside dog, not a kennel dog. very loving :) look it up on Google, "fox terrier whippet cross" on images. one there looks very similaiar to my doggie :)
