[Closed] talk to me about whippets or other similar sized dogs that are worth a look

Does anyone here have a whippet? They seem like a pretty good all round dog but the only thing putting us off is the fact they may need a coat when it rains or in winter. This seems a bit of a faff, so does anyone have first hand experience of them? Do they really need a coat to stop them getting cold when it rains? We've also looked at a whippet / bedlington cross by way of something a similar size but more hardy but the beddies have a bit of a bad rap for killing cats, something I'd not be fussed by (semi-joking..) but I suspect the neighbours would. Is there another similar sized dog with a similar temperament that anyone can recommend as an alternative? We're looking for a mutt that likes: - sleeping (but will get three 1/2 to 1 hour walks a day) - children - visitors and won't bite them - silence (i.e. doesn't yap all day for no reason) - bikes - camping - eating toys and not furniture Any views / guidance would be appreciated.

Great dogs and you'll never have a dull moment. Dont let it turn into a cat killer like my Lakeland!
