Whippet

The Whippet is a medium-sized dog breed that closely resembles the Greyhound and Italian Greyhound in appearance. It is known for its remarkable speed, gentle temperament, and strong prey drive, making it a popular companion dog and competitive show dog. The breed has a short, smooth coat and is sensitive to cold temperatures, but generally healthy and free from many hereditary issues. The Whippet's origins date back to the early 17th century, when it was developed from small greyhound-type breeds for hunting and racing purposes. It is also believed to have connections to ancient Egyptian artworks depicting small, sighthound-like hunting dogs.learn more on wikipedia
