Totally going OT here, but had to chime in. My brother has a Whippet, as does my sister. Still in the sighthound family, basically just a smaller version of a greyhound. Whippets are incredibly FAST...but they are lazy. Younger brother and his pup live with us. Dallas (Whippet) sleeps/rests almost all day. He is young, incredibly athletic, and in perfect shape...but unless he running around outside in a park, he's lying in his bed or on the couch. Levi, my Yorkie, is MUCH more active than the Whippet.

Sorry, OP!
