Is a Whippet considered a Grey Hound?
Yes, and no. A whippet is an English Greyhound mini. I have found that whippets tend to be lap dogs, and they adopt the same character traits as most lap dogs, if not trained properly. Most dogs can be good pets. The problem usually lies with the owner of the pet, though, treating a small dog like a baby or child, instead of treating it like a dog. This isn't too imply that the OP would do that, just an observation. I've been around a lot of greyhounds, and they have all been well behaved. I have never encountered a well behaved whippet.
