If you ever watched the Bravo show about owners of dog show dogs one of the couples had a few Whippets. They basically are right between IG's and Greyhounds in size but are typically brindled.

He bit everyone once except me. :) He died when I lived in California and every time I go home I still expect him to come running out with his little tail wagging so hard that the back half of his body was moving side to side. *sigh* I can't wait until I can afford to get a dog ... I'll be getting a brown miniature dachshund. My family used to have one when I was in high school … college.
