Should I get the Whippet if I have a Siamese cat already and 1.5 years old child who is great with the cat and dogs?

I've always dreamed about the Whippets, read a lot about this breed and I think this breed would be the best for our family. My 1.5 years old child is going to be an only child so it would be great to have some company for him, moreover we love to be outside. The only problem might be our Siamese cat...

No, not at all. Our DC were never scared of either our first puppy or any subsequent ones, and they were all thrilled a few years later when we got a second puppy. They all love dogs as adults.

I'd rather have got a dog before we had DC, but circumstances didn't permit it, and both DH and decided that now was the time. Yes, it is hard work having a toddler or small DC (or, in my case, both) when you get a puppy, but if you're determined to make it work, you can.

That little JRT was 100% worth the effort.

Thank you. It’s probably first or second post saying that it’s ok to get a puppy and it was a pleasure to read it however I also really appreciate the other posts where the mums are against to do that. I remember how difficult was having a cat when my child was a baby. So it’s probably depends on the puppy. My child loves all the dogs and he is not afraid at all.
Anyway I’m definitely not ready for another hard work. I wish I had an older dog already….
