Whippets and invisible fences

I am moving to the country with 4 dogs - one is a Whippet. I would like to use an invisible fencing system. My other dogs would do just fine with this but I am wondering about my Whippet, Gracie. I have a Toy Fox Terrier (under l0 pounds) and the current can be adjusted for her without a problem. Is there something I should know about whippets and invisible fences? Gracie is not a runner. My dogs can be out with me unleashed and not go anywhere, but I want the fence so they can be out without supervision. Any suggestions?

Hi,

In all the books on Whippets they explain that Whippets are lovers not fighters. An invisible fence will not keep other dogs out only keep the Whippet in. Think about it.
