I would say that Cricket definitely is a whippet cross, her hindquarters snout and ears look just like a whippet. Also, whippets do not generally bark very much, in fact mine (she is one year old now) has only barked about six times since we got her! And we have had her from a puppy. I have often noticed the 'eyeliner' on lurchers and whippets. Cricket is a beautiful dog and I'm sure she brings you much pleasure.
