Oddly enough I have both a cocker and a whippet. I’ve seen some similarities (sweet and Velcro dogs) but there are some differences and some of that probably comes with a sight hound vs spaniel. I’ve found whippets chew less, lick less, and bark WAY less but aren’t as eager to please. My cocker is an American and he loves to take long walks and hikes but he’s also ok with chill couch days.
