Adopted a Greyhound

[JJEH]

It´s a very nice Dog

Hope you will have many fun with it, Greyhounds are very suitable for a running workout

From what I have learned racing Greyhounds spend almost all of their time in a crate. Let out to go to the bathroom and when it is time to race. I suppose that it is a big business for some. If the dog races well he/she will go onto race for up to 5 years. Blaze's last race from what I can find was last May 14, 2008 but sometimes races don't get updated.

You would think that the breed would be angry after all of that. It is completely the opposite. He is so timid and kind. He went from 40 mph to couch potato in no time When I take him to our large back yard he reminds me of a track star. He first stretches the front legs then the back. Begins to jog then lets it go full throttle with a bust of speed.

Were taking him in tomorrow to meet our vet and get a wellness exam. He did have all of his shots and teeth cleaned just before we got him from the adoption agency. The Greyhound adoption people are really amazing. My hat goes off to all of those volunteers that help get these great dogs placed with families.

Get him a bunny rabbit for Easter. I'm sure that he'll love you for it.

Congratulations on your new Greyhound.

Do you have a two level home? If so will he climb the stairs to the second level?

I ask because my sister in-law adopted two, one goes by the name "Skiddy Octane" and the other one which was not raced "Zack".

Skiddy will not climb the stairs to the second level . She is very happy with both of them.

Blaze does not seem interested and has not tried to go upstairs yet. I don't think he has been trained to do it. The new home we are trying to complete will have a downstairs basement, and a second story (more stairs). I was thinking about getting baby gates when the time comes when we move.

Karen is wanting to get another Greyhound someday. From what I have read they like the company of another. How long has your sister in law had Skiddy Octane and Zack?

Please post a video....I'd love to see him streching and warming up then when he's ready getting set in the blocks and waiting for the starter pistol(or the sound of your voice).

You need to take him to the dog park and let him pump up his chest and strut his stuff. Parallels the feeling we get on the way to the local cruise!

next door neighbor has a brown exactly like yours..he was lonely they thought and also adopted a white female, they pal around everywhere, I dont think I have ever seen them apart now that I think of it...they can really cruise the backyard when they want to .
