re: Tell me about owning or adopting a greyhound...

that's sad. and what a downgrade in breeds. eloquent greyhound for 2 shitdoodles? no thanks.

i won't act like i know who is to blame there, but i will say that greyhounds generally need to be warmed up to new people. ours is incredibly good and calm around children. my fiance's young nieces used to try to ride her like a horse. she of course didn't like that. but never showed an ounce of aggression towards them. but i wouldn't let my child near a greyhound that wasn't familiar with them. nor would i put my greyhound in that situation.

i will say however they are very very food aggressive. if there is kibble in their bowl, they will not let any other dog or person they don't know get near it. the whole living in a kennel thing for the first few months of their lives gives them a lot of really strange habits. did i mention, a lot of them tend to pick up the habit of eating their own shite from time to time?
