I have to agree with Judy and I only had 5 now we have 4 one went to the bridge and it did take time for each and every one to come out of its shell... It takes Pateince with Greyhounds. I had one that came to me and wanted to play and now he will sometimes want to play but he also likes to just be left alone and lay on his blanket. Before we got into greyhounds, we have had dalmations, gold retriever, labs... and I can tell you Greyhounds or not like any other breed it takes time to bond, but when you do, there is no love like the love a greyhound gives back, and we will never got to another breed.. We may one day add another breed to the pack but I will always want a greyhound. Good Luck!!!!
