I have one of each. The male is super laid back and the female is a little anxious once in a while in certain situations. The female is a total love bug where the male is more quiet with his affection. Our boy bonded with my husband while the girl is my baby. But they both love each of us.
But I guess they all are different.

We are in our 9th month of having Sidney and June...
A few days ago Sidney FINALLY decided he didn't want to go in his crate at the end of the night.
So I am happy to say I think we are finally passed the crates!
We are leaving them out for now where they are during the day and at night. If all stays well, we will be collapsing them up and putting them away in the attic.

So sorry for your loss.....
Run free Wren!

I maybe need to start freezing them... June, especially can lick the inside of one clean in minutes. She's such a little mooch!
-
We actually ONLY put peanut butter in our Kongs.
But we don't use them to crate them either... they go in just by saying "crate".
There was a week or 2 where June suddenly didn't want to go in her crate anymore. We would coax her in and gave her lots of praise. She hasn't minded at all since.

Weird... our one hound Sidney only whines for our neighbor?!
-
This is a fantastic report! Thanks for letting us all know.
It's great to hear success stories?
Go Sid!
-
I love this! Thanks for sharing
He looks like such a sweetie!

I was adamant about coats on the dogs below 40 at first. June seems fine with coats... Sidney seems annoyed.
Now if it's a quick potty break I let it go and let them out without the coats.
Tonight it's 16 here... I'll probably put the coats on for their 10 PM potty break.

So sorry Chris
Run Sequoia, run!

Oh that's great! Thanks for the update. Nice to hear he's doing better and not in pain
-
Thanks for the reminder... my sister uses those E-cigarettes. I'll make sure when she is over they are very much out of harms way.
-
Horray for Sid being home!
Hope he heals quickly. It's tough trying to not have them walk and move around much.
-
Great news! Thx for the update! We all worry when a hound goes in for surgery on here.
Hopefully he will realize he's not in pain anymore and will begin to walk normal again.
-
Fingers crossed this is successful and Sid is his usual tripod self again!
Way to be an awesome mom

Wanted to update you all...
I've been doing the fist approach. Seems to be working well. I wait until she gently is nosing/sniffing my hand before I open it. And she's been gently taking the treat.
Thanks for the great advice gang! Always good advice here
-
Our June is a little "ferocious" when taking treats from you. She goes at them almost in a frenzy and ends up biting fingers a lot of times.
I'm not really sure how to deal with this since usually you use treats for a lot of training LOL
Any ideas?
-
Yeah! Great news!
-
Yeah for no break! Glad she is ok

Hoping for good news!

Thx everyone for the kind words.... Tho Oscar wasn't mine, I've known him for several years, seen him grow, and he was the first greyhound I ever met.
I will definitely pass along your sentiments to her.

My good friend, the friend that made me want to adopt greyhounds, lost their greyhound Saturday to Lymphoma.
When I first met her and her husband, they had two greyhounds... Ice and Oscar. This was 5 years ago.
They are what made me want to adopt them!
Oscar died Saturday.... He came so far since I've known him. He was very people shy when I first met him. The last time I saw him he came over for a play date with my hounds. He was sweet and affectionate.
This was about 2 months ago.
I feel lucky to have known Oscar.... He was a great greyhound and a sweetheart. I wish my friend peace during this difficult time.

My eyes just got misty reading your post.
Find comfort in their memories.
Having A Hard Time Getting Sidney To Eat
in Training and Behavior discussion
Posted · Edited by 2greyhoundMINI
Well, recently, Sidney hasn't been very interested in eating. We started adding something "interesting" to his food to bribe him to eat... But it's getting harder and harder to bribe him.
His behavior has been the same other-wise.... Active, runs around, no scratching, licking himself, poop is normal, etc.
He eats treats still just fine.
Granted, it has been hot here lately. But the last few days have cooled off significantly but at hasn't affected this behavior.
We are thinking of bringing him to the vet for some tests.
Anything else we can do or look out for? I kinda think he's just bored of his food?
