It is a dropbox link t hat should take you straight to the pictures. Maybe I'm being over excited and I have looked at these 2 pictures too long but does he fully look greyhound? He does but he doesn't. They stated he's 88lbs. They also said he had an approximate BDAY of 1/10/2010 - does he look a little younger to anyone else? Again you lot would know better but I googled brindle senior greyhounds and they have at least a tiny bit of grey...even my 5 yr old Dachshund has a grey chin.

  3. As posted above, he'll probably try to wipe the muzzle off his face, but it sounds like a good idea if it will make your parents feel calmer. Also a good just-in-case with the weiner dog around until you're certain he's ok with small dogs. Also good for the safety of any food left on the counter. Here's a link to the kind of muzzle we are talking about. https://tinyurl.com/ydeb5by4 There are many places to buy them, including many adoption programs. Your program might even give you one. That's exactly the same muzzle I got him! Blue color and everything. I'm going to attempt to upload a picture. She said there was no tattoos in his ears so maybe he was a hunting dog...They said he was a pet and then the owner had to give him up and he ended up in a kill shelter in KY. Just sounds fishy to me... I understand someone having to give up a lifelong pet but why would you give it to a kill shelter?! I'm not sure.
  4. Thanks for the tips! Wow I did not know that... Once I figure out how to attach a pic I will.... he looks mostly Greyhound but he looks kind of young. I mean I wouldn't know but the shelter isn't all that knowledgeable either. The muzzle would be for my parents not Milo the Dachshund! lol
  5. Oh yes! My parents were scared of my first dog Milo a mini dachshund! They have large personalities but it really depends on the person. I personally do not love all large breeds...I can't tell you exactly why but it just makes me uncomfortable being around some very large animals. My ex has a 1 yr old Doberman and I was a little scared at first but not so much after a few months and sometimes he nips when he gets really playful and it still makes me uncomfortable. I personally want my dog to look scary! I think if people see a muzzle they get scared as well. Personally I don't want people talking to me and I wouldn't mind people thinking that I have a protection dog...although Milo the mini Dachshund might be a better protector. If you didn't grow up with big dogs...they're scary.
  6. Hello all, New poster here! Also I am about to be a new greyhound dad. So I am adopting a greyhound that I've been told is NOT an ex-racer...I was a bit perplexed as to his history because if he didn't come from the track who is breeding Greyhounds? Again, I don't know very much of him, they said he was a pet but then got to a kill shelter in Kentucky and now is in Indiana and I stumbled upon him... They want me to take him ASAP, and that is this Sunday. He is a senior and will be 9 in January - I don't mean to be weird...but is this too old? I mean will he die in my care within a year? I have a wiener dog that now lives with my parents but I've never gone through losing a pet. I want to give him a good home because he's old and I feel like getting adopted may be harder for him but I'm not sure what everyone experience is with an older Greyhound? His teeth look a little yellow, is there a brush that is best? He most likely not muzzle trained and I'm not sure i'll use one but I will have to if I take him to my parents which I will during the holidays. My parents were scared of Milo when I brought him home...he was about a 4LB dachshund then... so a 88lb Grey is a bit much. The muzzle will help, any tips? Any tips or comments would be welcome, I am very excited but just wish him to live a long life.
  7. Hi! I am actually not a Grey owner yet...(Sunday is the day) However I do have a wiener dog that I do from time to time supplement with Omegas. CARLSON Fish & Cod Liver Oil is some of the best around. It is cold pressed and nitrogen flushed and free of all heavy metals and excipients. They've been around for 50 years. They sell the fish and cod oil pretty much anywhere that is a little more upscale (GNC, Whole Foods, Fresh Thyme, Marianos...Amazon) so you can get some there. I like to put in a teaspoon with their food.
