We have previously been owned by 2 greyhounds so when a rescue group asked for someone to foster a greyhound we volunteered. (Up front I will say we were "foster-failures". Tesla now wears a tag with our phone number & address. ) We didnt know her history at that time but found out that the folks who finally caught her - after seeing her and another grey running loose in a field for about 3 weeks - think she came from a person who uses greyhounds to hunt coyotes. Judging from the number of scars on her it would fit. She was almost starved, just skin and bones, fleas and worms. Between the initial rescuers and us she is now at a healthy weight and her ornery side is starting to bloom. I have been reading and talking to whoever I can to find out more about these dogs. We think she may be a lurcher. Her chest is deeper and her legs are stickier than our first 2. She also seems to have more energy. One problem that has surfaced is that when she plays she is really rough, jumping and biting. She is 77 lbs now so this behavior is painful! Our 2 smaller dogs tolerate her but will not accept her play invitations. Aside from playing rough she is sweet, gentle and loving. No food aggression. We are working on basic obedience - she picks things up really quickly - as well as other behavior responses. I'm wondering if anyone has any more general information on coyote hunting greyhounds. We live in western Nebraska, if that is any help. I am fascinated and looking to find out all I can. Thank you!
