Guest TirzhaZ Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi, I'm new around here. I've lurked a few times on this forum for answers to some questions as I navigated a few situations with my best boy, Cairo. Cairo joined our family in September. We fostered him at first and then failed and kept him! I have always had dogs and/or cats, but Cairo is my first greyhound. I'm positive he won't be my last, though!While I am unable to gather more information, what I have found out is that Cairo was abandoned by his breeder at a vet clinic. We got him at just under 5 months old and after adopting him we had our vet run all kinds of tests to make sure he's healthy and fracture-free (he is!) I've contacted a breeder in Colorado about him and she has tried finding out who his breeder is as well, as abandoning a greyhound is grounds for being disbarred she said. Anyway, I haven't found a ton of "Raising greyhound puppies" sites out there. Most information I've found is for retired racers and what to expect from them. We're doing okay though! He's 10 months old now and growing quick. We have made great strides in being social with other dogs and he's a complete goofball. We are very glad to have him in our lives over here (I'm married and have a 7 year old daughter.) He's an amazing addition to our family. Lazy, but amazing free screen capture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoesmommy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Congrats on the baby boy! I know not a thing about Greyhound puppies either but would enjoy hearing all about them. You are the first person I know who has one. If you start a post on raising this puppy, I will be happy to follow and just listen. I can't add anything except Welcome to GT and how beautiful Cairo is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a handsome guy! I'm partial to the brindles right now He's adorable! Jennifer of NeverSayNeverGreyhounds just raised a greyhound puppy. Maddie is one-year old now. Jennifer's site is full of great information. Jennifer's site is one I've been checking out quite a bit! Not so much lately because, well, I just don't always have the time. But I love her site! I'm getting some work done in my living room right now (studying, blech!) and one whole wall is mirrored. Apparently Cairo has jut discovered this and he keeps staring into it at my reflection as I sit on the couch typing and reading away. He emits a low growl at the impostor mama every couple of minutes, then looks to me for comfort and reassurance that I won't let that evil fake mom take him away! For some reason he has not yet noticed his own reflection in the mirror, but that should be interesting when he does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullysmum Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome to the site, what a handsome young fellow. I raised two Greyhound pups, litter brothers from six weeks old and have been scarred for life.......just joking they are just like any other pups except they do everything quicker including getting into trouble! Keep us posted on his progress, there are always plenty of folk here to share good advice and generally coo over lovely pups. Eta. If you look below at my Sig you can see the two holy terrors during a quiet moment!

krissy Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Greyhound puppies are so much fun. Kili came home at 8 weeks old. She just turned 18 months and is finally starting to (sometimes) act like a (kind of) adult. Then: Now: Congrats on your new family member. Take lots of photos. They grow up far too fast!
