Guest joescho Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hello: I've just joined as I do not have a grey but was interested in getting a dog (will be my first dog) and a grey seemed to be the best fit for me. As I'm sure all of you already have greys, I thought before I went ahead and contacted a rescue group I would reaearch all of this out to make sure it was best for me and the dog. I have many questions, but I'm not sure this section is the right place to ask them, possibly the behaviorial section. But anyway thanks I look forward to hearing from all of you. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greytpups Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) http://www.adopt-a-greyhound.org/misc/top_ten_reasons_to_adopt.shtml http://www.retiredracinggreyhounds.com/10reasons.html here are a couple of sites that may answer some of your questions. Your question is very broad and really difficult to answer without knowing a bit about you and what you are looking for in a dog in general. There are also some threads that may answer some of your questions. This may help http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php/topic/310318-is-a-greyhound-right-for-my-lifestyle/?hl=%2Bgreyhound+%2Bbreed+%2Badopt&do=findComment&comment=5766217 Edited November 18, 2014 by greytpups Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest allopatry Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 A bit late to this post, but I recently adopted my first dog and it was a grey. Greytest decision? (ugh) They definitely have quirks, such as needing special anesthesia, above-average teeth care, and poor tolerance of extreme temperatures. They make great companions though! Most are fairly quiet and sleep most of the day. Overall the chillinest dogs and I love my newly adopted greyhound Let us know how your search goes. Adoption is always a realistic option for greys.
