Good looking brindle, Steve.

Matt decided to *really* roll in some poop the other day. It's a usual occurrence, but this time he went all out.

Nice looking dog. I wouldn't mind having a greyhound.

I have a mutt, mixed with Italian greyhound and Chihuahua.

I'll bet it is very cute, too! A friend has a small dog that she thinks is the same mix.

Greyhounds are a different breed. I recommend much research before considering adopting one. A place to get info on greys and adoption groups is http://www.adopt-a-greyhound.org/index.shtml

Portland has two great groups and I know that Salem and Medford have groups as well.

I'm right in Medford. Why research so much?

I will. I don't want to just get a dog and not have the right environment for them.

Most greyhounds are raised to race. That means that they spend most of their lives in crates being handled by humans and have never had time to just be a dog. They should never be off leash except in a fully fenced (6' height) area because if something catches their attention (like a car), they will chase it often to the point of exhaustion or even death. Bringing a retired racer in to a home can be difficult because they don't know about windows, sliding glass doors, stairs or furniture. They do know about turnout areas, so are very easily trained to let you know when they need to go outside. Some are high prey (not safe around cats, small dogs, or toddlers) and some are best friends with cats, squirrels, etc. And everything in between. Most agencies require a home visit and interview if you haven't had one before, since it is a different experience from what people consider normal dogs. But they are loyal and always happy and worship the people in their lives.

Never thought of that. Thanks for the info. Will for sure research if I ever decide on one.

Wish they always were that small and cute. But like kids, they grow to be teenagers.

They used a picture of our newest greyhound, Tia, in the ad for an adoption event last weekend.
