Greyhounds- Dog Breed Reviews

I'd like to recommend Retired Racing Greyhounds to anyone wishing to add a permanent member to their family.

Skip the hassle, mess and destruction of puppy-hood!  A retired greyhound is an adult dog in a child's mind!?!  That is to say, they come to you with no experience of the world.  They will learn and grow from all of their experiences with you.  You will see their personality emerge day by day, as they learn to play with toys, seek your approval with their silly games, give and receive affection in abundance!

So take my advice! Look up greyhounds on the web, come see them at local meet...

Theres alot to be said about this breed, and if someone was intrested..I'd very much point them to this breed. Now, some of the cons that can be listed, well..it doesnt apply to every greyhound..not even some, most or whatever. They are very...indepentant of so call cons..They arent guarddogs, 95% of really arent. "Not easy to train" hmm, neither are humans..but I believe this is totally wrong. "Aggressive to small dogs/pets" yes, some can be, some arent. My grey loves my cat and my cat loves her..so again, this con doesnt apply to the whole breed. "Not good swimmers" now this one, i'm not sure...

They are a wonderful breed.  The smartest that I have ever seen.  Works well with my pug, yes pug.  I love them.  Save a life!

Although large, these are the greatest big dogs in the world.  My babies sleep and eat, looks for an occassional cuddle and a hug here or there. They don't whine, they never bark and they follow instruction well. They are people friendly and love children.  I talk to them as I do the children and I honestly believe they understand every word I say.  They have tons of personality and no two are alike.  Each is an individual.  They have been a GREYT addition to our family.

great dogs, love to run, very affectionate

I was brought up with Black Labs; had a few rescue dogs, and strays I found.  German Sheps and Shep mixes, a Dalmatian mix, 1 Yellow Lab.

 When I had to have my Yellow Goldie put to sleep I was lost.  My husband was out of my life, I lived alone(which was a lot better than having him around...but that's another story!)  I hated coming home from work to a house with no life except African violets.

I'd worked at a local Humane Society years ago and fought against people trying to introduce greyhound racing to Pennsylvania.  I knew a little about them, but only in the context of racing and how...
