Greyhounds

>>2280223
I don't have personal experience raising them, but my aunt and uncle have three rescue greyhounds and they are all docile, gentle sweethearts.
A bit too streamlined to be cuddly and they need plenty of exercise, but they are very loving animals.

This guy comes to the daycare where I work. He's super chill, doesn't really play with other dogs but loves people and he's very cuddly.

Until I met him I had no idea that greyhounds' teeth chatter when they're excited. Freaked me out at first

I'm an idiot, forgot the pic. His name is Joe

Honest question: What floors do you have? Mother in law takes these things in and they always seem super scared of hard wood floors.

Tiled kitchen and hallway, carpet everywhere else

How impossible is it to have a greyhound with cats? Most rescues won't even let me fill out an application when they hear I have cats.

Dogs that were not kept inside often or kenneled most of their life tend to be scared of hard wood and slippery floors. I see it often in dogs.

Cats run a lot and greyhounds are bred to chase running animals so unless they were born at the same time and bonded,and even then I'd avise against it

Well the main problem he's facing is they're retired racing hounds, which makes them almost 100% likely to chase and eat the cat. Still good dogs, but I wouldn't if I owned another animal that's not a dog or kept in a cage.

they are super obedient
like really super obedient
it bores me tbqh

I was curious about getting a Spanish greyhound since they are actually pretty different from regular greyhounds and are better adapted at running on uneven terrain to catch prey. Spanish greyhounds are better hunters than the regular ones. Though idk if they're as good as the salukis because salukis are supposed to be the fastest.

Spanish greyhounds (galgos) are bred for hunting, they have more endurance and can run on uneven ground better than english ones, which were breed for racing, but are a bit slower. Their personality is more or less the same, but I'd say they are a bit more timid.

No idea about how they compare to salukis tho.

despite their size they are actually great apartment dogs. besides needing a good walk once a day they sleep the rest of the time. literally.

We have a grey and a saluki - both are super-chill doggos, with the saluki the less so (fucker wants to hunt 24/7 and sees small dogs, cats etc as prey).

Really love greys, lovely tempraments in most cases so long as the kennel hasn't abused them (and most don't despite some of the anti-race propaganda).

They can take a bit of house-training due to living in kennels, but dogs are habitually keen. Travel well, and don't mind crates and kennels, but are comfy doggos in the extreme due to being bony and (literally) thin-skinned. They feel the cold/heat more than many doggos, too.

Though fast, they are short-winded, and don't mind short walks once a day and then sleeping most of the rest. Cos of being kennels with many companions, they can be very unhappy being left alone for long periods.

My fave doggos, great pets and real bros.

Good rescues will cat-test dogs that seem likely to be OK around cats. Generally if they meet a cat that is feisty and stands-up for itself they will learn some respect and be fine with them - quickly learn they are part of the household.

Our saluki can outpace an ex-racing greyhound - he's breathtakingly fast, can easily clear a 6-foot wall and is strong as an ox - much more so than a greyhound. They're real hunting dogs, but great with people. Not wildly intelligent though - like greyhounds! They do need more exercise and stimulation than greys.

Doesn;t sound like any grey I've ever met - stubborn and wilful as cats most of 'em!
