I have been thinking about getting a dog for some years. I have looked at different breeds and have been particularly looking at the husky types, even visiting crufts earlier in the year to talk to breeders there.
However i stumbled upon a site to do with retired greyhounds. I love this breed, when i was a child my neighbour used to keep and race them. I always remember taking them over the fields by where i lived, with their kid, who was my age and a close mate at school. I have also had a keen interest in the racing side of it, with a race track being local to me.
I have never considered this breed before, mainly because of what i assumed was their high energy. However looking at some sites it appears that the retired ones, because of their intensive training in the early years are actually quite docile. In view of this i am going to visit some local kennels, linked to the race track, at some point this week.
I wondered if anyone here has any experience of them themselves???
