If i give you my story i would appreciate any tips, ideas, comments, criticism etc.
There are five of us in my family dh ds5 dd7 dss13 plus two confident cats and a big fat guinea pig. I work from home and occasionally mobile (hair and nails) dh works 8-5. I have always had rescue animals, a few years ago i started to hanker for a dog but life just wasn't right to accommodate one. We went to the dog races a couple a years ago and that is were i fell in love with greyhounds we also have a couple of friend/acquaintances that have rescue greyhounds.
So life seems to have changed and we could next year fingers crossed afford a dog (dh now has permanent work) and so i have gone back to longing for a greyhound. I need a dog that will laze about whilst i do my clients one that will tolerate children (they will be dog trained as they have been cat trained) one that clean tidy and mellow (sounds like what you want from a husband lol) that can deal with 2 walks a day but that i can also build up to nice long rambles in the country does this sound like a greyhound or am i asking too much of any breed? also iv not owned a dog before .
I would like to know about your hounds what traits do they have what illnesses are they prone to are they ill often etc. Also would i ever be able to let them off the lead? would i ever really need to? are they easy to train/well behaved etc?
And also how wonderful they are as pets.
