Looking To Find A Good Breed For A Household With A 3 Yr Old-preferably Medium-large To Large, But Not Huge!?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
We had a house fire in oct/04 and lost our 2 cats & 2 dogs. We’re ready to have housepets again. It’s a no-brainer with the cats, but, we will be introducing my munchkin to dogs, since she is too young to remember the ones we had. I am curious as to what are good breeds to have with young children. The 2 dogs we had were very old and were not threats to the baby. One was a cocker spaniel, the other a golden retriever/daschund mix (imagine a retriever with 3 inch legs-he was just too cute!). I am a firm believer that children should grow up with a companion or two if at all possible, and I am ready to start over again with a new dog.
I will definitely be looking to adopt, and I am not sure if I want a puppy, or one that is grown and house-broken already.
We have also been investigating retired greyhounds, but they are kind of iffy with cats.
I will have to find something soon as this is an incentive for potty training that IS WORKING!!!
Do NOT want any small yippy yappy things!
Do You Think A Whippet And An Italian Greyhound Make A Good Pair?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I already have a 2 year old IG (italian greyhound), love her! She’s SUCH a sweetie, but she’s grown up around other dogs all her puppy years until I moved out of my parent’s house and now I can tell she’s lonely. I spend A LOT of time w/ her, but playing with other dogs is just something she LOVES to do!
My boy and I are living w/ my mom for about 2 months til we find our next apartment and my mom’s 6 month old lab puppy plays w/ her, but I have to watch them all the time, because my mom’s dog gets rough. However my IG DOES really enjoy chasing her around and playing!
I was wondering if a Whippet and an IG are good companions? Do they have similar personalities? My IG is VERY personable and in fact absolutely LOVES meeting new people! She is very willfull and I’m STILL working on training her. She’s a couch potato, but does love getting walks.
Whatever I choose, I’m DEFINATELY going to adopt one. I live in Colorado. I just want another good companion. Can’t get a Greyhound they are too large, but I was considering either another IG or a Whippet, but I don’t know too much about the breed, cept what I’ve read and they seem great!

Would A Greyhound Be A Good Option For Me?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I would love to adopt a ex racing greyhound since I am so against the sport, and I think they are beautiful dogs. I have previously owned two small breed dogs, live in a small house but would take it on two long walks or runs per day plus games like fetch.. does anyone here have experience with them? Are they smart, easy to train dogs? Ok with cats? If not I will adopt a mix from the shelter
My Dog(greyhound/dober Mix) Is Good Listener Inside, But Outside Is Too Distracted.?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
My dog(greyhound/dober mix) is good listener inside, but outside is too distracted to listen to simple commands. Inside he will 100% percent always sits when i tell him to sit, but outside it take 5 or 6 times.
Also, when i call his name inside he always looks. Outside, he rarely looks when i say his name. Im trying to train him to not use a leash because my lawn is fairly large. Ive tried playing with him outside, but he still gets distracted too often to make any progress.
