Do You Think These Puppies Would Be Suitable?

Im thirteen and im looking for a dog at the pound. there are about 5 greyhound puppies there. what do you think? they are four months old and it says they are really friendly. we already have a poodle that i groom, train and exercise who is a great dog. i would do all that with my dog. what would you think about a greyhound puppy? i would take very good care of it and am very responsible with my poodle who is going to turn 3. what do you think?

What Do You Think Of This?

Right, here I go.
So my best friend has a 6 year old English Cocker Spaniel (Maizie), to a doggy person it is clear to see that this dog has issues, it is snappy and stubborn with my friend and has some very bad behavioural/possibly pack ranking problems, however my friends mum sees very little fault with her and thinks she is a great dog. Now that isn’t my problem, this is!
So my friend text me a few weeks back saying that they were getting a puppy. My Instant response was,
where from?
what breed?
what sex?
Wow! From my mums friend, its a mongrel and it’s a girl.
I said, ‘do you think Maizie will take well to another female puppy?’, my friends response was, ‘probably not, Maizie will probably kill it but my mum said, she’s not having any ”willies” in this house.
I left the conversation topic there and moved onto something else.
Fair enough, if they want another dog they can get another dog, although it did baffle my mum and I as to what Maizie would think of it and also because they are going on holiday end of July, where is the puppy supposed to go??
Well, it gets worse. My friend phoned me up the other day and told me her mum wanted to get another puppy, and they were. I assumed it was from the same litter, but oh no, I was wrong. Another friend had Greyhound/Whippet puppies, surprise surprise, they were getting a *****. I said to her, ‘you must be mad. Not even I, a dog crazy orientated person who is knowledgeable on the species would ever get two puppies at the same time!!’ She told me it was three weeks old and she’d been to visit it that day. I asked her when they were getting the new dogs and she said in about two weeks ‘NO!!’ I told her this was very unwise and to wait until the puppy is atleast 8 weeks old to prevent behavioural problems.
To some it up, they currently have a temprimental cocker who is very possessive over her owner. Two people who know little about dogs (my friend couldn’t care less if they had a dog or not) and the family are out from 7.30am-5.00pm, during this time the three dogs will be left. Oh and because they think my dogs are so well trained they have asked me to help with training because they wont be taking them to training classes. They are not doggy people, their dog has to fit in with their lives and they don’t make compromises for Maizie, which means she doesn’t get daily exercise. My friends nan is also suffering from alziemers and so is living bed ridden in their house with them.
What would you do?
Maybe I’m over reacting because I would love to have three dogs.
Is this really bad?
Oh I don’t know what to say to my friend or anything?
Any advice would be welcomed, thank you.

Do You Think I’m Cruel For Using A Check (choke) Chain?

I was walking my dog and he was by my side and then he pulled to go across the front of me at a bird, I “checked” him (tighten the chain for a second) and said “AHH!” and he came back into position, a lady driving by slowed down and called me a “PRICK!” then drove off.
Also this afternoon when I walked my dog I told him to sit and he dropped instead so I “checked” him and he went back into place like he was supposed too and was rewarded for doing it right.
Three other people were in the dog park with me at the time and two of them shunned me and glared at me (even though their dogs were barking and pulling them along) and only the greyhound trainer (who I know well) gave me a nod and smile.
I feel like people are being so judgmental because I use a check chain in combination with reward when training my dog.
Do you think so??
(I don’t use it as a chocker, I use it correctly)
THANKS!

Do You Think A Whippet And An Italian Greyhound Make A Good Pair?

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!

Dog Experts, What Do You Think Of This Breed?

Hey…
I’m finally getting a puppy next week, and after a long search for the
perfect breed, I decided to go with a little-known breed that’s been
around for 150 years, and is recognized by the National Kennel Club and rumored to be the most likely next addition to the AKC due to its
rapidly increasing popularity. It is called a Texas Lacy (also known as
a “Texas Game Dog”).
It comes in three color patterns: Blue Lacy, Red Lacy, and Tri-Color Lacy.
For a great photo of a Blue Lacy, which is the color I’m getting, click here…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_lacy

Texas Lacy’s are becoming popular for several reasons: one is because
they’re considered the smartest breed on earth, even moreso than the
better-known brilliance of the Border Collie. Another is their functionality. Their lineage is a 3-way cross between a greyhound,
a redbone hound, and a coyote…the coyote in it makes it a great
hunter, the greyhound makes it remarkably athletic, and the redbone
makes it renowned bloodtracker…and therefore it’s a dog you can
train to do darn near anything. Finally, it’s considered to be one of the longest lived and healthiest dogs on earth due to very responsible limited breeding. Lacy’s commonly live to see 15, and have been known to see 20, and remain relatively mobile until the very end. And
one truly bizarre ability; Lacy’s can even climb trees to its low branches…a skill it evolved after years of breeding towards squirrel
hunting.
But I’m writing this because, there is SO LITTLE INFORMATION online
about this dog. I had to speak with 20 breeders in person before I
learned the history of this remarkable dog. Lacy breeders are a
very secretive bunch; most require interviews before granting a puppy,
and are militant about the owner intending to either actively heard with,
or hunt with, the dog.
Do ANY of you know any more info about this dog? It’s amazing how
few “experts” even know of this breed, let alone have interacted with it.
But then again, it’s a breed that’s kept a very low profile in the rural
Texas-hill country for 150 years until recently, so that might be why
so few people realize what a gem it is.
