Anyone Have REAL Experience In This, Tell Me About It
Anyone Have REAL Experience In This, Tell Me About It Today I took my mother to a Meet and Greet with a local Greyhound Rescue Organization. I have spent the last 35 years raising Rottweilers, so I know little about this breed. My mother had remarked many times in the past that she would like to adopt a Greyhound. Due to the recent loss of my Rottweiler, my mother is really missing the companion of a dog. After all, there has always been a in the house for the last 47 years. When i was born, my mother had a Fox Terrier. Then came a mix breed who was hit by a car. Then came the two Dobermans and were impeccably trained. Then about 35 years ago I added a Rottweiler to the mix. From that point on there have only been Rottweiler's in the family. But, my mother is elderly and needs a quiet calm dog. I did some reading and found that their temperament and living requirements match my mother's situation very well. She has a large fenced yard and plenty of family members that can come and walk the any day the weather is nice. She does have two cats and the Rescue Organization said that they can find her a that is small pet friendly. The dogs we met were so well behaved even in a busy pet store. They are also just the right size and apparently like to sleep a lot. Perfect for my mother, her medication makes her sleep a lot. I'm really hoping that this works out for my mother because the house is not the same without a here. |

Yeah, I hear you. They are great friends and companions.

I've never personally had one, but had a friend whose family had a couple. They seemed to be as you describe. Need some outdoor time, but won't beat you up and be chomping at the bit. Hope that's helpful.

I am petless for the first time since 1987. In that time I've only had 2 dogs because my beloved Sasha, a lab mix from the pound I got as a puppy, lived to be 18, and my last dog Sierra has taken up residence with our former neighbors as we were planning moving and really could not take her with us. In the last days before we moved we had to put down my favorite cat Tiger. I leaves a sad hole in my heart and soul. Hope all works out for your mom.
