If you ever wanted a dog, get a greyhound, as you said great personalities, and they don't need as much exercise as you might think, two 20 minute walks knackers them

Same as most sighthounds, I don't know how people live with Labradors or Cocker Spaniels, stupid mad dogs, dogs should reserved and think about things.

My Labs often think about things, Normally its how to get into the kitchen bin but they do think.

Greyhounds are great dogs, will probably get a rescue one when the rescue dog I have now goes.

But they are overly happy dogs, which is annoying, they probably don't even know how to chase a rabbit.

Only one of my labs has been that happy, the two boys are/were miserable ****s. They dont see many rabbits so wouldnt know, but I think if they knew if they caught it they could eat it they would.

My granddad got one as a puppy in the late 70s, through a mate of my Dads who had a kennels in Sussex - Winchelsea I think. Named Queenie (after owner's late sister) and had a manky front left leg (thus couldn't race), although it chased me round Clapham Common no bovver throughout my adolescent years.

Died at the ripe old age of 19 probably due to stress induced from introduction of two male kittens to house.

Miss her.
