Gotta jump in here..........GREYHOUNDS make wonderful, wonderful pets. My daughter and I counted the other day and we've had 9 greyts. All rescued. They are couch potatoes, loving, hysterically funny and for the most part, very obedient. They are easy to train and love, love, love their toys. They generally love other dogs and play very well with them. My last one died ten years ago but my daughter has a two year old now, Norman.....Saving one from being killed at a track is a noble thing, I suppose. But we've always chosen them because they're such fun and easy keepers. They DO NOT need a lot of exercise. They love sofas almost as much as they love to eat and play and be loved on. A favourite position of theirs is on their back on your couch..........pat
