My husband and I are possibly going to be adopting a third dog into our pack this year. We are leaning towards a sighthound. He would love a borzoi (I would too!) but we don't have quite enough space at the moment. A whippet or a silken is closer to the size we'd prefer.

My biggest concern right now is just finding one. I'm actually a dog trainer, and I'd like to possibly find one that would like to do rally or agility. I know I'd have better prospects if I went to a breeder. Heck, I'm in contact with the chairman of the American Whippet Club. But I'd rather get an adult right now, due to my two seniors at home. A puppy might not be the best for them.

Input or advice?

Thank you!

Hello. I was wanting to ask those of you on the field already: why is it so difficult to find a vet assistant job?

I've been working with animals for over 20 years, and I've done animal care at a wildlife center. I'm currently a dog trainer, and I want to move on from my current position. (It's a really long story why)

I've had a handful of interviews at nearby clinics, and they seem to go well. But then I never hear back from them.

Advice on what to do?
