r/Greyhounds

hello! my partner and I just submitted an embark DNA test for our 1 y/o 60lb puppy, Cam. we rescued Cam about a year ago and were told that she is a Dane/German Shepherd mix, but I don’t really see it. personally, I believe she could be a Greyador or something along those lines, but I’m not entirely sure. what do you guys think?

will update when we get her embark back!

EDIT: for context- we live in the SW United States :)

some traits about Cammy girl:

-uses her paws for everything
-powerful tail
-deeeeeeeep chest
-deep bark
-runs fast af
-ears can be floppy, both straight up, or one up one down
-very smart and learned basic commands within a week of living with us
-long flat snoot
-short and slick black coat with occasional singular white hairs
-front paws have white patches with black spots
-never stays still
-just a good girl

Still some work to do with her, such as getting her to walk nicely on a lead and not be as reactive to other breeds, but she is a great addition for myself, and Wilbur.

She still follows me from room to room, too. But I hope that will settle in time.

Nova stares at me frequently. I always wonder what he’s thinking about it when he does this. Maybe wondering why I can’t read his doggo mind? Lol

We just let Kiki do "Her Thing".

If she doesn’t move in a minute, she’s getting a cool wet towel put on her, which she will not approve of either!

Hello!! This is Millie!! She is exactly 50% coon dog and 50% greyhound. I have had corn dogs in the past. Never even thought about having a greyhound. While she looks very strongly coon dog. Her personality seems to be popping more of a greyhound.

Can you all share what it’s like having a greyhound? The good and the bad. I know she might be big that’s OK. I already have a great dane. Obviously, I’ve been on the Internet searching through information like that but true owners I feel like is the best way to go.

Thankfully Marty is unfazed by them, but his sister Evie is very frightened by them, and unfortunately on their post dinner potty a few test fireworks went off spooking her. She gets a sedative for them that unfortunately hasn’t kicked in yet since we weren’t expecting noise so early.

He’s been gently following her around the house as she searches for a safe spot to curl up in and standing over her like a sweet boy. She is generally a little more attached to him than he is her so seeing him notice her fear and trying to comfort her is very sweet

It sounds like a war zone outside. Hes only been with me 5 weeks. I got the Virbac C.E.T. VEGGIEDENT Zen Tartar Control Chews for Dogs and hes been sleeping peacefully 😴. Now comes a major thunderstorm.

I posted a few weeks ago that we were adopting this beautiful girl. And today was the day we brought her home! I think it’s been a successful first day!

First we had a 1 hour 30 minute car journey which she handled like a champ! No issues at all. She’s had a good explore of her new home, and a run around in her garden. She’s also had her first walk which went well. A few squirrels were spotted, but not once did she try and chase (don’t worry, she was on her lead). No pulling or anything.

Right now she’s fast asleep on her bed while I chill watching TV. We are all so in love with her already! Any time we walk into the room she does a little tail wag ❤️

She seems to be settling in well. I’ve noticed she has heavy breathing while asleep, and is panting a fair bit. I’ve read about this and realise it’s probably the stress of “moving house”

But so far, so good we think!
