Was chatting to the OH the other day about the future, and having a dog came up. This won't be for a few years, at least, as we won't have a garden until we look into getting our own house, and we both (currently) are out between 8.30-5.30, but it got me wondering. One of the directors at work has a greyhound, and she often spends the day keeping us company, and it just got me wondering what they're like, really. I've known a few, and they've all been very sweet and fairly placid dogs. My lurcher was probably the nicest dog I've known.
OH isn't hugely fond of bouncy and super-high energy; he finds my lab a bit much to deal with, truthfully, as though she's quite well trained, she's still very young and high energy. Don't mind a big dog in the slightest, and quite happy to go walking for hours.
Basically, what are they like to own, and what sort of home would they suit?
We'd probably be looking at taking one on from a rescue, so also interested in anything that might be likely to pop up with a rescue?
I know it's a way in the future, but I like time to mull things over.
