(UPDATE)
My mom is pretty sure she found the perfect pup. I'm surprised, as it's a 5 yr old saluki mix. I really thought she'd only want a puppy/poodle. He is such a sweety. Very laid back and calm, but also playful. He seemed ok with cats too. She's really excited and has him on hold until tomorrow...but she's pretty sure she wants him. I told her to think about it tonight and decide tomorrow for sure.
Here is his pic! He's got short hair...but you can really see the Saluki in his body esp. I'll keep you updated.
His "pound" name is Winston, but my mom wants to change it. He's a stray and doesn't know his name anyway. Any ideas? I was thinking something that would describe the breed or something that goes well with the breed might be nice...

I think what my mom has in mind for a dog is going to be hard for her to find. I wanted to give her some other ideas for a dog she might like.
She'd prefer something that doesn't shed much. She'd like a dog that will bark at night if someone is near the house or make her feel safe. She also has a cat and is concerned for her safety. She wants a puppy. And not a really big dog. Something trainable as well...
She was thinking about a Miniature Poodle or something...But she doesn't want to spend the money on a purebred lol..
I suggested she find an older dog from the Humane Society that is already sorta trained and that she knows will like cats?? I figure a puppy will try and play with her cat and her cat will not be happy. (she really doesn't want to upset her cat) I figure she could find a mediumish sized dog there so she'd feel safe, but it wouldn't be too big for her either. She's pretty set on a puppy though...
What do you think? The HS almost always only has shepherds/lab/collie mixes which she doesn't seem interested in...
