In about a year or two (maybe sooner it depends on when my brothers move out) my mom and I are going to move into her fiancee's house. Since he already has a dog, he said it would only be fair if me and my mom each got our own dog. She is going to get a Brussels Griffon and I am thinking about getting a retired racing greyhound. I will have to think on it a little more. Anyone know f any good sites regarding retired racers? If so I would greatly appreciate it if you would post them here. Thanks!

I have been thinking about a retired racing greyhound too, but am still waiting as I work so much currently. 3-greys, that is a great book! I have been trying to gather as much info as I can about the different dogs that I am interested in, and that was one of the first books I bought about greyhounds. I would like to get some insight from you about them though. I have 2 cats, so I'll definitely need one (or 2??) that is "catsafe". Did you adopt all 3 at the same time, or one at a time? What is the adjustment period like? Do you have stairs? Did you have to familiarize your dogs to stairs and sliding glass doors?? Any advice for the potential adoptive parent of an ex-racer? I probably won't get my dog until I move back to the midwest, because living out here and working and commuting just doesn't give me the time that I would want to spend with a dog. My husband and I are fairly certain that we will move back just for the fact that if we decide to have children, we will be able to survive on one salary back in the midwest. We can't do that out here...it takes both of our full time jobs to support our small house! So, I guess I have a lot of time to think about what kind to get, huh??
