Thanks all, especially Carrie for the great advice. Bebe (said Bee Bee - the name she would initially respond to, strange I know???!!!) our white and brindle greyhound is absolutely brilliant. We have had her now for about 2 months and we are just have in adjust to this breed as one member put it " a cat in a dogs coat". We have lived with Border Collies in the past and so the difference between the breeds character takes a lot of getting used to! If I can ask another question related to this - we have tried getting on the floor with her to play but she raises her hackles along her spine which is different from the ones she raises if she gets bothered by other dogs. I don't think it is aggression but I'm not sure what to make of it.

We will try to get photos of her on the site soon (once we figure out how to do it!) but as yet we haven't managed to capture the famous Greyhound smile!
