Thanks so much, you have no idea how helpful this will be for me.

I thought of one more question... has anyone ever brought a dog from a really warm climate to a really cold climate? The dog that sparked my intrest is from a track in florida, I'm starting to wonder how she might cope with the -30F temperatures in winter. I've heard stories from areias of Romeo being cold at +40F. And he'd have a thicker coat than a greyhound would. Of course, I'd buy her a coat, but would her legs and such get cold?

In her profile it says : "She walks well on lead and eats like a champ but isn't so sure about that cold white stuff that falls outside." Would this mean she'd be terrified the first snowfall?

Thanks
