Hi Aimee. I'm a fan too! I think it's wonderful that you take the time to put on a little message about the Greys that you have known and lovely to hear how well they are looked after and taken to people's hearts in the kennels you work at. Mand x

Hi tinaj, I've got 4 greys with 2 cats and 6 chickens, and Ruth (the lady who runs the kennels) has got greys, chickens and ducks, so there should be no barrier. You are right it absolutely depends on the dog and Ruth and the team will make sure that you are matched with a suitable grey - best thing to do is ring to make an appointment to pop up and have a chat and see the lovely greys :0)

Thanks to everyone for the responses and advice , the dogs love the greyhound food and Ive just ordered 6 months supply as I like to keep well stocked , Cant say Ive noticed much of a difference in the Kickboxing lunatic with "startled by the world eyes" but Im sure it will be better for her health in the long term. Now, anyone any tips on how to stop a skye terrier being obsessed with chickens ? Answers on a postcard please ...

Thats reasurring . I will have to give the kennels a ring to discuss and check it wouldnt be a problem with them. I was told that some places wont home greyhounds with anyone who has chickens and small animals. Surely it depends on the individual dog. Hopefully it wont prove to be a barrier.

Thank you all for your kind comments about Bob. He was my Gentle Giant and the loss is felt by the whole family.Lush (Kirsty, as was) is going a long long way towards helping fill the gap (and the one on the sofa). She's really bonded with Guzzi, follows him everywhere, and is settling in more every day. The cat is not so sure but we're working on it. Looks like Ruth's picked us out another good 'un.

Hi tianaj! Minnie, my greyhound, is ok with our chickens. She is alright with smaller dogs too. (If they run / bounce around she can get a bit keen, but nothing that time and a bit of training can't fix. When introduced gently though she is absolutely fine with them.) She does like cats, but I think she isn't so keen on the chickens as they move very differently and don't go anywhere near as fast. I wouldn't trust her roaming with the chickens in the garden (we wouldn't trust our retrievers out there with them) but she ignores them when they are in the run and when they are right next to our french windows. 🙂 I've also taken her out on a lead and muzzle with the chickens loose and she just looked at them with her ears pricked when they ran around. The chickens (daft things that they are) came right up to me and the dog and Minnie was interested, but only mildly.

We had a lovely walk today didn't we Max? You're such a beauty, so well behaved and friendly. Although I love to see you, I hope you're not in kennels for much longer - you deserve your own, forever home. xx
