FastDogz 155 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Looking for a new lifelong pal after loosing my beloved Grey last Sunday...Was going to get another Greyhound but somehow it dosnt seem right..I am now starting to think there too delicate and hurt too easy and then its too much pain if you loose them young Not only that i wudnt mind something i have a bit of fun with throw a ball for ect maybe take for a bit of a run without fear that its going to get hurt - Was going to look into getting a lurcher pup to do a few daytime bunnys with but i dont drive (which would also be a problem distace wise when choosing a new dog) and wudnt be able to get to any land that often and thus wudnt be able to train any pup properly or do it justice as a working home...Maybe now and again when i go back to yorkshire i could take it on my friends land but this isnt enough it would only be once a month if that ( so a seasoned worker that just wants to hunt as and when for fun maybe ok) I do live in a flat and have no fenced garden but as you know me and Razor (my grey) didnt suffer in anyway from this - we have the beach for daily runs and any wee/poo breaks have always been taken on leash. I am just looking for a friend who i can have some fun with..nothing seriouse no world beater - not even bothered if it wasnt a working dog and just a family pet...anyone got any ideas?Know of anything looking for a lifelong loving home? Just to add dog will be housed indoors have run of the place - human beds sofas ect Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyho 181 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 if you live in a flat i wouldnt have a dog at all, but if your addement that you want a dog go to the local pound and get a little terrier or somthing small, you can have just as much fun throwing balls for little dogs if thats what you want to do.

FastDogz 155 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Well ive lived in a flat most of my life and always had a dog (mainly big ones) - all have been happy cared for and healthy and have always come first just cos i dont have a garden does not mean by any strech my dogs get less love and care than someone who does (to be honest they prob get more) Unfortuantly we dont all have money to splash out on houses with big yards where we can have kennels and things - some of us simply dont want houses with yards where we can have kennels...some of us are happier with finer things in life. But what i do have and what i can give is a f*****g good home to a dog with a lot of love and in my own humble opinion thats whats more important that anything else. Cheers for your concern but belive me its sraight over my head pal ...end of the day you dont know me so please id ask you not to judge me cheers Edited August 1, 2007 by FastDogz Link to post Share on other sites

FastDogz 155 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 To be honest TallyHo i have thought about a rescue center but i have found them to be well judgemental...u phone them up ask about a dog "Do u own a house with a garden,do you have a 6 foot fence" "Nope sorry but i can offer...." and it makes no bones with them Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyho 181 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 why not try looking at other rescue centers, that deal with just one breed of dogs see how you get on with them. Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few contacts in the Greyhound rescue world and i know i would get one with ease of these but i havnt really got a paticular breed in mind any dogs i get offered will all be considered on there own merit like...Head says something with a bit of chunk about it that i can have laugh with without bfear of it breaking but my heart says a greyhound again I just dont know....
