See that little thing in the "That was then this is now" thread. Well here she is with one of my dogs (another reason we can't release her)

Oh...that is absolutely precious! That dog looks like he is completely intimidated by the boss. ....on his head.

I'd say greyhound or whippet (can't tell the size of the dog from the pic).

What is the breed of your dog pmg360? I'm currently dying of curiosity (which wasn't that great for the cat....).

[Pigeonpal2002]

I agree with Jen, either a greyhound or a whippet. In any case, that picture is PRICELESS!!!! LOL. Somehow, I missed this post entirely today but I agree with Terry...this pic is one that should be entered into the photo contest for SURE!


GREAT picture of two adorable critters

[pgm860]

That is Rufus, a 13 year old retired racing greyhound.

OK, I tracked down the doggie pic, what a wonderful pic, total contest material you have there, pgm. They are such characters, and it seems that they enjoy a loving home where they are allowed to develop those personalities as well. Their eyes are so expressive.

Tell us about Rufus and the little Road Runner. Not Brad, your bird.

Great Photo Shot! I think that Rufus is fine with this. Greyhounds just have that look.

Rufus is 13 years old and lives with a bunch of other greyhounds, italian greyhounds, birds and of course the pigeon. He's severely epileptic (cluster seizures) and is on meds to control that. He's got to be the sweetest, most laid back dog I've ever had. For birds I have the following (all rescued), a moustached parrot, a Jardine's Parrot, a blue crowned conure, couple of bugies, a canary, and about 30 finches of various types (society, spice, silver beaks). The pigeons (natasha) story is in the thread "That was then, this is now"

At the Pet Expo a few years ago, our rescued rabbit exibit was right next to the rescued Greyhounds. I feel in love with them. I always thought they were hyper dogs. I was so wrong...they were so laid back.

Both of your friends in the picture above are beautiful.

Best Wishes,
Feather

Awwh! That photo is absolutely gorgeous!! I Love it!! What a cute pair you have there. I always thought greyhounds would be the type of dog that would go for small critters. How very wrong! I love greyhounds and whippets. I've always thought, if I get a dog in the future, it would be a rescue of one of these breeds as there seems to be a lot of them needing rehomed.

Well, greyhounds are sight hounds, as are whippets. Breeders will tell you to be watchful of their reactions to small animals. Any rapid movement can cause an attack on the small animal. It's just natural for a sighthound to react this way, unless well trained. I have a whippet, a four year old, who leaves the cats alone, and runs and hides when Ping the pigeon is out loose. As good as Fred is, I never leave Ping out with him without supervision.
