Joey is gorgeous Whitewave!!
Could you tell me a bit about greyhound puppies? Anything that stands out with them?
ETA: If you don't mind me asking on your thread SillySally!
Greyhounds puppies are fun. They are active and playful. My Boston Terrier Jack was my saving grace when they were tiny. He played with both Riddick and Joey 24/7.
I never crated either puppy. They were given free reign pretty much from the get go. Riddick was 7 weeks old and Joey was 8 weeks old when I got them. Both NGA (racing) lines Riddick had on accident. Joey had a few, but both were quick to housetrain. They followed what the other dogs did. Riddick used a doggie door, but I had to take it out after someone stole my French Bulldog.
Riddick never chewed anything. Joey chewed the corner of the couch, but he did so while I was home and in the same room and didn't even notice. They were good to play with their toys.
They are sweet, goofy, silly pups, a bit devilish at times, but what puppy isn't.
I have raised Dobermans, Dogo, pit bulls, Great Danes, Italian Greyhounds, Min Pins, and mix breed pups and Greyhounds will always be my favorite. I would take another in a heartbeat.
Joey learned sit and down in his foster home before I got him and I picked him up the day after he turned 8 weeks. He never forgot either even when I didn't use the commands for weeks after getting him.
Greyhounds themselves are naturally well mannered and easy house companions. They do tend to be velcro, at least my boys have been. You do not do anything without them. They are bed hogs too. A 75lb hound can take up an entire king size bed.
I lost Riddick at 10 months, he had cardiomyopathy and dropped dead running across the yard.
Joey just turned 13 months. He has 2 brothers who will be racers and I hope to adopt one or both when they retire. His 1/2 sister is racing at Derby Lane she is adorable, but she is doing very well running. The fastest dog there right now!
