general greyhound info

I'm thinking about adopting a greyhound because I think they are really neat & I want to save one from being put to sleep. I'm trying to find out a couple of things--Do they shed? I don't want to sound picky, but I had a Norwegian Elkhound & I had to vaccum every day. I loved her very much but now that she's gone, I don't want to go through that again. And I have 2 children ages 6 & 9. Will he get along well with my children?

i have rescued 2 retired racers. as a groomer i get a lot of people that come to me wanting advice on picking a breed for there lifestyle. i recommend greys to anyone who is interested in large breeds. as far as gooming is concerned this is a spit shine dog! the do shed but its nothing like your last dog. it's almost unnoticable. they also dont have the typical dog odor as they have very little oil in their coat. they sleep about 12 to 18 hours a day and require only a good sprint around a fully fenced yard. the rescue group will help you select a dog that is good with well mannered children and any other household pets. i myself will never live life without one in my home! good luck!
