All Smiles, All the Time....



How many dogs do you have?  You probably need one more!  Raider is not your "typical" greyhound.  He doesn't know how to be stoic or particularly aloof.  He's a bit of a labrador at heart---even having never met you, he would run up to ask for a scritch and lick your face.  His tail never stops wagging (and there is a bandage currently on the end to prove it).  He loves every dog he meets, and miraculously, he noticed the cat but completely ignores her--he hasn't even tried to catch a sniff.

Raider is quickly adapting to home life and definitely loves every moment.  He has started to choose toys from the toybox, and he loves to lay in whichever room that the family is hanging out.  He does some zoomies around the yard, and when he walks on the leash he naturally falls into the "heel" position without being prompted.  He has just about mastered stairs, and apart from a bit of whining when we leave, he is crating wonderfully.

If you or your kids have always wanted that greyhound that was a little more outgoing and loving that most that you meet, this is definitely your guy.  He would do well with other hounds, but since he loves the company of people so much, he would also fit well as a first or only hound.
