He has been taking them for years.
They are big dogs remember Sludge. Which I know you know but it's only when you stand beside one you notice. They are amazing creatures and if you were to get one you would be repaid many, many times over for your efforts. Good in Family's usually as well, cause I asked him about this too. It's like any rescue dog that you don't get as a pup you never really know but I would say 99% are brill which is a higher percentage than can be said of humans in my experience. Good luck mate.
I have got a smashed up ankle so a dog that needs long walks is out for me , greyhound trust say twenty five minutes a day is fine and they are very chilled , looking at whippets too if not it will be a small cross breed rescue dog from RSPCAQuote:

That sound's dodgy but I can't explain it any better. Sludge you will be in you're element mate. Always a dog ready to be rescued and give you everything they have got in return. If you got the time then you are in there mate. Plus they can't complain to you about you're taste in music.:biggrin: Hope it works for you :thumbup:
Had a rescue greyhound a while back, lovely animal. Great nature and a bit dim, don't need lots of exercise but need to be on a lead at all times when out as they have the urge to chase small furry things and can disappear from view very quickly.
The one I had was terrified of thunder but apart from that she made a really nice pet.
Forgot to mention that they can have teeth issues due to being fed a lot of soft slop type food.
Cockapoo's are the best. Actual teddybears
Cheers mate , metal rulesQuote:

Things you need to consider.Quote:

Do you think it’s fair on the dog to bring it into such an environment?

We have a Cockapoo. What lovely dogs they are. So loving and loyal.Quote:

beautiful anumals, loyal and great company. They're usually a tad smaller than a full grayhound which is a plus, as they really are tall animals. They can sometimes be as small as a whippet and can be short or long haired. But whatever, they have great personalities.
I'd have a lurcher any time.
He used to do both.Quote:
