my puppy dogs!

DO A LOT OF RESEARCH! They are best in pairs, They are IMPOSSIBLE to house break. Most will not go outside in bad weather. I love mine to pieces but they are very frustrating, especially the house breaking. We can be outside on a windy day for a half hour and then come inside and they will poop in the floor. It just kills me! So it is something to really think about before getting them. If you do not get yours from a rescue group find a reputable breeder. Ask to see the breeding facilities, the breeding stock and ask for references. I got mine from a wonderful breeder in Missouri (she is no longer breeding the Italian Greyhounds). She was wonderful and my dogs are very sound and healthy. I have seen IG's that are frail and twiggy. They make me nervous because their little bones look like they will snap in half. Monte and Margo are very well built with substantial legs. They are cool little dogs that will love you until the day they die not matter what!

Here is another photo of them.

Adam, I just love your pics of your dogs. They are such beauties!!

I have 6 dogs myself (none are greyhounds though) and life would not be complete without a canine companion.

adam, what cute babies you have! i have a whippet/collie mix. (odd i know!!) at least that's what the vet can come up with. he and his brothers were found abandoned as babies off a rural highway in SE Kentucky. when i adopted him from the pound they said he was a jack russell mix. Not quite!

its funny that you mentioned the not wanting to go outside thing. hunter will NOT go out if its storming, cold, too windy, etc. if its thinking about storming, i have to drag him out. at least once he's out, he does know that he'd better do #1 or #2 or mommy will not be letting him back in.

thanks so much for sharing your photos!!

That is funny I am glad I am not the only one with weather issues. I stand in the yard in the rain and sound like a broken record. GO POTTY, GO POTTY, GO POTTY... They just look at me shivering. After a little while they either potty or I give up and clean up their mess in the house.

I see that you have New Hampshires. Where did you get them and what do you think about them. I have 1 girl coming from Murray and I was curious about them.

i got my NHs from Mt Healthy in Cincinnati. funny name for a hatchery but seems to be true they are *very* healthy birds, i didn't lose a single one. (they came may of 2007). (praying i didn't just jinx myself too!!) they are gorgeous and pretty much lay an egg a day for me. though now that its winter they have slowed down quite a bit. they are not really sit in your lap kind of birds, i have some that like to be petted but mostly they prefer not to be touched. they do follow me around though. all 27 of them.

good luck with yours! hope she's nice.
