We’ve rescued 4 greyhounds and they are the only breed I would consider. They are beautiful, don’t shed or smell, almost never bark, and love you forever. 40 mph couch potatoes that never get fat. It’s also fun to get their track records and see videos of them in their glory days but we look forward to the day when the last tracks close.
We had a doberman (wonderful dogs as well), then brought home a greyhound. Those two girls were best buds, inseparable! I’d be happy with either breed. Greyhounds are great big sweeties, while the dobes have a very high opinion of themselves, but are hugely fun and loving.
