Congratulations

Is she a Greyhound? Don't forget the photos!

sorry I forgot..yes she is a greyhound..Black and white i think, she had her coat on and I only noticed her baldy bum!!! oh and her feet

As soon as you said "baldy bottom"..I knew she was a greyhound!!!
How wonderful and congratulations on your new baby!!! And welcome to the ranks of greyhound owners! They're such beautiful dogs. Can't wait to see the photos!! I'm salivating aleady!! xxxxxx

Ooh, how exciting, hope the week goes quickly and looking forward to baldy bum pics!

Sorry if this sounds silly but I do not know anything about greyhounds. Why the baldy bottom?

this is from their previous life as racing hounds due to lying on conrete floors in their kennels. maybe not cleaned as well as they could be..I believe there is a baldy bum copetition to be won as well!!!!!

Ouch. But at least now I know!

Oh I thought she was a Baboon when you said she had a baldy bum!

Hope she settles in with you and you enjoy your new dog.

Looking forward to photo's of new girl, bet you can't wait till sunday.

I know this is probably just what you've been told, but the reasons behind the hair loss are not yet fully understood, a study was done a few years ago, but dunno what conclusion they came to if any. US hounds also get bald thighs and they are crated. My greyhound Hattie came home with fuzzy thighs and since she's shed her thick coat she's now sporting a baldy bum & belly look and spends most of the time on the sofa.
