I just noticed (not as observant as some of you) that some of you are greyhound and Italian Greyhound owners like us. I wonder how many are members here? This is a picture of our "boys" this past Christmas.

Our dogs Kane and Dewey (with our cat Toccoa).

Italian Greyhounds- here:

Mike (on chair) and Hazen:

Hazen will be 1 year old on 2/26/08 and Mike is a bit over 4 months.

Our dogs Kane and Dewey (with our cat Toccoa).

We have a cat named Cocoa to keep our IGs company. The fawn is Bailey, and he is 8 years old. The sable is Tanner and he is 7 years old. People who love IGs are the greatest people in the world.......:D:D

They haven't taken a ride in the Element yet, maybe this weekend!

PS. Mike and Hazen are so pretty!

One word of advice, don't let them drive.

They are very cute. There was an IG in Kane's obedience class. We joked that he was Kane's "mini me".

These are my girls, Willow, Maggie and Summer! :D

LOL!!!!!!, great advice. BTW, how did Kane do in obedience class? We took both of ours and umm....well, Bailey had to repeat the basic class, and Tanner needed it again:|

Bluewillow's Maggie looks a lot like out Tanner, but Tanner is a BIG boy. Our vet calls him SHAQ of iggies.

Gorgeous hounds everyone! You all know Saige and Guinny, also in the greyhound family

Kane did very well, but he has a hard time sitting due to bio-mechanics, i.e. his long legs make it difficult for him to sit. Also, both our dogs seem to get bored very quickly doing the same tricks, so they will usually walk away and go lay down. He did finish the class and he got his certificate.

Tomorrow we are hosting our first Meet & Greet at our local Petsmart. It is a chance for people to meet the greyhounds and learn about the breed. We are very excited. These events generate alot of adoptions for SEGA (Southeastern Greyhound Adoption), where we got our boys.

I asked my wife if she would consider getting an IG, and she said no, because we already have cats. I think they are cute and would be fun, provided you don't break them.:D

I have a friend in Tallahassee who had 2 wolfhounds. They are very sweet and gentle. I checked in on them once when he was out of town, and the first time I entered his house without him there I was apprehensive as to how they would react to me. They promptly showed me to all of the valuables and the fine silverware. They were great dogs.

true--not very good watch dogs. as my aunt said when she came over one day and we were out---i went into your house and the rug got up and walked away:)

I spent some time, when I had time with the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas (GALT). I would help with the Meets and Greets around the Dallas area. My husband and I would love to get a big greyhound, but we have limited space in our home ( already full of IGs and one remaining cat).

The Iggies are less fragile than they look. Give em a try!


Wolfhounder: LOVE the wolfhounds! They are beautiful!

We just rescued Ginger about 2 weeks ago, so now we have 4 :grin:

wow phenominal picture!!! should go in a calender! is there a reason so many greyhounds are in clothes besides looks. are they prone to get colds in their kidneys??

:razz: Well, if you hadn't noticed by now, they have mouse fur and no body fat so they tend to be cold most of the time. :rolleyes:

Hey, just ran across this cool thread! Can other sighthounds play?
Here are my three Ibizan Hounds, Opal, Yuza and Rubio, doin' their thing. (Hey Wolfhounder, your big ol' hairy dogs may not need 'em but our scrawny mutts sure enjoy those warm, toasty coats lol.:razz:)

Oh, ibElement, I love your Ibizen hounds! I feel in love with Bunny a few years ago when she won the American Kennel Club, Best in Show. Lovely, beautiful, wonderful dogs!

Thanks for sharing the pictures! :D

I soooo love them all.

Bluewillow - your new baby is gorgeous! I love their sweaters. Do you make them? 2 Iggies keep us hopping....I can't imagine 2 more, but at the same time...hmmmm?... okay, it could happen

IbElement - Ibizans are one of my favorite sighthounds! I think they look so intelligent! They are so beautiful. Are they couch potatoes like their greyhound cousins?

How'd I miss this thread? Awesome pics everyone, I still love the lineup of iggies on the couch. Police lineup? :rolleyes:

And the Ibizan in the air is a sight to behold! :D

Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed my little Beezer family. They're great dogs. Overall they're pretty mellow but they can be busy-bodies and avid counter surfers when your back is turned. They aren't quite as laid back as Greyhounds but they do love their couches and creature comforts :-)

Here ya go BlueWillow, all the beezer pics you could stomach :-)

Woohoo! I have a brindle Greyhound rescue. Also reside with a Border Collie/Australian Shepher Mix, a Schipperke, three cats, and a 30 year old Double Yellowhead Parrot. Are any Greyhound people, on this board, also on the GreyTalk Forum?

Go to www.greytalk.com. A terrific group of people and so much to learn.

We have an IG, Morgan! :) I'll try to post a pic of him later.

All I can say is E owners have good taste in dogs and vehicles! From the pictures I have seen, we have greyt looking hounds and splendid vehicles to convey them in.:)

I can't wait to see Morgan!!

I LOVE that this thread is open to ALL sighthounds; including the beautiful Wolfhounds, Ibizans, greyhounds, Iggies, and any others....

It's nice to know that sighthound E.ple are out there! :-D:D:grin:

I caught Kane and Toccoa sharing the sun beam together. We get our new foster grey this weekend.

Ooooooh so cute. I am going to have to find some pics of ALL of our boys together snuggled up.

I'm going tomorrow to adopt my first greyhound! I have three Catahoula mixes that are all very laid back mellow dogs so I'm hoping to add another couch potato to the pack.

I doubt the greyhound will disappoint in that area :D

those ibby hounds earlier were precious!! very stately looking

I totally forgot about this thread! :shock:

Today's pic of H&M.

I can't speak for ALL sighthounds, but my IGs are such coach potatoes...I can't imagine them any other way. They wake up and eat...go outside to do their "thing" and then back on the coach to sleep. That is pretty much their day!

Anyone wish they were a greyhound too! :oops:

IG's are the house-cat breed of canine. :)

The dog days of summer :smile: It's already in the 90s here. Our boys are living the life....

Oh they look so beautiful!

My little cuties!

My little cuties!

GORGEOUS bunch! Wow, they look so awesome sittin' there in those sweaters!

Here's today fashion pic from our neck of the woods;
Woohoo! Just in time-without these pajamas, we'd be under equipped for our camping trips!
Another great product from Pixie Dust Creations! (http://pixie-dust-creations-iglets.4t.com/)
Here are the boys sporting their new camofrogs- now all we have to do is toss 'em into our duffel bags and be off (just kiddin').

They are ready for bear country for sure!!! I love all the photos!!

Blue willow, do you make the sweaters?

Blue willow, do you make the sweaters?

No, I didn't make them. I got them from AandB Originals. The pattern looks fairly simple and I suppose if I ever actually sat down and tried, it probably would not be that hard to make :roll: I know how to crochet, but I just can't seem to finish a project :grin:

:) I understand completely! I used to crochet when I was younger and had more energy than time or money. Of course, my idea of crochet was making a blanket; straight and simple. There is NO WAY I could make something like a IGGY sweater.

Gosh, where have I been, I just happened to catch this thread while looking for something else. YES, I have Iggies! Gearing up for the Iggy 500 this weekend. I know a couple of you fellow Iggy owners are going! I am working on a few Silent auction items tonight, picking items out of those donated and getting paper typed up and finishing up signs. I am also hauling some coolers, tents and chairs up to the rescue rep near Col City to put in their trailer to take down.

Hi Patti! We wished we could go to the Iggy 500! ...maybe next year. :(

Thanks for sharing your photos! Fun stuff!

Oh My Gosh...I lOVE picture #3 of litlbabies. I recognize that look, haha.
I would love to go the the 500 sometime, but I have never heard of it. Where've I been,huh?

If it is about racing Iggies, my boys would love to sit on my lap and watch :D:D

We'll be at the 500! A bunch of us from Ohio are caravaning over together Saturday morning (Sandy, aebt, and tes from the IG Post). It's going to be a warm one, but we've got our tent packed and we're ready to go :wink:

I will post something in this thread next year for the Iggy 500, just in case anyone wants to come, there are some rules so I will post the site so you can see if it fits for everyone.

Great! I would love to hear and see about the 500!! We have family in Michigan and Illinois, so Indiana would just be a jump over.

Mrs Anthony: on Pic #3....isn't it wonderful how much Iggies love each other! Hazen looks like he's in Heaven cuddling next to Mike.

Oh yes, they absolutely love each other.

Three new albums on the boy's website- Hollywood, Santa Monica and Travel Town, if you're interested.

Wow, beautiful pictures! I gotta say, I am a sucker for the ocean. I've never seen the west coast, but can't wait to go some day. Mike and Hazen have the perfect back drop for the photo shoots. :D:D

Oh and I forgot...I love the website gallery!

Hazen & Mike are really growing up to be big boys! It amazes me that they like the ocean so much. Honestly, Bailey won't walk through a puddle...Tanner will walk through a puddle if it gets him dirty.....the dirtier the better for Tanner.

Mike doesn't really care for water either- until he smells the beach and he sees sand and he gets all giddy! Hazen only allows his feet to get wet, he don't really like to get as wet as Mike...

they are gorgeous mrs. anthony!!!!

saige enjoys the water too--she is a swamp monster

OMGoodness !!! Wolfhounder...I love the shots. I wish we had the space,place for a bigger hound. Yours are absolutely wonderful.:D:D:D

Do wolfhounds usually like water? It is so weird how our IGs would rather be forced to walk on hot steamy cement than go through a water puddle :D:D

Beautiful photos and scenery wolf!

It seems like all of our pictures are of the boys on the couch (their typical place), but I couldn't pass on sharing this one....

It is definitely the dog days of summer in Texas :D

This was couple of weeks ago. My iglets are heat seeking missiles! They love sitting in the sun.

HaHa :D

That looks very familiar. I don't know what Northern IG Eple do during the winter :confused: Your babies look very happy and content in the sun!!!!

Hazen and Mike are absolutely gorgeous. I think they are growing up to be very striking. They still look very athletic. I hate to admit it, but our boys have become couch potatoes.

:) Well, our boys are 40mph couch potatoes...just depends on the moment/day.

:D EXACTLY! I remember those days with our boys. They used to be 40 MPG couch potatoes, but they have gotten older and have slowed down to a ....near halt!! :oops::oops:

9/22/08 was Mike's first birthday! And yesterday was met a new IG at the dog park, his name was Van and he was almost 6 years old and he was about the same size as Mike- neat to see another biggy. :)

does this count My 1941 greyhound :lol::lol:

I know the lady who has Ana and I got an email earlier this year about Ana having puppies with Rubio! I also have a Sunset orange Element... and just joined this forum.

Hi Gryhoundz! By your name, you must have hounds of your own.

Hello new sighthound owners- please share photos!! NOW! :D

We just sent in our application to adopt a greyhound. Can't wait to join the hound pack!

Sorry so excited I posted twice :D

I have placed greyhounds since about 1990, so lots of hounds have been in the Element that I got Christmas Eve eve in 2003. I have absolutely no pics with hounds in it though.
Here is one of my present greyhounds. My black-with-white one is Athena, who I got as a puppy 5 years ago. My blue-with-white one is Rabbit (Tyville Reb), who I got last Oct. directly from an owner at the Dairyland Track (raced that afternoon and dropped off in town same day).
Here is a link to Rabbit's record:
http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?d=tyville+reb&sex=&color=&birthyear=&birthland=

I was going to post pics, but don't have any on a website that I can fetch. Will have to do so on another day.

Figured out how to post -- hope it works now...

Goofcat - Once you look into the soft eyes of a greyhound, you are forever lost in them. I am very excited for you and can't wait to see the pics of your baby!

Gryhoundz - BEAUTIFUL!!

Oh my! What did your dogs do to your backyard!!! :-o




Goofy

Anxiously awaiting my greyhound adoption.

Oh my! What did your dogs do to your backyard!!! :-o


Deceptively destructive lil' b@stards, aren't they? :rolleyes: :lol:

Deceptively destructive lil' b@stards, aren't they? :rolleyes: :lol:

Oh, that's not MY backyard...well, at one point it was...but it's my Aunt/Cousin's home. My cousin grew up riding dirt bikes and BMX bikes, and being his parents owned land and a bunch of fancy toys(tractors, etc) he quickly learned how to make jumps/tracks.

Somehow through all of his biking he (my cousin) has met all sorts of famous people. His jumps have been made famous for being in the first 'Jack@ss' movie, Vans commericials/advertisements and other things like that. He has had all sorts of kool things happen there.

When I lived there, I didn't have my dogs. When I visited my aunt the other day, we were all hanging out front the house and I started thinking about what the boys (my IG's) would do with the jumps (and what I could do using them as photo props)...and tada!

Mike really liked them- he was running up them and nearly pulling off my husbands' arm in the process, as the leash wasn't long enough- inevitably, my husband got a workout. :P

My greyhounds in the E
(trying to send pics again)

:D Greyt looking dawgs! What a comfy bEd!

It looks like the Element calmed them right down. They look like real sweet hearts! I still need to get some pictures of my boys in the E. I guess I am kind of like the plumbers wife...I'm married to a professional photographer and never have a camera handy :rolleyes:

They are always excited to go for a ride in the car, of course. Actually, Rabbit (the blue one) was smiling when I said "Smile".

goofcat - any word yet on getting your hound?

Thanks for asking. I put in an application over a week ago, someone finally contacted me. I'll know more after I speak to them today. Waiting that week was not fun!

I'll post pics whenever the adoption happens.

The waiting is worth it. Be prepared for a greyhound lifelong commitment of service. These hounds are very special. Most of the rescue greyhounds have already given a lifetime of service and deserve a cushy couch for the rest of their lives (except for the fun walks and such). :D

Guinness loving the E

I love the picture of Guinness and I am SO happy he is doing okay. the E. looks like it was made for him.

thank you Jet!!!!!!! i have to say the door configuration has been perfect for transporting Guinness in and out--i just can't imagine how difficult it would be to haul him up in any other type of vehicle. the Element sure comes in handy for this time in our lives.

You must be really muscular and fit at this point. Even though, you can tell that Guinness is content to be where he is...I just want to give him a big squeeze hug! I can't imagine a better vehicle for taking care of all kinds of things 'we' need.

I just thought, gee I should post a picture about my new foster Radar!

HEAR (lol) he is, ears and all...

[QUOTE=Goofy

Litlbabies, great name! Good luck with the guy and I hope the rest of the pups is doing good. :)

haha! I love the snaggle tooth. The ears and the snaggle tooth make Radar a classic! :D

He is available for adoption with Italian Greyhound Rescue, but he need to settle down a bit and get fixed. He may be available in about a month!

IGs are quite a bit smaller than the Greyts. There run anywhere from 6lbs on the small side and 20 lbs as biggie iggies.

All my Iglets are doing well, jea!

And yes those ears are quite ridiculous!

Wow, I am so tempted to take Radar! For so many reasons (we don't discuss the details in front of "our boys", they would get a complex) Radar would fit in perfect. They would be a wonderful trio. Ohio is a long way from Texas :confused:

Sorry Haven't posted for a while...here's another...

and well, Radar seems to have more problems than just big ears. He is going in Monday for an EKG and chest xrays. It is possibly a big issue.

It's been awhile since I have been here. How is Radar?:|

It's been awhile since I have been here. How is Radar?:|

Cute and active as ever. I call Purdue today to get his appointment set up for February.
I actually have a foster that came back into rescue after he ended up in liver failure because he was depressed and stopped eating. Levi is his name. He is on medication now but the first 2-3 days I had him I was afraid he was going to die.
I have a full house!

Heres a picture of my 3 headed dog (from left to right) Radar, Levi, and Nicky.
And a picture of Levi and Radars ears.

So sweet. :)

How's everyone doing...I keep forgetting to check the EOC forums...:rolleyes:

Went to an IG meet this morning- here is an album full of fun. :) Enjoy!

Central Bark- Irvine Dog Park IG Meet (http://www.imnotawhippet.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5068)

I can't believe I just found this thread. My wife and I have/are owned by an iggy named Einstein. He was a rescue from a home that loved him but did not have time for him. He was in a crate 12-16 hours a day. Now he is on the sofa or the bed 22-24 hours a day when he's not obsessively squeaking one of his many squeaker toys.

I actually bought my Honda so I could haul my Greyhound around. I only had him for about a year - some changes in my working habits / requirements forced me to find him a new home. Upgrade for him though...they had other greyhounds and a much bigger yard!! Previously I had a Ford ranger with a topper and a rigged up electric heater. The Element, dog or no dog, is so much handier!!

I'd love to see more pics of Einstein!

I have a bunch of pictures of him on my Flickr page amongst my other images. www.flickr.com/photos/gtkurtz

I was looking through my other hard drive and came across a picture of Einstein after we first got him. He was underweight for an iggy. At the same time he was laying in a very similar position in a very similar sunspot at our new place, so I snapped a picture of him to show a side by side of how he looked then and how he is now. Enjoy.

- Edit -

Threw in a pic of him riding in the backseat of Tungsten (the E) after a long weekend at his grandparents house.

Cute! I love Iggies in Sunspots!

I love the pics......keep 'em coming. I must admit that I am probably the worst about posting photos of my boys. My husband is a professional photographer, but I am useless with a camera. :-P:-P

I admire all of you who can make art!

Just adding to the list, we have a Red Fawn greyhound who loves his element.

He can jump into the back without the tail gate being lowered.

Welcome, goofcat- we so need photos. :)

I love the pics......keep 'em coming. I must admit that I am probably the worst about posting photos of my boys. My husband is a professional photographer, but I am useless with a camera. :-P:-P

I admire all of you who can make art!

Your husband wouldn't want to donate an old camera to an up and coming photographer, would he? :D:grin: My old (circa 1985) Pentax finally died last month.

This thread has been idle for a bit too long, so I figured I'd post another pic of E(instein) in his E.

Kool. :) Yours or someone elses?

...someone elses, we had about 300 greyhounds in town for a meet. Normally, in pre economic downturn times, we would have had about 400.

Cute and active as ever. I call Purdue today to get his appointment set up for February.
I actually have a foster that came back into rescue after he ended up in liver failure because he was depressed and stopped eating. Levi is his name. He is on medication now but the first 2-3 days I had him I was afraid he was going to die.
I have a full house!

Heres a picture of my 3 headed dog (from left to right) Radar, Levi, and Nicky.
And a picture of Levi and Radars ears.

Radar and Levi have found a home together!
Radar's heart issue is a non-issue per the cardiologist at Purdue, and Levi is 3lbs heavier and blood work looks great! They move out at the end of March! There are ones ready to take their place....NEXT!...

These are my dogs...The only Greyhound is a rescued racer, the brown one is a Treeing Cur, and the other one is my husband. ;-)
The grey likes to be the boss of all of them.

Introducing Olivia...
She is absolutely perfect and I have only had her for about 3 hours now.

I have been idle for a bit too long and just checked back in with the forum....
I love the new pics from everyone!

Don't you hate it when your equipment dies? I know my husband would be happy to donate a camera, and buy himself a new one!:lol::lol: But, then again, he is a dreamer!

Wow, I love this thread! Its so cool seeing such a mix of hounds!
Caramel the Silken Windhound is patiently waiting for an E of her very own. She does okay with the echo but it gets a little tight when her big bro Indy (the 90lb lab/husky) and her auntie Lucy (greyhound/dobie mix) all get in too, which is at least 5 days a week!

She is a sweetiE. We would not mind more pictures of her in the dog picture thread. Hope Caramel gets her own E very soon and then we will need more pictures ;-) :)

Pretty Caramel!

I don't know why I forget about this thread! I need to post some pics.
