are greyhounds cuddly and affectionate dogs?

[babypink2807]

Mrs January I've just taken up walking, in preparation for my charity walk in June next year.  On a Tues and Thurs lunchtime I do 2 miles around work

Monday, weds and Saturday I average 12 - 15 miles which is hard work but my dog loves it.  I need to average 4mph and it's difficult.  My first few walks my backside and calf muscles ached but now I'm ok.  Yesterday I did 5 miles in the morning, half way I thought why am I doing this but I had to carry on otherwise I would not have got home

I use an apps called map my walk and I'm starting to get slightly addicted by tryIng to go a little bit further

Keep going Mrs January

Hope Santa brought you a pedometer for Christmas Mrs J. Good way to keep track of your steps and distances. (Once you are better!).

The long dogs [greyhounds, whippets, lurchers] can be cuddly-up-2 dogs.  Salukie/Afghan less so because they are aloof and are not reliant on returning until they are ready  .  Sight hounds often have their brains on lunch  ….. so are always looking into the distance in case the see an opportunity.

If you fancy a greyhound go along to the local rescue kennels, there are breed rescue all over the UK  ………. lots of kennels welcome regular walkers too, to give the dogs a break from routine.

I haven't done enough walking for 3 years  ……. too much afternoon TV and laziness - I admire anyone who can even consider more than 2 miles at a time  .  When I had a spaniel I walked 2 miles x 3 times a day and at weekends a lot more …...
