Additional Details:

Truman is a gorgeous AKC show bred greyhound and is not from racing greyhound bloodlines. He was bred for the show ring and is just a stunningly gorgeous guy. We don't get many show dogs to place so Truman is very unique. He didn't end up having the exact look needed to be a champion show dog, so his owner decided to let us place him in a pet home. He is a very big guy that weighs 90+ lbs. Truman has an excellent personality, very happy, very outgoing and friendly. He loves everyone he meets, so much that he may try to get into your lap. He loves attention and loves his toys. He is up to date on all vaccines and ready to be placed. He has lived with and likes small dogs, but being a playful puppy, he just wants to play with them and is really too big to play with tiny dogs. Since he is such a playful big boy, he would do better with medium to large dogs that would enjoy playing with him. Truman has seen barn cats at his home from a distance and gets very excited when seeing them, so we don't think he will be able to live in a home with kitties. Truman is still a young, one year old guy, so needs a fenced yard where he can run, and he will need lots of exercise. Young greyhounds are not like the calm, retired greyhounds we are used to. Truman has been living in a home so he is home acclimated, but being a pup he still needs frequent reminders on manners. He can be a thief, stealing things off tables and counters. Truman hasn't been around kids but loves everyone, so probably would be OK with older kids. He is so playful he could accidentally knock down a toddler. He is no wallflower, very exuberant and happy. If you want a playful, fun, very loving dog, Truman is your guy. He will absolutely love you forever and be your best friend.
