Cat Bruce, there are four items that are rarely related to the new owners. These are not major problems and not all greys do them, but they can be a surprise for the new owner.
1) Teeth chattering - this does not mean the dog is cold. Check the ears if they are not cold, it is likely that the dog is just after attention or food. 2) Groaning when the ears are rubbed. No the dog is not growling - it simply means "Oh, this feels so good". My father, who is not a greyhound owner but has a Boston Terrier, when he rubbed one of my greys ears and they started the groan jumped back thinking it was a growl. I informed him otherwise and now he doesn't panick when he hears the sound. 3) Teeth clacking - my first greyhound would jump up and clack his teeth when I first came home from work. Luckily, I was warned about this. It can be scary to see teeth clacking in front of your face. It was Magic's way of saying - "I am so happy your home! I missed you so much". 4) Fainting in the bathtub - Many grey owners have witnessed this. Luckily none of my dogs do this but I have heard of it happening to others. There are a number of different theories about why this happens, from the water being to warm to the dogs relaxing so much that they collapse. The new owner needs to be made aware to keep the dogs head out of the water and they will recover. Hope this helps. Good luck with the DVD. Rebecca with the Greyhound ------------------------ Yahoo!
