Black border, red binding. froggyintexas

Love it! I would use black I think. It will make it 'greyhound' faces pop.

Please seriously consider a grey. They make wonderful loving pets. We got our first one from the humane society and they really didn't have much info on greys. He destroyed my vertical blinds the first day I left him alone when I went to work. We got a crate and put him in that for a few days while we were gone and that solved the problem. After that I never crated him. The rest I got through the local GPA adoption group. They acclimate to a home environment very quickly. I tend to go towards the older greys since they are harder to adopt out. Most people want the young ones. If you get one that has been in a home before you shouldn't have any problems. I've had several greys over the years and they all have their own personalities just like people but they are very loving dogs. If you want more info PM me.

I had a rescue Greyhound named Digger--all black and a little chewed up (racing greyhound). But my baby and loved him so much.
Why put a border on it at all? Beautiful as it is.

Lizzie's coloring is what they call a light brindle. Over the years I've had 2 blues (grey), 2 red brindles and a black.

I must say I'm surprised by all the grey owners here. I knew there were a few but did think there would be as many. Too all of you who have adopted these wonderful furbabies, Thank you! Life in the kennel is not the greatest. There are good owners as well as bad. To all who are thinking about it, please contact your local GPA (Greyhound Pets of America) chapter and check out these wonderful animals. Anyone who would like more info about greyhounds please PM me.
