Be rude all you want. I didn't think it wise perse, but unavoidable. I had lost my last little, (lost three in the span of 8 months due to old age) and didn't want the greyhounds to be without a little. I didn't want them to forget that a small dog is part of the pack. I had tried rescues, pounds, and even breeders. After 4 months of looking and trying, I had to give up. Would you have had another suggestion?

I live in a town of about 6000. I had to drive 3 hours one way in order to even find one. Would I do it again? For Max? Yep.

And also just to clarify: There is a HUGE difference between working with retired racers and puppy mills. justsoyaknow
