Oh, and i agree with the grooming advice. Brush and comb her as often as possible, preferably a few times a week. You need to make sure you are brushing the whole coat all the way down to the skin and not just the top coat. You should be able to part the hair and see the skin She is going to have a lot of coat to take care of. You'll need at least a good slicker brush and greyhound comb. Other tools i recommend are a long pin undercoat rake, a long pin pin brush (love the chris christensan ones), mat breaker, and a conditioning/detangling spray (Ice on Ice, The Stuff, Quicker Slicker, etc) to spray on before brushing and demating. Handle her feet, nails, ears, mouth, tail, etc... as often as possible so other people are able to touch them when necessary. I also recommend taking her to a professional groomer once a month as soon as she has all her shots. I say this because there are MANY groomers that will refuse to do chows. So i suggest finding a good one while she is a baby. Stay with that one groomer and go once a month so the groomer is able to build a working relationship with the pup and the pup will allow the groomer to do anything that needs to be done without a fuss
