Honestly, I have no idea. Never had one before, but he came across like a dog that had been abused in the kennels and when he came to us.

I had one! Border collie / greyhound mix. They’re smart, high energy, and explode when they’re excited so they do get into trouble with people who can’t keep up with a gotta-go-fast dog that’s smarter than they are. Same with other herding dogs and the maligators. They need the right people!

I love love love having a dog that’s smarter than I am and needs to be kept busy, but a whole lot of these babies end up abused or in shelters because people don’t know what they’re in for. :(

Historically bred by poachers in the UK to be silent hunters, and companions. Not a “breed” per se, but a mix of sight hounds. I’m sorry yours was abused before you got him.

He had a rough old time straying until he was hit by a car, then was in a rescue place for months. He’s been with us over 3 years now and is the gentlest cuddler.
