They do! I ran into a bunch of them at Borders of all places, just before
Christmas. They were doing gift-wrapping as a fund raiser, and had brought
several dogs as kind of an informational thing. The people said that
although they love to go out for walks and runs, they are very quiet in the
house, just tend to move around wherever you are... kind of lay around at
your feet.
Sounded like my kind of dog. I live with a couple of labs now, not mine but
I care for them and have become very attached. But I could *really* do
without so much roughhousing and particularly the chewing on everything (and
these aren't puppies). I came home Monday night to find my wooden-handled
hairbrush chewed to bits, and still haven't been able to break them of
stealing automatic pencils from my desk and chewing them up. You would think
I didn't have so many nylabones, real bones, and chew toys around here I
can't walk for tripping over them.
Anyway, I fell in love with the greyhounds. When I hopefully move somewhere
with a fenced yard, I'm going to try to get a rescue greyhound. I think it'd
be a good fit, and easier on my kitties.
