He enjoys playing with toys and his siblings but can become feisty if he is ganged up on. Freddie has shown some prey drive toward our chickens, and as a sighthound he will need to be trained with a very reliable ‘leave-it’ command. Freddie can be a little reserved at tomes and somewhat cautious of new things, adopters interested in Freddie should continue to socialize him to new things and people to ensure he continues to gain confidence . Freddie has been social with the other dogs in his foster home but has not met any cats. Know Your Breed: Greyhound / Saluki Mix Puppies What You Should Know Before Adopting These puppies are a 50/50 mix of Saluki and Greyhound, two ancient sighthound breeds bred for speed, stamina, and keen vision. Their parents come from active hunting lines and were used to hunt rabbits. While they are currently sweet, social, and doing well in foster homes—including with cats—it’s important to understand how these breeds may develop as they grow Breed Background • Greyhound: Known for their gentle, calm demeanor at home. They are fast sprinters (up to 45 mph), bred to chase small game by sight. • Saluki: Independent, sensitive, and very athletic. Also sighthounds, Salukis have been used for thousands of years to chase prey over long distances. Key Characteristics • Prey Drive: These breeds are built to chase. While the puppies may be cat-safe now, their instinct to chase small animals can increase with age. They may not be reliable with cats, rabbits, or small dogs in the future. • Athleticism: They’ll need regular opportunities to run in a secure, fenced area—leash walks alone often aren’t enough. • Sensitivity: Both breeds can be emotionally sensitive. They respond best to gentle training and can be easily startled by harsh voices or chaotic environments. • Escape Artists: These dogs can be very agile and are known to jump fences or slip out of harnesses if something catches their attention. • Not Ideal for Off-Leash Play: Unless in a fully enclosed space, these dogs can take off in pursuit of something they see and may not come back when called. Home Environment • Yard Safety: A tall, secure fence is recommended. Electronic fences are not effective for most sighthounds. • Exercise Needs: Daily exercise is essential. They thrive with sprints and exploration time. • Socialization: Early exposure to a variety of environments, people, and animals is helpful, but adopters should be cautious with small pets as the puppies mature. Play Style & Compatibility with Other Dogs These puppies have a delicate, fine-boned build, especially compared to stockier breeds like pit bulls, labs, or shepherd mixes. While they may enjoy playing with other dogs, they’re not physically built for roughhousing. • High-impact play, like body slamming or wrestling, can result in accidental injuries, even if all dogs involved are friendly. • Sighthounds tend to have a chase-and-tag style of play and can be overwhelmed or physically overmatched by dogs that play more physically. • For homes with larger, more boisterous dogs, careful supervision and structured introductions are key. • These dogs may be happiest with gentle, similarly sized companions or dogs who naturally engage in more low-impact or parallel play. In Summary These puppies are incredibly smart, elegant, and loyal—but they are not for everyone. They do best with adopters who: • Have sighthound experience or are eager to learn. • Are committed to safe containment and controlled exercise. • Understand that early behavior with cats or small animals may change as the dog matures. • Can offer gentle training, consistent structure, and enrichment.
