My Greyhounds would want to eat him I think. I think he's gorgeous.
We let our foster off today for only the second time and he went for another dog :( luckily I grabbed him quick and he had a muzzle on. The other dog was non-plused. Gutted. He was doing so well with his recall. He's such a confused dog.
Then on this evenings walk we got chased by a Victorian Bulldog - it's been a day for it :(
Oh no! More practice needed... I remember that so much from when I was fostering Duke O'lurcher my big Irish boy, the worry: you want to let them get offlead time and practice, but can't let them use other dogs for target practice. And sighthound target practice is so FAST. Well done for having a muzzle on: I made that mistake once, won't be doing it again. Sighthound fosters wear muzzles offlead till I am REALLY sure!
Strangely Mollydog has never shown any desire to do that, she is a racer, not a hunter...
Duke is doing really well now, has mostly got the other-dog thing down. Fingers crossed your foster will get there too!
Victorian Bulldog! Now there's a chunky lump of dog to be chased by!
I only foster Lurchers but this one is very very confused. He bares his teeth when he plays. He's all over the place. But he's a cutie. I won't do owt without a muzzle now. Just to be sure. He barked at some horses today. He just seems like a scared little pup. It was a weird dog to attack her seemed so calm and passive.
My own Lurcher Penny (see icon)we had from 9 months and she was wonderful. She might chase but that's all.
My greyhounds can't go off lead :( and have to always be muzzled :( hence why they were still in re-homing kennels at 8. The people in my village must think I am mental or a very bad dog owner.
Yeah I think he just wanted to make friends. Willow (the foster) went nuts but he only seemed interested in Sal.
That's interesting - I found that Duke was actually worst with calm, well behaved dogs, he seemed to take their good behaviour as a sign that he could bully them, whereas if they greeted him with a snarl and posturing he'd back down and be fine. As you say, confused!
I remember I met a pair of tiny dachshunds once who had the measure of him, he tried to rush them and they stood up on their hind legs like little serpents and went RAR! And he backed down and sniffed bums like a lamb. Strange dog.

(LOL, yes, I don't think foster is very houndy, my two keep looking down their noses at him as if to say YOU ARE VERY SHORT)
