Hi Renessa, We own a young, female greyhound/husky mix and she is our ferret's best friend. Jenna was ours (an adoptee from the local pound) for over a year before we got our ferret, and we were very nervous about letting them meet due to her breeds. Everyone told me that huskies were horrible with small animals and that greyhounds just wanted to chase them. Once Riley had grown out of the tiny kit stage and we had seen Jenna show only gentle curiousity in him, we let them play together and they became true brother and sister from that moment on. Jenna's breeding and upbringing is a mystery to everyone but her - she came in to the pound as a one-year old stray from some unknown place - but she has been great with Riley and also my pet rats. I get upset when people will only bring puppies into ferret-owning households because they believe that they have to raise the dog themself if they want it to be ferret-friendly. Jenna and also my parents' two rescue dogs acquired as adults (a Brittany spaniel and a shepherd mix) disprove that theory. My recommendation to you is to talk to the people you are adopting from, to meet the individual dogs, and to go by what their foster homes/rescue agencies say about them. Greyhounds are naturally quite laidback but some are more so than others, and I think a dog's temperament truly depends on the individual animal rather than what its breed is. Good luck with your new dog, and thank you for adopting a rescue dog! Hannah & Riley http://rileyrox.livejournal.com [Posted in FML issue 5163]
