[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 287666, member: 2459"] Grayhounds can be calm indoors but they also need room to run. I looked into the adoption process for them and one of the requirements is that you have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and exercise. Walks are good too but the groups prefer an area that the dog can run loose. My cousin has had a few boxers and they have been good dogs. The males can get somewhat large but the females aren't too bad. She had hers in the house and only had a very tiny back yard but they seemed to do ok with that. A friend had one too and husband and I would take her for rides in the truck with us before we got a dog. She LOVED taking rides! I was going to suggest something like Chester but then I noticed that you wanted a CALM dog. In that case, I would definately avoid Jack Russels! LOL He's like Tigger on Winnie the Pooh and I don't know that you would want to deal with that! If I were you, I would still at least consider the pound. At this point in time, there are a lot of dogs there who have a good chance at being leash trained because people had them but couldn't keep them after job losses and such. You could always ask the staff or take a leash for a trial walk too, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
