We got Trigger when he was 6 months old, from a co-worker going through a divorce. His papers describe him as a Greyhound-Lab-Boxer mix, but he is black and white, with big ears and a tail that will clear a coffee table! He is slim like the greyhound and we live in rural Ontario so he gets tons of running around the farms and country roads. He is stubborn as a mule, but easy to train. Loves EVERYONE, including other dogs, but when other animals are tugging and barking, he is super cool and never responds! Best dog I have every had. Never give him table scraps or human food. He only gets Purina 1 twice and day and is the same weight (57lbs.) when we got him 6 years ago. Vet said his digestive tract is narrow (Greyhound) so keeping him on this dietary track will add years to his life.

I got him from a breeder as a Lab puppy but by the 6th month, he looked so different than a Lab. It was only after a year I was told by a vet that he was a Greydor.
His name is Bobby, and he is lightning-fast, adorable, handsome, and highly alert dog.
He is not friendly with the strangers. Maybe friendly with 1 out of 10.
He is highly intelligent and full of energy. I make him walk around 5 kilometers every day, and rest he runs around in our backyard.

Friendly with few dogs, mostly smaller breeds but extremely aggressive with large breeds.
Already broke his leash four times in the last 2 years. Many people have suggested castration but I don’t want to suppress his natural instinct.
Maybe people on this forum can give their views regarding the castration.

We adopted Layla from a shelter about 10 months ago. She was 11 months old then. Still not sure if she a Greyador, but she looks just like the picks of ones we’ve seen and the description sounds spot on. She is the sweetest, most loving girl in the world! We just adore her. She is very friendly and not at all agressive, but she does have quite a bit of anxiety around new people and doing new things. Not sure if thats due to her breed or her being a rescue.
She loves running with other dogs but rarely it on her own. It’s so fun seeing her run full speed! She looks just like a racing dog! Otherwise she looks like a long, skinny lab. She CAN NOT seem to learn fetch which we all laugh about – her being a retriever and all.
She wants to chase small animals when we’re out, but she only sniffs at our pet guinea pigs. She’s never shown any agression towards them – the same can not be said to the bunnies and squirrels outside.
She is just the absolute, sweetest girl and we are so happy we found her!

We got our greyador pup about 8 months ago.He can be very sweet one minute and the next minute he growls and bites us. He has nipped my wife and I and our children and grandchildren…we had him in a puppy class and in a month long3 day a week program. I also want to mention that he was part of a 47 dog group that was kept in the back of a pickup truck and was transported from Dallas to Wisconsin by a man looking to make a quick buck….

I rescued Stella, in August, from Mexico. It wasn’t until I actually got to the rescue that I realized she has greyhound in her (she looks like the greyhound in the pic at the top – exactly the same markings & color. She is the sweetest, loving, obedient & trains well BUT outside she can be a totally different dog! She can walk by another dog & totally ignore it or she starts talking & pulling. I live in Canada where the rabbits turn white (winter) & she can see or sense their presence (in the dark) & off she goes – dragging me behind her. I am thinking that she could be a Greyador mix & mixed with another breed. She loves the snow & the water.
She is only 18 months old – spent her first 15 months in a rescue. She is eager to learn & very lovable (when she wants to be).
Of course I will never know her exact breed mix – but she sure sounds like there is a big percentage Greyador in her.

I adopted my Mabel about 5 months ago. She had been terribly abused and neglected. She is such a sweet natured girl. Her prey drive is crazy so sometimes walks in the neighborhood can be an arm work out for me. She has very cat like tendencies. It’s hilarious to watch. She loves seeping on a sunny windowsill or trancing in the curtains. She looks like a skinny lab but when she runs and hits her speed she looks exactly like a lab.

I adopted the most loving, friendly and calm greyador. She is brown mixed with white with gray spots as well. She loves to run the deer at my mothers house and loves to just run fast around in circles. I’m glad she is happy and I’m glad to have got her.
