Was yours a young rescue? It’s my understanding that those that are adopted out early are usually those that don’t want to run. Maybe that indicates a weaker prey drive?

What food do you feed yours?

We got her from a rescue at 7 mnths. Prey drive is not about running away but about wiggly small things like some cats and small dogs, and especially squirrels.

I am feeding her Blue now. She eats slowly and that's a good thing. When I take her to the beach she never tries to take off and always wants to get to the car before me. She is just under 2 years old and extremely calm and quiet but does bark when she hears something outdoors...and goes off to investigate. She never barks for no reason.

She is really a low maintenance ( in terms of energy) and excellent dog all the way.

Sorry but since you seem to be interested I was also going to mention the lack of shedding.

My brother's greys take their retirement very seriously. LOL!

When he first got them, they would chase a thrown tennis ball. Now, all they are interested in doing is trotting around and smelling the smells.

Racers at the track are usually fed a raw meat diet.

My brother's dogs were transitioned to a dry food diet before he got them. Afterward, he decided to transition them back to a raw meat diet.

Processed dog food causes a few problems in dogs, such as tartar on the teeth which in turn causes unhealthy gums. It also causes anal sac problems.

A raw meat diet takes care of all of these because the bones and tendons give their teeth and gums a good cleaning with every meal and the hard poops do the same for their anal sacs.

His dogs get fed things like chicken quarters, turkey legs and necks ox tails, etc. He will also sometimes suppliment meals with raw eggs and even sardines.
