My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is WW’s Chippewa, but we call him “Chip” for short. He had a relatively long racing career, running on three different tracks. Now that his racing days and kennel life are over, he needed to learn how to live in a people house. In the beginning he had a lot of work to do; however, he is a very fast learner. Within 12 hours he learned how to use the dog door and front steps. Within 36 hours he learned to not get on the counters or snatch food from people’s hands. Within 4 days he started responding to his name and not waking his people up at 5AM for training. This is because he can follow good directions and is easily corrected.
He has soft fir, even for a greyhound, and he loves hugs. He is not a hip hugger, nor is he standoffish. He is very affectionate. Cats are safe in his presence, and he does like kids. However, he does not understand how big and powerful he is and can be a little rough at times. This strength makes it difficult for him to navigate linoleum floors; throw rugs had to be put down to give him some grip on the floor. He likes to collect items that interest him: shoes, hair brushes, shirts, and reusable grocery bags. He has not destroyed anything, but the potential is there. He does not seem to be afraid of anything, and he is very comfortable in his own skin.
In one sentence, Chip is a smart, confident, friendly, and affectionate hound who enjoys being himself.
