Dizzy is as unique as each snowflake that falls in winter. There’s not really an easy  way to describe him. He’s not keen on going for walks, he’s not fond of being out in the fields for more than a minute or two. He want’s a kennel mate but at the same time ignores them or gets a bit grumpy with them in his space. He is vocal and dramatic at mealtimes as well as when he’s been out the field too long (in his opinion). In a lot of ways Dizzy acts like a much younger more inexperienced dog. Despite him being a bit Meh about having a kennel mate, we think in a home environment he would benefit from having a stable and established Greyhound girl to guide him. This would hopefully make walks and outside time more enjoyable for him. Currently walk times are short as he is spooked by a lot of things even though we are semi-rural. 

He does have an excellent pathetic face and is usually found sitting down leaning in the front corner of his kennel. His propensity to look hard done by wins him a lot of fuss and affectionate from visitors to the kennels. He is an affectionate dog and does seem to like human company and would prefer someone around most of the time, or at least until he has settled and is happier in his new environment. 

The ideal home for Dizzy would probably be either a couple who are retired or a home with a couple of children with parent/s who work from home. This way he gets the human companionship that he likes whilst working with him on being left for short periods of time. 

Dizzy cannot live with cats or other breeds of dog.

 Although Dizzy is 4 he acts like a younger dog. Dizzy was born, raised and raced from the same kennel. Moving to a different kennel to find his forever home has been a bit of a challenge for him. Although a bit stressed with the change in environment, Dizzy picked up the kennel routine quickly and is starting to enjoy mealtimes now that he is used to the different food. Dizzy still hasn't quite worked out what treats are. He currently like smackos (or similar meaty strips) but only if they are broken into small pieces!
