Mama “Nellie” (racing name Nellie Who) is a sweet, happy, black female BROOD  MAMA! A field trial greyhound (a mix). She was born May 1, 2015. Nellie is 10-years-old, and 60 pounds. She had 2 or 3 litters of pups. Now she is retired not only from the field trial races, but from having puppies also. Nellie figured out stairs right away, and it’s her new favorite thing. She also is not afraid of the vacuum, nor the lawnmower She is fully potty trained.  Now she goes to the back door when she wants out.  She has slept through the night since we got her.  She crates well, though you sometimes have to coax her into the crate with a treat.  However, once she is in there, she just lays down.  We’ve walked her several times around the neighborhood and she walks pretty well on leash.  She doesn’t exactly walk in a straight line, but she also doesn’t pull.  The road noise does not seem to scare her, nor do storms. She tested positive for Ehrlichia, so we treated her with medication prior to her spay. She is cat trainable.

Smokie prefers a calm predictable environment. He likes to get acquainted with people at his own pace, and not feel rushed. Smokie is more reserved at first, but not shy. He does great with folks who understand his desire to move a little slower into the relationship.
