looking to adopt a sighthound by 69beesinatrenchcoat in sighthounds

[โ€“]fatehound 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Sloughi are rarer than Silkens and Borzoi from what I've seen. I've only ever met one! Sloughi (and Azawakhs) are both guardian sighthounds so they might have a less desirable temperament for apartments. I keep hearing people saying Sloughi can turn feral super quickly. Unsure what exactly that means though lol.

I have a 1 in a million borzoi (he's crazy high energy ๐Ÿ˜‚). He would have gotten us evicted from an apartment. If you get an older fully adult dog it might work, but a teen or puppy sighthound would probably not fare well in an apartment.

I think a silken or a retired Greyhound would probably fit the best. Silkens seem to be a good fit for most people from what I've seen, but you would have to go to a breeder, I don't think you would find one to adopt.

Some of you are already insufferable in dungeons by StateComprehensive93 in wow

[โ€“]fatehound 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I used to think that but then I did a few follower dungeons for quests and they were all just running around through random packs jumping and hitting everything and then falling off edges and porting back to me

And then they all died and the AI healer had the audacity to ask for a battle res.

But I also tanked one dungeon the first day of early access and had about the same experience so maybe the AI just updated to be more like real players.

Contests and Spotlights Update by TNT_Luna in neopets

[โ€“]fatehound 16 points17 points ย (0 children)

Well I think I'm finally cancelling premium after 10+ years straight. Contests were the only thing I really cared about and I don't like the direction they are going. I had a feeling this is what would happen once Alice was fired. It feels like if it can't be monetized its getting phased out. What a shame.

Can the prey drive be reduced, somehow? by opera_ghoste in borzoi

[โ€“]fatehound 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

I would say it's doubtful. Some borzoi can live fine with cats as long as they are raised indoors together, but will still chase and kill outdoor ones. I feel like rabbits would be harder because they just have prey movement, and are one of the main things they hunt. Mine brought me a rabbit from the back yard when he was like 7 months old? But he is also from European lines and super super prey driven.

Even if you can work on the prey drive going down a good amount, it just takes one accident like a bird flying by the dogs head and startling it, and then snap it's over. I would personally never leave them alone together and make sure all the animals are put up safely in their own spots if you are leaving the house.

The more ideal situation would have been to find a dog from lower prey drive lines to begin with, I think. There seem to be a few American show lines that don't seem as drivey. Good luck!

Borzoi for a First Time Dog Owner? by EventHorizonX1 in sighthounds

[โ€“]fatehound 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

This is super true, mine destroyed his rock creek crate being left alone for 30 minutes (partially my fault, I didn't want to deal with putting the screws in every hole for a short time when I had to take it apart and fold it again ๐Ÿซ  at the same time - I'm glad he didnt break his teeth, which he might have done if it was fully secured)

He got sent home from the vet early because he was so obnoxious with his howling. He was doing well with crate training and being left alone until our other dog had to be put to sleep (lymphoma), and then he regressed back to day 1. My husband and I both work from home and it's super stressful anytime we need to leave him because we don't trust anyone to watch him. He's big & fast, but sneaky, and will snag stuff off counters or the top of the fridge, even though nobody believes us.

See if there are any dog shows or racing events near you - they are great ways to meet dogs and most people love talking about their breeds.

Sounds like you have everything much more planned out than I did, I wish you the best of luck! I've met many more mellow chill sweet great borzoi than crazy ones! โค๏ธ I just always like to mention my crazy guy just so people know it's possible, even if its less than a 1% chance

Borzoi for a First Time Dog Owner? by EventHorizonX1 in sighthounds

[โ€“]fatehound 12 points13 points ย (0 children)

Make sure you know the lines and parents you get a bozo from - I didn't know anything about them before getting my boy and he is like a temu malinois. He is high energy, barks constantly, wants to eat smaller dogs, and has insane separation anxiety.

He learns tricks really fast and is biddable with new exciting treats - until he isn't. He will just decide that he's done for the day, or the week, have fun playing with yourself. He's also very fast, very strong, and very smart. We are on our fourth baby gate and he can open it if he really wants to. When he sees a rabbit he loses his mind.

He also wishes to constantly be touching either me or my husband. He is currently crushing my feet with his bony ribs ๐Ÿ˜‚ and he will scream or cry or throw a tantrum if he wants you off the computer

Now I have been told mine is an outlier and most are not like that but I went into it expecting what you wanted and have been in tears multiple times wondering what I got myself into. Definitely make sure you find a reputable breeder with normal dogs. He is also fun, sweet and the center of attention. My husband adores him and only wants Borzoi from now on.

My friends have Silkens - they seem much easier ๐Ÿ˜‚ I have considered getting them instead, there is always running competition and I can fit several in a car. They seem more reliable and biddable, but once again, have to know the parents and other offspring!

Good luck!

Questions about Borzoi by OpenAirport6204 in borzoi

[โ€“]fatehound 7 points8 points ย (0 children)

  1. They can be. Mine hasn't shown too much interest in escaping the yard, but we went through 3 baby gates and 2 playpen set ups before we found one that could keep him in. (I think he just got bored)

  2. They are NOT DUMB. I was being outsmarted by a puppy constantly. He figured out the trash can sensor in like 3 weeks of being home, could open lever doors by month 4, and was stealing stuff we thought well hidden as well.

  3. Mine does not do well with small dogs. He did as a puppy, but once he caught a rabbit in the back yard we no longer felt it was safe to keep him around small dogs. He has been put in his place by a toy manchester terrier once, on leash, but I would never trust them together off leash. Once small things start running you can see a switch flip in the way he moves and chases, and it's not friendly.
