Does Anyone Travel with a Retired Greyhound?
We have been thinking about adopting a retired racer. My son and his wife have one and he is just the most amazing dog. You would think he would be very active but he is pretty chill. My worry is...

We traveled with two for the first four years of retirement. We never had an issue. In fact, they often were the hit of the campground and office where there is no Greyhound racing, and thus not a lot of Greyhounds seen there.
Retired racing Greyhounds are awesome companion animals as you have already seen. Mostly they are seen in groups of two or more because like potatoes chips: "You can't have just one."
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to PM us.
I've heard the saying "If you can see the floor there's room for more!" I love that you have a chihuahua now. Total opposites right? :C
We had the Greyhounds when we retired, along with a 100 pound Belgian Malanois, three adult humans, all in our 27 foot TT. We decided too cut down the numbers and the sizes though attrition.
As the larger dogs passed away, we "downsized." Given the room, I would own at least two more Greyhounds. To me, they are the finest companion dogs one could possibly ask for.
For now, a Chihuahua mix fulfills our need for dogs. 12 pounds of dog, 100 pounds of attitude. This dog knows not the word "fear."
I love the saying "If you can see the floor......" But it would not work in our house. The Greys were "dogs of comfort" and would not even consider laying on the floor. They much preferred a couch or our bed!
