I just adopted a former race dog, which im sure you'll be getting if your adopting one.
They are very skittish because all they know is a kennel/crate...and training.
The trainers also fed them raw red meat. The adoption centers will have them changed over to regular dog food before you get them.

They are VERY nice dogs!!! They are gentle and docile unless they get spooked.
The LOVE to chase things.....so be careful if you have cats, because the dog WILL chase and possibly nip at them.

When outside, I would recommend some sort of electric fence or "shock collar" cause if they see anything running, they are GONE!!!!!!!! And they are hella fast..LOL

Its a big learning curve for the dogs because they have never seen inside a home or any compassion, with some work and being stern with the animal, they will learn....

But you'll never get them to stop chasing!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome specimine of a dog..... Muscles, sleek...just a great dog... Much recommended!
