About Honey
Honey is a stunning blue brindle with a playful personality but is just as happy napping outside in the sun or in her bed. Her little bursts of energy usually include running around the garden with a squeaky toy in her mouth.
She walks well on a harness and rarely pulls. She loves being in the car but will sometimes be stubborn and want a lift to get in.
Honey adores cuddles and neck scratches. She is super friendly with people and happily plays with medium size dogs. When on leash and walking past small dogs she will just wag her tail in acknowledgement.
Honey can stay at home all day as long as she has access to some toys to entertain herself.
She sleeps all night in her bed and most mornings we have to wake up her and ask her go outside to the toilet. There has been no accidents inside her foster home since we've had her, she just likes her sleep.
Honey would be happy with or without another dog as long as she is walked regularly and access to a normal suburban sized garden to zoom around. She has also been fine around any children she has met.
When walked around areas such as the local lake she does take a keen interest in the ducks/geese so we think she wouldn't be trusted her around chickens etc. She also enjoys a bath and being brushed.
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
