Mullet aka Mulley, is an affectionate sweetheart! ??
He stole the hearts of his foster family from day one.
He settled quickly into pet life and is very comfortable when snuggled with his human.

What we know about Mullet:
- his name is PERFECT and he knows and responds to it. Well, he raced as "Comb over Mullet", a name we believe was chosen by his trainers kids!

- he is a fast learner and wants to please. He has learnt a number of basic commands and only needs a very gentle prompt for him to get on his ‘bed’ or to ‘stay’. Saying ‘no’ when he gives you a look with those gorgeous eyes is something to get used to!

- he is a ‘talker’. He attends greyhound socialisation classes and likes to speak out loud when he sees other breeds having fun without him. It’s not a bark - more of a ‘roo roo roo’

- car rides are one of his favourite things and he is a great traveller. Gets in and settles for a short or long drive.

- he has made many new friends whilst in foster care spending time with a few different breed dogs (larger varieties) and his greyhound walking group friends. He is a happy cafe dog too after a walk.

- he is happy to be indoors or outdoors and currently spends up to 5 hours a day, several days a week, at home with his foster brother outside whilst the family goes to work and school and is quiet and content.

- squeaky toys are great! Mullet loves to toss around a loud squeaky toy but is not overly keen to share a tug of war game with a human (hence older children being a preference) he did try to steal an unsuspecting child’s teddy at the dog lovers show last year and he also was a bit partial to Santa’s fluffy sleeves!

- Mullet is very confident going upstairs, but down has been a little challenging - with time and support, he would be fine.

- he sleeps on his bed all night but does like to know his humans are close by. Roaching is a favourite position of his and it’s when we know he is super relaxed.

- he is a very confident dog when out and about and will happily greet people and pass by other dogs. He walks easy on a lead and in a harness, happy with a short walk or a longer stroll. He can also be a little over zealous upon first greetings with people (particularly small children) and dogs so he still needs a little work on those manners.

Mullet would be best suited for adults or families with teenage children.
He would be fine with medium / large other breed companions or other greyhounds companions.
