I have encountered a few rescues in classes, but was not aware of the high incidence of bone cancer or the issues with swimming. Thank you for posting the background on greyhounds.

I've read that as many as 40% of them will develop it, which is higher than for other breeds, including all the giant breeds which develop bone cancer more than other breeds. There's no doubt that BG was a Dobe-greyhound mix. And while all dogs can have shyness as part of their behavioral makeup from birth - part of their genetic makeup - the shyness gene(s) in greyhounds is wellknown to those who work with the breed. In greyhound rescue the dogs with this problem vary, but they're assessed from 'nervous' to 'complete spook' and that needs to be understood before anyone starts forcing a dog on a treadmill or pulling them into a pool. (BTW, greyhounds are not natural swimmers as they have heavy bone density and little body fat to assist with buoyancy and to keep them warm. They generally flail wildly to keep themselves afloat, which doesn't help them enjoy being in water over their heads.) Actually, in racing greyhounds, the incidence of bone cancer is huge.

I've watched him a couple of times pawing at the bottome of the chain link fence between us and the neighbors, they have a dog too. It doesn't look like he's trying to dig under it, more like there is something there that he wants to dig up. All I have to do is call his name and he stops.

When I take him to the beach, I take my finger and lightly scratch at the sand saying, “Zeus, what's this?”, and he comes over and starts digging for China, it's hillarious! =)

I was shocked to learn (from Susanne Clothier's Bones Would Rain From the Sky) that renowned trainer Vicki Hearne used to try to "cure" her dogs of digging by semi-drowning them! Great ideas.
