Monkey is a striking 3-year-old greyhound with a glossy black coat and those classic long legs that give him an unmistakably tall stance. He’s got a big, happy spirit and isn’t shy about loving attention—any chance to meet a new person is a good day for him. On walks, Monkey does well on the leash for the most part, though his excitement can bubble up and cause him to jump at his handler. He’s learning quickly to control this, especially when treats are part of the training. His food motivation makes him a quick study for cues and commands. Monkey tends to be confident, but if you drop him into a brand new place, he might start off a touch uncertain. Give him some encouragement and a few minutes, and you’ll see him settle in like he owns the place. He enjoys being around other greyhounds, although he’s still working on his social skills with different breeds. Toys are a big deal for Monkey—nothing tops chasing soccer balls or parading his favorites around the house. He’ll thrive in a moderate to highly active home with a family that enjoys keeping a smart, lively dog engaged. Monkey doesn’t get along with cats, but does well with other dogs, particularly greyhounds. Born under Gemini, he’s got a playful, social streak and plenty of charm.
