Can you tell that I’m very partial to sighthounds? I adore them and yet they are extremely mysterious to me. I feel like I don’t understand them at all, but I want to. Some years down the road, I’m quite serious about adopting a former racing greyhound. Reading Tales and Tails also makes me believe that it would be possible for two such divergent dogs as a German shepherd and a greyhound could happily and peacefully coexist.

Beautiful! I especially like the picture of Gypsy Rose Lee with her Afghan Hound.
I think Salukis are really striking. Maybe someday….
I look forward to adopting a greyhound someday, too.
I’m also rather partial to whippets.
Very excited to have met my first Borzoi a few weeks back. That’s another dog with an interesting history…
The Afghan with the hair like a wig is ridiculous!
Gypsy Rose Lee’s Afghan was named Diana. I was never able to track down the registered name or breeder. Afghans have always been popular with celebrities, I have a bunch of photos of stars and their Afghans.
