I have drummed into the kids since they were tiny that calm and gentle will get them better friends with the dogs than being loud and boistrous (sp) they are very good but both dogs and kids forget themselves sometimes and it just aint worth it.

You have put into words what I was thinking really (about the greyhound) what I dont want to do is go down the path of looking seriously into it i.e. contacting rescue centres and then let them down (the centres) by saying no thanks I'm just not sure, once they've gone to the trouble of introducing dogs and doing home vetting.
