THIS ONE IS "STERLING"!
Sterling is one gorgeous Greyhound. His white is sparkling and his red brindle patches are bright and shiny. His eyes have a sparkle in them which just hints of his mischievous temperment. Sterling is at the top of his game!
Sterling has a condition with his toenails called Lupoid Onychodystrophy. This is a lupus-like syndrome that involves multiple nails on his paws. This condition can cause split nails, brittle nails or sloughing nails. (Now, tell us that some human's don't have those same problems with their nails!) This syndrome can be asymptomatic and lie dormant for the life of the dog. Sterling has no symptoms of this condition presently. One Vitamin E geltab daily helps keep the syndrome in check. Sterling also has some corns on the bottom of one of his paws, but these cause him no concerns. So, other than these easily-handled conditions, Sterling was given a clean bill of health by our vet.
Sterling is doing greyt in his foster home. He is doing wonderfully with his crated although he has been known to "sing" a bit while in his crate. Sometimes, he also gets a bit anxious in his crate which results in some panting.
Sterling gets along with the other Greyhounds in his foster home. Although Sterling does fancy himself an alpha male, he backs down quickly when corrected by his human. This behavior doesn't manifest itself immediately upon arriving in a new home, but after he gets accustomed to the home environment.
Children over the age of 10 would probably be best for Sterling. Also, a house with another medium to large size dog would also be a necessity. A stay-at-home parent would also be a major plus for Sterling!
