Lupavaro, Italian Greyhound breeders in Italy
ENCI / FCI approved kennel. ENCI breeder member. Italian Sighthounds since 2006.
Sighthounds, as we know, do not like to play in a conventional way. They are relatively uninterested in bringing the ball back to you, or they do it a couple of times and then take the ball or the toy to the kennel and "keep it" there.
So how can you physically and mentally "tire" your IG?

I was pleased to share this study with you:
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/downloads/dangerous-animals/ACAids_Canine-MaternalStress_AC-19-005_6.19.pdf
stress triggers the release of hormones such as cortisol into the bloodstream. when these hormones cross the placenta from the mother to the puppies, the set point of the puppies' stress response system changes.
Stress also alters the quality of maternal care, which affects puppies' behavior.
