Killer Bashful has a strange name but what a great and stunning boy!! He is calm, friendly and a "gentle giant". He is like an "old soul" with a way about him and a calmness that seems far beyond his years. He was one of our favorites--just a big "mooshie" boy. He was described in Florida as "calm and a take it or leave it boy." He walks nicely on leash. Killer Bashful will be 2 years old in May and although he loves people, no cats, please.

"Killer"?...Well, yes, because he is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, with big brown eyes and a soulful expression that just melts your heart.
"Bashful"?...Only in the most charming sense of the word. This big, handsome hunk is not even two years old yet. He loves to be petted and fussed over but is not needy. He is content to snooze on a dog bed in whatever room you are in. He is experiencing so many new things and is quietly curious to learn about his new life in retirement. It has been wonderful to watch him learn and grow in confidence over the three weeks he has been with us. His temperament is remarkably calm and steady, especially for such a young dog. When he does need correction, a firm “no” is usually all that is required.
He has never had an accident in the house. He mastered the stairs in a day and sleeps peacefully through the night on a dog bed in my bedroom.
He gets along well with my other greyhound, galgo and collie, both male and female. Although there are no children living in our house, he as interacted beautifully with them at two events we have attended with him.
He walks beautifully on a leash. He is, however, very interested in small animals and is not cat safe, so most likely would do best in a home with other greyhounds and/or other large dogs. As he is still a youngster, he is quite comical at times in his lack of sense of self in space, bumping into things when he forgets just how big he is.
Killer Bashful is a sweet, sensitive, gentle giant who you can’t help but to fall in love with. He will make a wonderful companion for whoever is lucky enough to adopt him.
