The only colour a greyhound is never - is grey !

Just had a quick read of the wiki page here which gives some info on greyhounds including the name which appears to have nothing to do with the colour grey:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyhound

"The name "Greyhound" is generally believed to come from the Old English grighund. "Hund" is the antecedent of the modern "hound", but the meaning of "grig" is undetermined, other than in reference to dogs in Old English and Old Norse. Its origin does not appear to have any common root with the modern word "grey"[59] for color, and indeed the Greyhound is seen with a wide variety of coat colors. The lighter colors, patch-like markings and white appeared in the breed that was once ordinarily grey in color. The Greyhound is the only dog mentioned by name in the Bible; many versions, including the King James version, name the Greyhound as one of the "four things stately" in the Proverbs.[60] However, some newer biblical translations, including The New International Version, have changed this to strutting rooster, which appears to be an alternative translation of the Hebrew term mothen zarzir. But also the Douay–Rheims Bible translation from the late 4th-century Latin Vulgate into English translates it as "a cock."


According to Pokorny[61] the English name "Greyhound" does not mean "grey dog/hound", but simply "fair dog". Subsequent words have been derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *g'her- "shine, twinkle": English grey, Old High German gris "grey, old", Old Icelandic griss "piglet, pig", Old Icelandic gryja "to dawn", gryjandi "morning twilight", Old Irish grian "sun", Old Church Slavonic zorja "morning twilight, brightness". The common sense of these words is "to shine; bright"."​

But it's not all been good ... she's showing signs of increased separation anxiety...
I know its all new & confusing for her (and me), but its hard to know how to give her confidence, without "rewarding" her signals & reinforcing the behaviors .

Hi Steve .. it should hopefully pass as she realises you will always be coming back to her ... she's lovely.
