While her genetic profile shows 52.4% Greyhound, 17.1% Borzoi, 17.1% American Pit Bull Terrier, and 13.4% Belgian Malinois, we at GPI speculate Ebony is 99% dog, 1% locomotive.From her greyhound lineage she inherited a friendly, upbeat, playful, and affectionate nature. She also is an intelligent, responsive, and eager student who loves to learn and engage with people. Don’t tell the other GPI dogs, but a professional trainer confessed that if she could adopt a greyhound, she would likely choose Ebony for her combination of brains and personality.What about the 1% locomotive? First of all her coat is steel grey, a color common for trains but quite unusual for greyhounds. What’s more, Ebony is remarkably strong and high energy by greyhound standards.She has an enthusiastic and curious side which can scatter her attention when she encounters something novel or interesting. Because Ebony has had little experience in the world outside the shelter/kennel environment, it currently doesn’t take much novelty to make her enthusiastically curious, and perhaps a little vocal and distracted. But when this happens it only takes a bit of patience and effort to redirect her attention.Ebony could fit into many types of families, though is a bit too big, jumpy, and high energy to be around tiny or frail people. She needs a home with a fenced yard and a family committed to providing her daily with plenty of exercise in a secure, leash-free romping area. Because she is so strong she will need to be walked by a person who is also strong and very steady on their feet.Ebony can do well seeing other dogs on walks, but she would prefer to be an only dog.  Ebony can be very affectionate, but she also has a energetic, strong, enthusiastic, and fun-loving side. Ebony does have  a prey drive that makes her untrustworthy around small dogs and similarly-sized animals, and is certainly not cat safe. We think she could be happy as an only dog, as long her person or family spends a lot of quality time mentally engaging with and physically exercising her.All Ebony needs is a little training and real world experience to teach her to focus consistently on her person rather than external novelties. Her energy, sweet people-pleasing disposition, and intelligence will make her an exceptional companion to both people and larger dogs alike!
