Thank you ladies for your info as always & muchly appreciated.

Trev at the dog refuge knows how long we'll be away from home each day & how much time we can devote to training etc. We're aware that the dog would not be able to venture out onto the trails right away & would have to do some obedience classes etc.

We are leery of the greyhound & foxhound but are ok with the kelpie. I don't want something that is going to take me for a walk

What's sad is nobody wants the foxhound or the greyhound
