This shot here is what makes me think it is a Greyhound because the ribs show so much, that is more of a Greyhound feature then most other dogs.




I have received all my Greyhounds from a local adoption organization, unfortunately the one I hope to get soon (a black brindle girl) is locked up in the pokey. She has about another 30 days in the hole until she is sprung  http://www.tgie-greyhounds.org/. She will be coming from the same group I received my first ones from in 2001 http://www.greyhoundbuddy.com/ although the first two were not prison dogs. As long as she gets along with our current greyhound (below) everything should be good.

Thanks for all the responses guys (and Ladies), I will try to get a good picture of the side and especially the back of the head. It could be a Whippet, I had a Whippet for over 7 years until he passed about 1 1/2 months ago. I still have one Greyhound and will be getting another Greyhound in about a month. Hope to get more pictures by tomorrow. Thanks again for all the responses!

I bought this Greyhound sculpture 12 years ago and have never been able to find out anything about it. It appears to made of all brass and measures about
10 1/2" tall
11 1/2" Long counting the legs
4 1/2"  wide at the base
weighs  6.5 lbs

Anyone ever seen one before? there are no markings of any kind on it inside or out. Seems to be made from about 8 pieces going by what I can see inside.

Any information someone might give me about it or point me in the right direction to find out more would be appreciated.  Thank You.
