Sorry for the delay..

Not really sure if I could help you, it all sounds very suspicious, there is no test reliable enough to determine a dogs breed, sounds like the police officer was acting in an irresponsible manner too, just allowing someone to in effectively steal your dog, as far as I know there are no regulations ...

Well I've used straw make sure it's treated for creatures ect... but sawdust can also work & paperbale is a good bedding solution too..

Beautiful pup!

Look forward to seeing pics

Yes.. pretty sure he's a Bull Lurcher... possibly EBT x Whippet..

Pretty much anything crossed with a sight dog.. is a Lurcher!

Looks like he's possibly a Bull Lurcher, very popular hunting dogs here in the United Kingdom, another nick name is a 'Grippet' so called because they're Whippets crossed with Staffies or APBTs which are known to have a good grip ;) If you want to adopt him then go for it, of course as you know they...

Sadly photobucket has see it fit block users images from being shared on forums, unless you pay them an exortianate fee, not really sure what the alternative is, maybe flickr or imageur..

He'll get used to it eventually, just try not to force it.. take you time

Thanks for the updates.

Not really as a matter of fact it's likely the puppy will copy the other dog when they see that they're getting rewards, just be warned about fights breaking out, they are brave dogs & will not back down from a challenge, so just be warned about if he's around unstable dogs, even if they're ones...
