Greyhound Breed Description

Just browsing some dog pages and found that the Scottish Kennel Club have Greyhounds down as needing lots of exercise, and suitable for Country rather than Town.
Any ideas how to change their minds?

Black vs Blonde?
(Preview)
This probably seems like a terribly random topic, but I once heard a rep from Battersea Dog's Home say that black dogs were much harder to home than "blonde" dogs - i.e. people generally prefer golden labs to black labs. It was thought that this is because darker dogs look more vicious. (?!)
