Have you ever actually handled a Magyar? I am really interested in this breed, I've heard they have a Greyhound-like temperament but are more robust and sturdy.

Yes I have! There is a breeder a few hours from me, and I've helped handle her dogs in the field for her. She also runs the all breed lure coursing we do, so I see them there. She's a member here, since she took on a co-own APBT - Her screenname is probably Stouthearted or something similar (after her kennel name).

What you've heard is pretty accurate... they're very Grey-like in temperament, but definitely more sturdy. I haven't lived with a Grey or a Magyar, so I couldn't help you with the differences in the home... but I like Magyars better for the field, because I don't like a fragile dog - and Greys are the most fragile in the field by a long shot lol
