Not being an animal person, is it the description of the greyhound that's wrong, or is that right and it's just not you? Or do you have a previous dislike of greyhounds?
I'm sure you realize this, but just to make sure, and in the interests of making choices based on complete knowledge: the quizzes are made by different people, you might not want to completely boycott quizilla itself (it being a blameless party)!! ;-P
Nah, nah, there are a few breeds I dislike (in the abstract, though concrete examples can usually win me over), but greyhounds aren't among them.
But really, would you expect someone with the handle "stoutfellow" to self-identify with one of the slenderest of breeds? I haven't checked the descriptions of other breeds, but I suspect basset hound would be a closer fit.
(Oh, yes - my comment about Quizilla was merely a reaction to two successive strange results. The last one was a Beatles quiz which said I was Paul. Not that I know what the result should have been, but Paul? Nuh-uh.)
Ah, simply cognitive dissonance, "that's just crazy!" :-)
Yah, I tend to do most of the quizzes if they sound interesting and not post them unless everybody's doing them and I feel the pressure. Or, the results are very appropriate, or sometimes exactly the opposite and do what you did. If the results are just odd, I tend not to post them, or if I just really don't like the results.
If I get my times right, you're up very early or very late, aren't you? ;-)

Yeah, lately I've gotten into the habit of getting up around 4AM to do a little websurfing before getting down to business. (Probably a bad idea. One of these days I'm going to sleep past my stop on the bus.)
The only other person I knew who got up that early regularly was Marion Zimmer Bradley, to do her writing before the kids started rampaging. So watch out, stoutfellow; you might be coming down with a book. :)
[which we would, of course, pounce upon with cries of great glee, but that'd only be after it had consumed an appalling amount of your life.]
