Greyhound Facts

  • Greyhounds are docile, gentle, low-key creatures. On the track, greyhounds may possess outstanding athletic abilities, but in the home environment, they're "regular couch potatoes". Like any family dog, however, they need regular exercise to maintain their good health. A nice long walk on the leash three or four times a week is recommended. A fenced-in yard will make a great play area for your greyhound and provide it with adequate room for exercise.

  • Greyhounds are wonderfully outgoing, friendly and not aggressive.

  • Greyhounds are easy to train and are very social. Greyhounds adapt very quickly to your routine. Riding in a car, climbing stairs, playing with toys and other "firsts" may confuse a greyhound that is unaccustomed to these activities, but in no time at all he/she will master these and other household challenges.

  • Greyhounds love children and other pets. Greyhounds possess one of the best temperaments of all dog breeds. Gentle, patient and sensitive, they make ideal companions for children and seniors alike.

  • Greyhounds want to sleep indoors. Greyhounds love romping and frolicking outdoors (supervised), but after play time, they belong indoors. They naturally have little body fat and a thin coat that does not protect them against weather extremes.
