    Good Points: Affectionate, gentle, sensitive souls
    Excellent with children
    Minimal exercise (two 20 minute walks a day are plenty)
    Calm and quiet in the house - you hardly know they are there
    Very few greyhounds are barkers
    Minimal moulting - great for allergy sufferers and the houseproud
    Naturally clean in the house - housetraining is a doddle
    Soak up love and fuss - make brilliant Pets As Therapy dogs.
    Most dogs socialise with other breeds very quickly.
    Very adaptable.
    Healthy breed, no problems from in-breeding
    Elegant, beautiful animals, you will get admiring glances, attract comments, and make new friends wherever you go when you have a greyhound in tow.


    Bad Points: Not all greyhounds can be trained to go off lead and some have slightly selective recall!
    They have been bred and trained to chase - care needed round cats and small fluffy animals.


    General comments: A Greyhound is a delight to share you life and home. Racing greyhounds have led such sheltered lives - some dogs straight off the track will need a bit of help learning about the big wide world, tackling the stairs, figuring out the TV, learning not to be scared of the vacuum cleaner etc. But most will walk into your home like they've lived there all their lives. And they are so loyal and loving - they never ever forget the ones that rescued them. Watching your greyhound run for the sheer joy of it is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see.

    We are owned by ex racer, Jazz, the prettiest sweetest greyhound girl in all the world. She is perfect in every way. I have had other breeds but it's greyhounds for me from now.

    We adopted Purdy 3 months ago and she is purfect. A failed racer at just 18 months she was one of the lucky few who was given over to a rescue centre by the owner rather than put out on the streets where all kinds of horrific things happen to these wonderful dogs. When we picked her up we had to teach her how to live in a house with people, a cat and another dog. This was both sad to see but very rewarding to see her confidence grow. She was clean in the house very quickly with only a couple of ...

    Our Greyhound, Trooper, only came to us two weeks ago, and we really can't imagine life without him. After a bad experience with a dog a few years ago, it took a lot of persuading to convince my husband that a greyhound would be for us, until he read the information I had gathered, and then he too was convinced. Trooper is a retired racer. He is 6 years old, and is a proper baby!! He loves a fuss and a cuddle, and enjoys nothing more than curling up in front of the fire with my 2 cats (it only ...

    Jimmy (bonny boy) an all "shiny black" greyhound now three and a half. Thoroughbred pet. A real head-turner in the high street. Loves to lean on anybody that shows the slightest bit of attention. Loves kids. Loves soft going, really takes off. Burns sugar quickly, so likes a rest in between sprints. Normally twenty minutes.
    Sociable with other dogs, especially Oscar the English mastive who he likes to bully!! bone idle, loves a cuddle on the settee, faithful, Very obedient. Will chase a hare. ...

    I am proud to be owned by 2 greyhounds and a choc lab puppy (all rescues). My first greyhound taught my second greyhound all about living with humans: stairs; walking on a lead; food times; where and when to go to toilet; and that there wasn't anything to be scared of. My 2nd had lived rough for a year having been dumped probably following an accident when racing (she was originally an Irish bred racer) before being picked up by a rescue society. As a result she was too scared to walk and needed ...

    The greyhound is very quiet in the house. It is considered the 45 mph couch potato. They get along with children and are very loyal. They love snuggling up in a big blanket and love attention. If you prefer an independent dog, the Greyhound is not the dog for you. They are very easily house-trained because they like to keep their living quarters clean. They do not bark, shed, or require that much exercise. You need to have a fenced in yard for a Greyhound. You can let them out in an enclosed are ...
