Good Points: Well behaved, requires small amount of exercise, quiet, clean in the house and very loyal.
Bad Points: None
General comments: 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 accidents. She gets on well with our cat (although I think this is rare so be careful) and she loves our other dog who is a patterdale terrier. Many people believe Greyhounds require lots of exercise but this is not true at all. After just a 20 minute walk she is tired and ready to go home and she sleeps almost as much as our cat does. She loves nothing more than to cuddle up with us and just wants to please us all the time. One thing we have found is that we have to be very careful not leave food lying around as she will eat anything and steals from anywhere. Please adopt one of these wonderful dogs as they are very easy to own and they deserve so much more than the terrible treatment so many of them receive when their job of racing is done.

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 ...
