Greyhound

Greyhounds are very affectionate toward their owners, which can sometimes translate into separation anxiety. They are generally well-mannered and quiet around your house and when outside, until they see something interesting to chase. Greyhounds have an extremely high drive to sprint after anything that looks particularly interesting, so make sure you keep them on a leash anywhere that’s not fenced in. Lots of Greyhounds come from racing backgrounds and have never seen other dog breeds. True to form, they can be somewhat unpredictable around breeds that seem strange to them.

A Greyhound's short, smooth coat is relatively easy to care for. A weekly brushing will be all that is necessary to keep their coat nice and shiny and cut back on shedding.

Greyhounds are able to fit into many different living situations. They don’t require large amounts of space to be happy; they just need to be around their human families as much as possible. Greyhounds get along very well with children but should be supervised around cats or other small pets that look fun to chase. Most Greyhounds are raised around other Greyhounds and crave the companionship of their own species, so if you’ve got room for two, your Greyhound would definitely love it!

Greyhounds are the ultimate sprinters. These speedy dogs love the challenge of the chase, but will otherwise be happy hanging out on your couch. You’ll want to make sure you give a Greyhound around a half hour of exercise every day, which can be accomplished with a quick jog or by running alongside your bicycle for a short ride.
