Greyhound Puppies For Sale

What's it like owning a Greyhound?

Greyhounds are the fastest of all dog breeds but are actually quite low-energy when they are off the track. These calm, affectionate dogs can fit into many different types of living situations, as long as you’ve got a nice comfy spot for them to sit and be lazy. Full-grown, they typically weigh 60-70 pounds and stand 27-30 inches tall.

Do Greyhounds get along with kids?

Greyhounds are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Greyhounds get along very well with children but should be supervised around cats or other small pets that look fun to chase. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

What kind of exercise do Greyhounds need?

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. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.

What's the coat like on a Greyhound?

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. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Can a Greyhound live in an apartment?

Greyhounds are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They don’t require large amounts of space to be happy; they just need to be around their human families as much as possible. 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! They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
