having a greyhound

Greyhounds are very athletic and as I have come to learn they can also be very lazy. When bringing home a greyhound you should make he or she feel as comfortable as possible being in a new enviorment as you would any other dog. The majority of the time they sleep....alot. Half of the time you dont even know that they are there.The greyhounds that I have come across have the funniest personalities. I work in a racing greyhound kennel and they are the most amazing breed I have seen. They are very friendly and they are wonderful around kids.

Things to know about greyhounds:

1. Having a fenced in yard.

It would probably be best to have a fenced in yard because greyhounds love to run around when they are not on a leash and if you yard is not fenced in be careful because a greyhound can run up to 45mph.

2. Plenty of excersise

It is good to play and let your greyhound run around to keep in shape. you can also buy a squaker which makes a noise that sounds like a sqeeking duck.lol

3. Thin skin

In the winter time it would be good to put a dog blanket or a sweater on your greyhound because greyhounds have thin skin so they can get cold easier
