To Dig A Hole

Greyhound love to dig holes. I can't tell you how many time i have let they greys out at work and by the time i get into the pen with the 5 gallon water bucket and fell into a hole that i did not see....along with the water bucket. Greyhounds also love to dig holes in the summer because the ground is cool or sometimes they do it just for fun.

Exercise

Keeping your greyhound in shape is always a good thing . I like to take my greyhound to a open field where there are no cars around and let her run freely with my other dog who is not a grey but a pit boxer mix, and they get along just great. In the summer time swimming is another way of exercise for you greyhound if they are not afraid of water.

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
