Greyhounds make the best pets!
Especially when they sleep 18 hours a day đ
Greyhounds are the gentle giants of the dog world.
Their sweet, calm nature makes them the perfect family pet and great dog
for a home with kids.
Greyhounds enjoy life at a slower pace. They appreciate the
simple pleasures, like a gentle stroll around the block and quality time
at home with their family.
The fastest of all breeds (a Greyhound can outrun a horse in a sprint),
once he has exploded into his powerful driving gallop for a short time,
he is content to sleep for the rest of the day. Which brings up an
important requirement for owning a Greyhound â you should have a
good-sized, fenced area in which he can spring all-out at least once
every few days.
Greyhounds are not built for endurance, so they don't want or need hours
of jogging exercise. This sensitive breed prefers peace and quiet and
soft-spoken people. He does not do well in an environment with chronic
tension or loud voices.
Most Greyhounds are politely reserved with strangers, and prefer to lean
against their owner's leg rather than approaching people they don't
know. Greyhounds are peaceful with other dogs who are medium to large in
size. But because of their heritage, they can be a serious chaser of
cats and tiny dogs.
However, many individuals can learn to coexist with these smaller pets.
Greyhounds are nonaggressive (they tend to freeze when challenged or
attacked) and they can be touch-sensitive (startling when touched
unexpectedly). Because they are so docile, they must be trained with a
very light hand and much more praise than correction. This quiet dog
seldom barks. (But many individuals take great delight in stealing and
hoarding food and toys!)
