More About Greyhound

The Greyhound, known for being the fastest dog breed, is surprisingly a calm and affectionate companion. They have a gentle and easy-going temperament, making them well-suited for family life. Their slender, athletic build is a result of centuries of breeding for speed. Greyhounds are quiet and well-mannered indoors, often enjoying lounging and napping. They do require regular, short bursts of exercise to satisfy their sprinting instincts. Their short, smooth coat is easy to care for, requiring minimal grooming. Greyhounds are often friendly with other dogs and people, though their strong prey drive may lead them to chase smaller animals. They are known for their sensitivity and respond well to calm, positive training methods.
