2) Greyhounds don't need any more exercise than any other breed of dog. Greyhounds are called "40 MPH couch potatoes" for a very good reason.
3) Many greyhounds are perfectly fine with cats and small dogs
4) Greyhounds can live quite comfortably in an apartment as long as they are given the love and exercise needed, just like any other breed of dog.
5) A Greyhound’s average life span is 10-12 years, which is the same for any large breed of dogs.
6) Greyhounds are calm, docile, and have a greyt temperament.
7) Greyhounds rarely bark, unlike many other breeds of dog.
8) Greyhounds have NO doggie odor, even when they’re wet.
9) Greyhounds are NOT starving even though you can see their ribs, this is the way they’re supposed to look.
10) Greyhounds LOVE to ride in the car and travel with their owners.
11) Greyhounds are house trained before they are adopted; their foster parent(s) teach them about living in a house, climbing steps, and hearing sounds like vacuum cleaners and telephones.
12) Greyhounds are very familiar with walking on a leash since they’re walked in front of the race track crowds before each race.
Sweet, young Tuscany (just two years old at the time) died of heat-stroke four years ago. A careless pet-sitter left her outside for an entire day in the deadly Arizona temperatures. PLEASE take extra precautions to protect your pets throughout the next several months!
