1. They are gentle and affectionate: despite their reputation as racing dogs, greyhounds are actually very gentle and affectionate with their owners. They enjoy spending time with their family and are known to be very loyal pets.
2. They are low-maintenance: greyhounds have short coats that do not require much grooming-an occasional brush helps keep their coat nice and shiny! They are also relatively low-energy dogs that do not require a lot of exercise, making them a good fit for people who have less active lifestyles. That said if you do want to exercise with your hound, you can definitely train them by gradually increasing the amount of exercise you do with them. We’ve met plenty of greyhounds that like going for a run with their owners (but we’ve also met plenty who are happy to snooze the day away on a comfy bed!).
3. They are great with kids: greyhounds are generally very patient with children and can make great family pets. However, we already recommend that dogs are supervised when with children as accidents can happen.
4. They are good apartment dogs: greyhounds are adaptable dogs that can be happy living in a variety of settings. They do not require a large yard to run around in and can do well in apartments or other small living spaces. As long as they’re able to be taken out daily for a walk, they’re happy!
