Greyhounds are quiet, clean, gentle, good-natured dogs that adapt and get along with other animals and children. With proper care, greyhounds have a life expectancy of 12 or more years. They do not require large amounts of exercise. A nice long walk 3 or 4 times a week, plus a sprint once or twice a week on a grassy open space is good. Housebreaking is easy.
Greyhounds are kennel-broken.
They have been trained to go outside and to keep their kennels clean. Walk them frequently at first, and they quickly learn that their new home is the place they keep clean and that outside is where they go to relieve themselves. It is not unusual for an adopted greyhound to be completely housebroken right from the start.
