Children Being gentle, patient and sensitive, greyhounds live with families having children quite well. Greyhounds tend to walk away if play becomes too much, rather than snap. However, all children should be supervised by an adult when playing with any dog, and they must be taught to respect the greyhound's personal space, especially when the grey is sleeping. Other Pets Introducing your greyhound to other family pets should be done slowly and with a muzzle until all family members are comfortable. Many greyhounds live harmoniously with cats inside the home, and Greyhounds Unlimited has foster homes for cat testing.
Greyhounds are sight hounds which means they hunt by sight.
They do not know about cars either and could easily be hit if they are running loose. They are very good on a lead, so you won't have any problems walking or running with them, once they are used to the routine. They are sprinters, so they need to be trained for longer distances at a slower pace. Mik Wilkens Design Inc. Web site maintained by the GU Webmaster .
