Greyhounds have been bred with four goals in mind-speed, health, intelligence, and sociability. As pet owners, we don't care how fast our dog is, but good health, intelligence, and a good disposition make a superior pet over a dog bred for appearance. Their natural good nature along with the constant handling they receive in the racing kennel make them good with other pets, children, and your friends. This, their intelligence, and their cleanliness make them ideal house pets.
Greyhounds are kennel trained.
They have spent all their lives in their own crate, and don't want to mess where they live. They are let outside several times during the day to relieve themselves. A greyhound has never had to tell anyone that it had to go out. Until you learn to communicate you should take your dog out frequently. Playtime comes only after he has gone.
