Like any family dog, however, they need regular exercise to maintain their good health. A nice long walk on the leash, three or four times a week is recommended. Greyhounds are wonderfully outgoing, friendly and non-aggressive. These wonderfully intelligent animals adapt very quickly to life off the track. Most often, housebreaking a greyhound is simply a matter of showing your greyhound the designated area and then giving him or her a few days to adjust to your schedule.
Greyhounds love children and other pets.
Greyhounds possess one of the best temperaments of all dog breeds. Gentle, patient and sensitive, they make an ideal companion for children and seniors alike. Because they live with other greyhounds their whole lives, they are remarkably compatible with other pet dogs. Cats, however, are unknown to greyhounds and a little extra time and patience is required to ensure household harmony. Greyhounds adore romping and frolicking outdoors, but after play time, they belong indoors.
