Greyhounds have all the advantages of breeding and training when it comes to being a good pet. Their temperment makes them wonderful around children and friends. Their intelligence and breed make them perfect house pets, clean, quiet, and a loving companion. The most common misconception concerning greyhounds is that they are hyperactive. It is actually the opposite.
Greyhounds are a gentle, mild, quiet animal by nature.
A greyhound coming into your home will be very puppy like, curious, and affectionate. Everything is brand new to a retired greyhound, but remember they are very smart. Certain house manners will have to be learned as greyhounds have never seen anything of family life. Stairs, cats, mirrors, cars, etc. are all things you will have to teach your greyhound. When going up stairs, you will need to place your dogs feet one at a time and help it along.
