Temperament Sensitive, sweet and elegant. Brave and loyal, but can be willful. The Greyhound is very intelligent, but its character is often undervalued because of its reserved behavior toward its master and toward strangers. Socialize them at an early age to prevent timidity. The Greyhound is an affectionate, gentle, graceful creature that has kept human beings company for thousands of years.
Greyhounds have a definite prey instinct.
It is instinctive for these dogs to chase anything that moves quickly. They seldom present difficulties with other dogs and are normally good with children. Indoors, these dogs are calm and sociable to a point where they can even be considered lazy. They bond strongly with their own people, have tremendous stamina, and do not bark much. Greyhounds are not particularly vigilant.
