However, even the docile greyhound has its limits. Small children are often curious and don't always realize what causes pain to a dog. For that reason, the introduction of the greyhound to the kids is critical. Kids are natural touchers, pokers and tasters of things that interest them. If a dog's tail interests them, they may try to pull it.
Someone has to define the limits for the kids and the greyhounds.
That someone is you, the adopter, and your supervision can lay the foundation of a mutual friendship between the greyhound and the children which will last for many years. Greyhounds and Other Pets Greyhounds are a sociable breed. They try hard to get along well with other dogs, but that doesn't mean that they will never get into conflicts over turf, status, food and possessions. Whenever two strange dogs are first introduced and asked to share what was once the property of only one of them, there will inevitably have to be some adjustments. With your help, chances are very good that they will come to like each other and enjoy each other's company.
