Do all greyhounds have that muscular build, or just ex/racing ones? Very nice looking dog.

Lush dog mate, always loved greyhounds and would have some if I lived near land for them to run around. Love going to the dogs aswell, she looks in awesome shape.

beautiful dog. I have a greyhound cross wippet, also with a little of something else chucked in there. She is a great dog, although being 7 and having a heart murmur she is still a lively little dog. Parents have thought about a retired greyhound but our dogs to violent to others so it cant be done unfortunately.

Well done on getting a retired greyhound though, they usually dont get a good life during there racing years or after so nice one

We've had six rescue greys, got three at the moment, beautiful dogs.

greyhound facts.

they are the only animals exempt from the animal welfare act, ie not illegal to mistreat them.

they are recognised as the oldest breed of domesticated dog.

other breeds DNA can be traced back to wolves, greyhounds DNA cannot be traced back as it is different.

greyhounds can not be given blood transfusions from other breeds, although greyhounds blood is used widely for other dogs.

David Smith, a builder from Seaham, county durham, is estimated to have killed over 10,000 healthy (but unwanted) greyhounds on his property.
He did nothing illegal in killing the dogs (£10 per dog). he was prosecuted by the environment agency as his only crime was unauthorised disposal of controlled waste (the corpses of dogs). he buried the dogs in lime filled pits on his land.

Just a generalisation, your dog might be different but sight hounds, particularly those trained to race can be a little bit risky off the lead in a public place. They will chase and attempt to kill any small fluffy thing that moves, including small dogs. Ours would go after rabbits that were a good few hundred metres away and they don't give up easily.

I prefer these ones. They don't shit everywhere.

I'm sure I either read or watch tv about them making great pets and not needing to be walked as much as people would think. I personally don't like the look of them, but I would never do one any harm.

They don't need a lot of exercise and they rarely run anywhere. Older ones can be hard to train, especially since you have to teach them to recall to a name that means nothing to them. The biggest problem we have had with rehoming was that they were food obsessed and emotionally weak. One cried every night for two weeks despite being kept with other dogs and would take food from the bin.

We had to return one dog after three days when he ran and jumped at my wife and our lurcher bitch decided to defend her and attacked him. Other than that they make great pets, all the ones we had were very good on the lead.

Love these dogs, Have a lurcher myself Great temperament.

We only had problems with the first one we got. But he'd been re homed with two other familys that had taken him back.
He was very nervous, and would back away into a corner, any approach after that resulted in him baring his teeth and growling. Obviously he had been badly treated somewhere down the line.

Stupid sister in law tried to approach him (despite being told to leave him alone) result was she said she wouldn't come back to visit till we got rid of the dog, she didn't take it too well when I said "bye then, been nice knowing you"

It took the best part of a year to sort the dog out, and get him relaxed and settled. It was the most rewarding experience though.

i have a Lurcher as well, greyhound crossed with a border collie..

i think hes pretty much the perfect family pet, hes laid back in the house loves a cuddle, well behaved off the lead ( a bit of a monster on it at first),

hes chuffing quick though and as others have said, any small furry rodents, ( Rabbits squirrell's and even rats ), are fair game to him, and if he see's one he will catch it, as thats whats in his blood lines, that said most of the ones round here are used to dogs and run when the see one.

This is Jack... ages 20 weeks
