Different breeds, are susceptible to different genetic conditions. Please seek out the Kennel Club in your country, and see the current recom
to extreme temperature (heat and cold). Make sure that where they sleep is dry and draught free. CHARACTER
They are calm and sociable indoors, perhaps even downright lazy. These dogs are intelligent, sensitive, bond strongly with their own people, have tremendous stamina, and do not bark much. Greyhounds are not particularly vigilant. TRAINING
Compared with the other fleet-footed keen-eyed hunters, the Greyhound is reasonably easy to train. They can learn almost all commands and are fairly obedient, except when they have set their eyes on a prey. At these moments they ignore all your commands. In some countries dogs of this entire group are not allowed out unless they remain on a lead, not just because of the danger they could present for wild animals but also the danger to themselves and road users. SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

Trotting alongside a cycle is a good alternative for working off the dog's energy. It does not really matter how the dog gets its exercise provided it gets enough. SPECIAL REMARKS
Greyhounds which race differ quite a bit from those which must do well in the show ring. They are a very healthy breed and can live quite long.
