For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.they make wonderful pets - need a couple of 'bursts on their banjo' twice daily to keep them in shape - appreciate a couch to sleep on (they're very good at this) and enjoy being with you and being involved (when they're not sleeping of course) Usually have the most divine nature and are very loving. Can be prone to damaging the last joint of the tail because they wag it and knock into furniture and maybe knock up a toe joint from time to time if they gallop on rough ground. Every breed has it's problems so they are certainly no worse than anyother breed - better than most - they are loving and friendly animals, a pleasure to be around. Really brilliant with people. Just a note that as they are sight dogs and bred to chase quarry, they need to be on a lead if there is ever a chance they may chase something particularly if they are near traffic and many owners muzzle them in public just in case they chase a smaller animal. Having said that they are fabulous, fabulous animals and make amazing pets. Let us know what you decide!
Ditto. Only drawback is they tend to help themselves to food if you are daft enough to leave it within reach - and most can reach quite high up! They are not natural thieves, but when kennelled have only had acces to food that was for them, so they think they can just help themselves.
A nice warm bed - a double duvet folded in half is fine - and good food - they appreciate a breakfast (cereal and powdered milk such as lamlac) and a soaked evening meal of meal and biscuits (you can get greyhound complete food quite cheaply from any pet supermarket) just add meat or scraps from your meals. A nice knuckle bone will help their teeth as often they have grotty teeth having had sloppy food most of their lives. A warm coat for walking out in in the cold weather. Two will keep each other company and they hardly take up any more room (until they stretch out!). Most of them walk nicely on a lead, and they have had all their vaccinations, and they are only being rehomed because they have either finished racing or didn't take to it, not because they have been problem dogs. Easy to groom, just a quick rub down with a chamois leather or soft brush once or twice a week.
