Q. What is their life expectancy?
A. Greyhounds have a life expectancy of 12 years or more.
This holds true for ex-track dogs, as well as other greyhounds.

Q. How much does it cost to own a greyhound?
A. Greyhounds cost about a dollar a day to feed and all the
love you can afford.

Q. Are they good with children?
A. More so than other breeds. They are not as playful as
puppies of course, being mature dogs but they are very
tolerant of children and would usually walk away rather than
growl or snap if children become overbearing. This is not to
say however, that they can be tormented for long periods of
time and still not growl or snap, since, like most dogs,
greyhounds also have their limits.

Q. How are they with other pets?
A. Since they live with other greyhounds all their lives, they are
remarkably compatible with other pet dogs. Cats, however,
are unknown to greyhounds and a little extra time and
patience is required to insure household harmony. It is easily
achieved.

Q. Are greyhounds housebroken?
A. Greyhounds are kennel-broken, which means they are
trained to go outside and keep their kennels clean. Walk them
frequently at first, and they will quickly learn that their new
home is the place they keep clean and outside is the place
where they go. Another thing that will make it easier to
housebreak your greyhound is to limit the area in the house in
which he allowed to roam. This helps him to identify the area
he must keep clean.

Q. Do greyhounds need a lot of exercise?
A. Unless you have a fenced-in yard, greyhounds should be
walked 3 or 4 times a day -primarily to empty themselves-and
taken to an enclosed grassy area where they can sprint once
or twice a week. Greyhounds also make excellent jogging
companions after they have been trained to go at the new
pace and distance for, like any athlete, they need to be built up
in order to accompany their owners for anything longer than a
sprint

Q. What kind of pets do ex-track greyhounds
make?
A. Greyhounds are very affectionate, friendly dogs who thrive
on attention and human companionship and make terrific
pets once they get used to their new homes. Raised with their
littermates, where they compete for affection, greyhounds
really love becoming the center of attention as pets.
