Greyhound Puppies and Dogs

Many people know that the Greyhound is one of the most athletic dog breeds, but this dog doesn't really need to have demanding exercise activity. For the Greyhound, a very short part (minutes) of the day could be used up running almost forty miles an hour after an animal and the rest of the day might be spent occupying the couch.

keller Hogan Greyhound racers live much longer than 7 years and the only ones that get hormone injections are the females to keep them out of season. Please change this misleading information. Other than that this website is very informative. My name is Keller Hogan and I am a member of the National Greyhound Association and have been breeding and raising greyhounds for over 5 years now. Thank you. 9/5/2008
B. Hillman Your lifespan numbers are just wrong - you must be counting all the dogs that are killed immediately following their racing careers. Greyhound Friends and others put the lifespan numbers of racers at 12-15, which is my experience with a sample size of 1. 8/23/2008
Lynda This person does not know racing greyhounds. He states the average lifespan for a retired racer is 7 yrs due to steriod use. That is not correct. Their life span is 12-14 yrs. I just lost one at 14 and one at 13. Friend has one that will be 18 this month. 6/20/2007
Betty I love Greyhounds, I always wanted to be the woman who would be walking down the street with her greyhound and everyone would turn around and look at me as I passed them! (its my wacked out fantesy) 6/17/2007
christine This obviously shows their stubbornness and unwillingness to follow yet this stubborn streak is only shown frequently.


this does not make sense.
