The greyhound is a wonderful choice of breed to adopt into
your family. Greyhounds are bred to race at high speeds,and once they are
retired from the track, the dogs need to find forever homes. There are organizations
that hold in the ex-racers and abet to position them. Lisa Sallie, or the president of Grateful Greyhounds,says, “Greyhounds
make a great companion dog, and regardless if you are an active family or a retired
couple looking for a pal.” In terms of their demeanor,greyhounds
are smooth and relaxed, and they enjoy going for walks and a escape around a fenced
in yard to stretch their legs. “They are a mellow breed, and more often than not are found sound
asleep on the sofa,” said Sallie. The breed is also very respectable around children,
which makes greyhounds a great choice for a family. Here
is a list of other breeds that are respectable for children. An important fact for potential owners to know is that the
greyhound is a sight hound. “That means that the dog needs to be on lead at all times unless in a fenced in area, and ” says
Sallie. “If the greyhound sees a rabbit or something that catches her interest,it will be natural for the hound to investigate.”
