About the Greyhound

The Greyhound is a large dog breed originating in England / Egypt (ancient). Adult dogs typically weigh 55 to 80 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as gentle, calm, high-prey-drive, couch-loving.

Households wanting a quiet, affectionate dog that sprints briefly then sleeps 16–18 hours a day. Secure fencing is essential. Homes with free-roaming cats or small pets, or anyone planning off-leash use in unfenced areas.

Adult Greyhounds need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is short-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.

Common health concerns for Greyhounds

  • Anesthesia sensitivity
    Very low body fat means sighthounds metabolise anesthesia differently; tell your vet the dog is a Greyhound before any procedure. Source: VCA →
  • Bloat (gastric dilation-volvulus)
    Deep-chested breed at elevated risk; feed two smaller meals rather than one large. Source: ACVS →
  • Osteosarcoma
