The detail

The classic sighthound, bred to chase game by sight at speeds over 40 miles per hour, the Greyhound is a sprinter rather than a marathoner. Gentle, quiet and happy to sleep most of the day, it needs a safe place to run and should not be trusted off leash.

What to weigh

Greyhounds chase anything that runs and can reach a road before you call them. Their thin skin tears easily, they feel the cold, and many cannot live with cats or small pets.
