I suppose as with all things it depends on the dog. Behaviour wise she’s generally amazing. Doesn’t soil in the house, is very calm / quiet and only requires 1 shortish walk a day (although we walk her a lot more), doesn’t bark at all (although whines a bit), is generally clean. Most cannot ever be let off the lead (unless an exceptional amount of training is done) as they will bolt after something and have never been taught recall. She can be a bit frisky and I wouldn’t trust her not to kill a cat if she caught one. She’s not aggressive at all, but they have a pretty drive & instinct to chase and bite fast moving. They almost always travel well in cars as are used to it from racing.
Greyhounds often struggle with being left alone as in kennels they are always around other dogs. We have had to work ours up to being left slowly. Most are ok with 4 hours but it may require some time and patience.
She is incredibly affectionate, goofy and I think whenever we next get a dog it’ll be a greyhound again. There are thousands who need homes.
Watched through the window as a greyhound killed the local pub cat, as the cat was sat waiting to be let in. It was Christmas. Ho Ho Ho.
Dont blame the dog at all, the bellend owner had it off its lead (was a main road as well), and then told the pitchfork wielding, angry locals it had killed cats before.
