Greyhound owners and adoption groups consider Greyhounds to be wonderful pets.[8]
Greyhounds are quiet, gentle, and loyal to owners. They are very loving creatures, and they enjoy the company of their humans and other dogs. Whether a Greyhound enjoys the company of other small animals or cats depends on the individual dog's personality. Greyhounds will typically chase small animals; those lacking a high 'prey drive' will be able to coexist happily with toy dog breeds and/or cats. Many owners describe their Greyhounds as "45 mile per hour couch potatoes".[9]
Greyhounds live most happily as pets in quiet environments[citation needed]. They do well in families with children as long as the children are taught to treat the dog properly and with politeness and appropriate respect[citation needed]. Greyhounds have a sensitive nature, and gentle commands work best as training methods[citation needed].
Greyhounds cope well as three legged dogs.[10]
Occasionally, a Greyhound may bark; however, Greyhounds are generally not barkers, which is beneficial in suburban environments, and they are usually as friendly to strangers as they are with their own family.[11]
A very common misconception regarding Greyhounds is that they are hyperactive. In retired racing Greyhounds, this is usually not the case.[12] Greyhounds can live comfortably as apartment dogs, as they do not require much space and sleep close to 18 hours per day. In fact, due to their calm temperament, Greyhounds can make better "apartment dogs" than smaller, more active breeds.
At some race tracks, Greyhounds are housed in large spacious crates for sleeping in. Most such animals know no other way of life than to remain in a crate the majority of the day. Crate training a retired Greyhound in a home is therefore generally extremely easy.
Many Greyhound adoption groups recommend that owners keep their Greyhounds on a leash whenever outdoors, except in fully enclosed areas.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] This is due to their prey-drive, their speed, and the assertion that Greyhounds have no road sense.[21] In some jurisdictions, it is illegal for Greyhounds to be allowed off-lead[citation needed], even in off-lead dog parks, so it is important to be familiar with the relevant local laws and regulations. However, a good run at least once a week is important, especially for younger Greyhounds, and suitable areas can usually be found. Due to their size and strength, adoption groups recommend that fences be between 4 and 6 feet, to prevent them from jumping out.[13
