About Greyhounds – Temperament

Although greyhounds are extremely fast and athletic, they are not high-energy dogs. They are sprinters, and love running, but they do not require extensive exercise. Most are quiet, gentle animals. An adult greyhound will stay healthy and happy with a daily walk of as little as 20 to 30 minutes. Greyhounds are often referred to as “Forty-five mile per hour couch potatoes.”
