Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A sprinter in the field, a sofa sleeper at home
The Greyhound is the fastest of the sighthounds, built for short explosive sprints. Indoors it is quiet, gentle and happiest curled on a sofa, but its strong chase instinct and thin coat need thoughtful handling outdoors.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Less than you might expect. About an hour a day plus the odd safe sprint is enough, and they spend most of the rest of the day sleeping.
Yes, they are quiet, clean and calm indoors, and many do well in flats as long as they get daily walks and somewhere soft to lie.
Only in securely fenced areas. Their chase instinct and speed mean recall cannot be relied on around small animals or traffic.
