My old bluey use to raid my strawberry patch and eat figs that fell off the tree. The new guy is a carnivore! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to adopt an ex race dog. A mate adopted one that suffered a career ending leg injury. Was an awesome dog, loved the couch, a pat and a few sprints around the yard. Also caught a few birds and an unfortunate cat that entered the yard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBillett09 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 @Hilltop hopsgreys truly make excellent pets, they like to sleep 25 hours a day on a lounge, bed or mat and either a few sprints around the yard or a 20-30 minute walk and they’re done and dusted for the day! There’s several adoption programs around like the Greyhound Adoption Program NSW that we get ours from and also Greyhounds As Pets NSW, and also variants for other states. https://www.gapnsw.org.au/home/ https://www.gapnsw.com.au 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having anything to do with greyhounds as pets, or racing; it puzzles me - I would have thought greyhounds would be running around 24/7, and be quite snappy and snarly?

Not having anything to do with greyhounds as pets, or racing; it puzzles me - I would have thought greyhounds would be running around 24/7, and be quite snappy and snarly? That is actually a pretty common misconception. Think of them like sprinting athletes, they have a short window burst of energy (spent either on zoomies in the yard/park or during about 20-30 minute walk) then otherwise they’re super lazy. As a breed they’re super placid, docile and friendly. As with any breed occasionally you find one that’s a bit snappy but it’s actually a rarity for greys. Generally speaking, Italian greys ar the smallest (handbag sized) and extremely timid and skittish, whippets are mid sized and more often a bit nippy, full Greyhounds are the largest but not chillax of them all. People get dogs for apartments and think “I’ll get a Maltese or a shitzhu or jack russel because they’re small” but my observation is they tend to need a fair amount of exercise and very yappy and noisy. Grey are actually extremely well suited to apartment life if they get a daily walk at least. They’re actually super quiet and very rarely if ever bark too. They’re really just big lounge lizards who can also occasionally run faster than a racehorse ; ) the adoption programs often have a few dogs at a stand at various shows and stuff, worth going and meeting them see what they’re like in person! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly they require very little exercise a walk in the morning and a bit of a run around the back yard then they take the rest of the day off. They are a very gentle dog that likes people. I have two one is an ex racer; 66 races, won some money for the owner then retired and handed over to GAP. The other one 18 months old and never raced, pictured. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
