They are a very Loving, Affectionate, Sensitive, Intelligent Gentle Breed of Dog and are always very eager to please and most are great with kids and elderly people and will love to welcome your visitors with licks and hug's. |

Most Greyhounds can be trained quite easily to Cats and Small animals and yes you can get some that are not good with them because of their training, but hey some of the regular dogs are like that as well, some greyhounds will tend to chase and harm cats and other small animals. Others will simply ignore them. |

They are not as demanding as other dogs and only need two walks a day with a run off the lead a couple of times a week. . Greyhounds are good at being lazy and a lot of us like to call them couch potatoes as they like nothing better than lying out on the couch for most of the day and they can sleep for up to 18 hours per day. Just watch a Greyhounds expression and reaction to rain when you want to take them for a walk and then you will see how much exercise they need (and we all know how wet Ireland can be). Because Greyhounds have short coats and lose very little hair they make suitable Pets for people with allergies and they do not need any special diet as they eat the same food as a regular dog. And by the way Lurchers are just as great as Greyhounds to own! Would you like to adopt a Greyhound! Why not contact your local Rescue??? Click Here To see some Beauties on Irish Animals.

Animals move in a older and more complete world than ours gifted with instincts we have lost or never attained and communicating by means we shall never understand. They are not lesser creatures, nor are they our brothers, they are other nations, other spirits sharing with us the splendour and darkness of life on our planet. |

GREYHOUNDS make GREAT PETS: A huge amount of Greyhounds never make the grade for racing and many more are retired due to injuries or lack of speed and age. And the best news is that they make great pets and are very popular all over Europe and the trend is catching on here in Ireland. The word "Grey" does not refer to their Colour, But is an Old Saxon Word for a Running Dog. |
