Greyhounds were bred for racing and they’re known for their incredible speed and energy. In fact, they can exceed speeds of 40 mph! Greyhounds are gentle and intelligent, and very affectionate with their family.
One aspect that owners might have trouble with is that if let outside off-leash, this dog breed has a tendency to take off running, which can be dangerous with street traffic. It’s recommended that owners have a backyard fence with a minimum height of 4-6 feet to prevent a Greyhound from jumping the fence and running into the street.
