Couch Potato Greys

Are you looking for a companion? Determine if a greyhound is the right breed for you. If you are interested in a gentle, loving companion then a greyhound may be the pet for you. Our dogs are placed as an inside pet. They are lovable and very social animals that crave human companionship and want to be with their own family. If you are looking for a pet that you only spend a few minutes with a day, or few hours each weekend, you may want to consider another breed.

You need to be willing to make a lifetime commitment to the greyhound. Typically the average greyhound is in the range of 2-5 year old, and has a life span of 12-14 years. You will be resonsible for the caring of your greyhound for the next 10 years, including all vet and health care expenses.

If you have young children, is the greyhound the pet for you? If your children are under the age of 5 years old, we will use our discretion on whether or not to place a greyhound in your home. Greyhounds are usually good with children, but some can be afraid of some of the behavior displayed by active toddlers. They don't tolerate rough play, like some of the other breeds, and their ability to generate a 35 mph speed in 3 steps does not combine well with babies and young children, who can be knocked down by a playful greyhound.

Greyhounds have spent their entire life in the company of their own breed. They are friendly, social, and quickly adapt to other breeds. Being a natural hunter, they have the potential to inadvertently hurt small animals. You have to realize that cats and small fluffy dogs are about the size of the racing lure they have been trained to chase. Most learn to accept other animals as part of the family, however some with a high prey drive must live in greyhound only home environment.

We are very particular on how and where we place our greyhounds. We are interested in the long term care and safety of them. Unfortunatley with the economy today, there are unusual circumstances that may require the greyhound to be returned. All we ask is that you contact us on the matter of the return, as we will do what is best for the greyhound.
