Description
Most Greyhounds available for adoption range in age from two to five years. They stand between 26 and 29 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 50 and 80 pounds, depending on their sex. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors - ranging from black, to fawn, to red, or any shade of brindle, and even blue (grey)-- or a combination of these with white. You can expect to have a long and happy time with your ex-racer, given that their life span is estimated at twelve to fifteen years.
Retired racing Greyhounds have a short velvet, and smooth coat- no "doggie" odor- and minimal shedding. They are clean, gentle and good-natured, quiet dogs that get along well with children and other pets. Greyhounds were raised with their littermates where they competed for affection, they love becoming the center of attention. They are eager to please and respond positively to any attention given to them! They are grateful for their new homes, rewarding their owners with never-ending love and affection.
There is a common misconception among those un familiar with ex-racers that they are hyperactive. They are not! In truth, Greyhounds sleep a lot. At the track, life consisted of a race that might last 30 seconds, every 2-3 days, followed by lots of time lying around in a crate. A common expression among Greyhound parents is that their pet is a "40 mph Couch Potato".
