Compatibilité
Guide de soins
Greyhounds need a comfortable bed and warm environment as they have thin coats and low body fat. They have a strong prey drive and must be kept on-lead near small animals. They are sensitive and need gentle handling.
Besoins en exercice
Moderate — daily walks and occasional short sprints in a secure area. They are sprinters, not endurance runners.
Toilettage
Minimal grooming. Weekly brush of their short, fine coat. They are naturally clean, low-odour dogs.
