It has an elegant temperament, beautiful body structure, alertness, rich emotions and rules. The gait is smooth when walking and as fast as flying when running.

Now for training, artificial mechanical rabbits are used to let them do chasing activities.

Feeding instructions

The Greyhound has no habit of guarding its owner and does not like to bark or attack strangers; it is afraid of the cold and lies lazily in a warm and comfortable place most of the time. However, once he finds prey or something for him to play with, he will show amazing speed and agility.

Greyhounds need 40 to 60 minutes of exercise every day, and the amount of exercise for adult dogs is about 10 kilometers per day. Due to the greyhound's explosive power and speed, the short, smooth back hair makes it very susceptible to injuries, especially scrapes and fractures. The lifespan of a Greyhound is approximately 9 to 15 years. However, due to the use of certain hormone drugs, some racing greyhounds can only live about 7 years.

The kennel is a necessary place for Greyhounds to live and live. Therefore, the quality of the kennel structure directly affects the health of the Greyhound. Kennels should be reasonably constructed according to the scale of breeding and local conditions. The construction site should be chosen in a place with flat terrain, dry geology, sufficient light, convenient drainage, solidity and safety. The kennel and its internal facilities must be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure the integrity of the kennel.

The kennel should be cleaned every day and kept clean. Wash frequently during hot summer to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases. In addition to keeping it clean, the kennel should be disinfected regularly. In spring, summer and autumn, disinfection is required twice a month. Before disinfecting, pull the Greyhound away from the kennel, prepare the disinfectant according to the instructions, and then spray it evenly in every corner of the kennel. One hour after disinfection, rinse the ground with clean water, and then take the greyhound back to the kennel after it is dry.

Select a strong, energetic and well-developed greyhound as a breeding dog according to the required body shape and coat color. Create a lifelong record card for the breeding dog, recording its name, gender, birth date, parents and health status, etc. Seeds should be reserved according to the male to female ratio of 4:1 to 6:1. Generally, 1 male dog and 2-3 female dogs are fed in the same field. During the estrus season of female dogs, male dogs need to be fed in separate cages. When the male dog is 1.5 to 2 years old, the female dog is ready for mating when the age is 1 to 1.5 years old.
