Many people hesitate to adopt a retired racing greyhound because they worry that it will be nervous and will need a large space to run. This is a false impression. Greyhounds have naturally sweet, mild dispositions and are sprinters rather than distance runners; they are sufficiently exercised with a few laps around a fenced-in backyard every day. Greyhounds do not make good watchdogs, but they are very good with children, get along well with other dogs (and usually cats as well), and are very affectionate and loyal.
