Greyhound

Whether your buying a new dog or simply looking for a shelter that will help you adopt a new pet, Insurance4Britain.com is the place to look for all your pet and pet insurance needs.

The Greyhound is a breed of dog that has been primarily bred for hunting game and more recently racing. Their combination of long, powerful legs, deep chest and aerodynamic build allows them to reach speeds of up to 72 km/h (45 mph) in less than one and a half seconds - or within 3 strides.

Indoors, they are calm and social and unbelievably can even be rather lazy! They are intelligent, sensitive dogs that can make ideal family pets. Whilst they are gentle by nature, their natural hunting instinct is always present. They are gentle, even tempered and affectionate with their families, but can be aloof with strangers. They usually get on well with other dogs in the household but with cats, owners should be cautious.

Greyhounds are loving and well behaved dogs and are particularly good with children. Because of their nature as sprinters, Greyhounds have relatively low endurance and should be given the opportunity to sleep when desired. Their lifespan is considered to be 10-12 years.
