Other than household things I don't know much about the breed. heath problems and the such... I know they love to run and are very friendly. Mine's extremely tolerant but I dunno if that's a breed trait...

Oh... retired racers HATE stairs. (especially wied ones... spiral, ect. )

Greyhounds, on whoel, I've found to be timid... not the bravest of dogs. 100% NOT good watchdogs... They'll lick a stranger before bite them. (It's been proven! lol... they don't show mercy on plush toys though! They're a grey favourite )
