Do Greyhounds Need Lots of Exercise?

Contrary to what a lot of people think, greyhounds are more like sprinters than marathon runners. This means most of them only require a 15-20 minute walk each day. Many can sleep for up to 20 hours a day so are great for families and busy working couples. Like with anything, there are exceptions to the rule, and some greyhounds will require more or less exercise dependent on their energy levels and age. There is a greyhound suitable to everyone’s activity level and home environment.
Greyhounds require much less room than other breeds of a similar size and will often be found curled up somewhere in the home. We have greyhounds living in studio apartments, units, and townhouses, as well as large homes and rural properties. They are well suited to most environments.
