Can a pit bull outrun a greyhound and how close would it be?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it was in the mood then biologically yes. A greyhound runs a 37-43 mph ( very rarely exceeds 40 mph, so 37-39 mph greyhound). A guinea pig runs at 39-47 mph, however such sprints can only last for 5-15 seconds. So the cavy could outrun the sighthound, but it would need a crevice to run into, and fast.

How many greyhounds are bred for racing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Too many.

The situation has improved in the past few years, as the ndustry creates and supports adoption groups to find homes for greyhounds after their racing careers end. However, not all retired greyhounds are lucky enough to be adopted, and many of the unlucky ones end up being euthanized.

Individuals who wish to help can contact their local greyhound track, as volunteers are welcome. Those able to adopt a greyhound will find that they make excellent pets. Greyhounds are intelligent, loyal, affectionate, docile dogs. They are not, as a rule, high-strung, as many may think. Greyhounds are excellent around children. Also, their racing training makes them easy to handle; they are obedient and responsive when around others and when walking on a leash.

Is a greyhound the second fastest land animal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The greyhound is the fastest dog - with a top speed around 46 mph, but there are several mammals faster than it. Of course the cheetah is considered the fastest - with a top speed around 68 mph (and as much as 75 mph for very short distances), but it can only sustain it's high speed for a short time so at longer distances a greyhound could actually catch up and pass one in a hypothetical race. Other animals that are faster than a greyhound include:

Hare - top speed ~50 mph

Blackbuck antelope - top speed ~50 mph

Lion - top speed ~50 mph

Wildebeest - top speed ~50 mph

Springbok antelope - top speed ~55 mph

Pronghorn - top speed ~55 mph

Ostrich - top speed ~60 mph

How many lengths can a greyhound run in 1 second?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A greyhound, which can run almost 45 miles per hour for a limited time, can cover about 14 standard greyhound lengths in one second, or about .07 seconds per length. A standard greyhound length is considered to be right at four feet in length.

The better greyhounds will cover 5/16th of a mile (550 yards, 1650 feet) in about 30 seconds, or about 55 feet per second. This would correlate to the average greyhound span of a bit under four feet from nose to rump.

A European brown hare can sprint at speeds of 45 MPH for about the same distance as a Greyhound. A racehorse can gallop at speeds of 40 to 50 MPH for 440 yards to 2 miles.
