No, greyhounds wear muzzles while racing because they have very thin skin and the competitive nature of a race may excite a dog and cause it to accidentally injure another dog.

Outside of races, some people put muzzles on their greyhounds while they're playing with other greyhounds for the same reason -- to prevent accidental injury of their thin skin.

Really, it depends! They can go from tiny puppies to big dogs! But even when they are big, they never seem to get in the way! Personally, I have a greyhound, and I think handling it as a puppy was harder than now, as an adult. Hope this helped! ( :

For as long as a greyhound lives, it can have pups with another dog. It will most likely have more pups with another greyhound!

The average sized litter for greyhounds is between 5 and 7 pups, so 6 would be the general average.

Iggys definitely look like they're as fast as a car, but their top recorded running speed is much closer to 30. Greyhounds will go about 40 and a thoroughbred horse will run 45. I also have one, and he's practically a blur when he gets moving. Part of that is the fact that you're watching them run against the grass.

best come in all different sizes usual female greyhound weigh bettween 25kg to 30kg and male greyhounds between 29kg to 38kg hope i answered ypur question

Greyhound gestation is approximately 60-65 days.

Usually 9 to 11 years. They make excellent house pets and are GREAT with children of any age despite their size and speed.

Actually, the average life expectancy of a racing greyhound according to greyhound friends for life (the racing adoption agency) is 12 -15 years. This is quite a larger number than the one above.

I guess you meant to say 'The'?

Greyhouds are thought to have come from Egypt, where simmilar dogs, such as Salukis and Pharoh Hounds came/come from.

Hope it helps!

if you adopt from a retired racer organization, its about $200 initally, a dollar a day to feed them high quality food, and of course vet visits can vary in frequency and price.

puppies can be very expensive, $1000 or more, depending on where you get them.

They are very fast! They can run up to 45mph, which is the same speed as a car! They are great at running off their previous running in races, andf if they ever came first, they could probably run to 37 mph now!

Well, a Whippet is a cross with a greyhound and another dog (commonly a terrier or a spaniel), so it depends on the strength of the other breeds. Although, greyhounds are taller and can run very fast but whippets are smaller and generally more stream lined! I'd say it's up to you but greyhounds are bred for racing!

A lab greyhound mix is a dog that has the coat of a lab combined with the sleek, lean body of a greyhound. These dogs have long backs and long tails. They tend to learn tricks and basic obedience with the eagerness of a labrador but they have the much quieter temperament of a greyhound. Like a greyhound, they frequently have quick short bursts of energy during the day when they want to run at top speed for a good five minutes before they tire themselves out, but unlike a greyhound they, are great off-leash dogs and will come when called. The same can be said for when they're in the presence of little fuzzy animals such as a squirrel or a small fluffy dog. Though lab/greyhound mixes will exhibit strong sight hound instincts, they miraculously can be called back whilst in the middle of a chase. This is fortunate as they are extremely fast.

Although they have webbed toes, lab/greyhounds tend not to like water as they do not have the body fat needed to float very well and find the water cold.


They they tend to be incredibly sweet dogs that for the most part are content to just lie around for a good portion of the day.

I greyhounds are pretty light there 40 to 45 pounds

around 5 years but if they still enjoy it carry on!!!

In Australia the majority of "champion" greyhounds will finish their racing careers well before the age of 4 years. Champion female greyhounds will probably go on to have puppies and champion males may go to stud. "Average" greyhounds (as long as they are injury free and as it says above, if they're still enjoying it) can carry on racing for as long as they want - there are a couple of greyhounds currently still racing at nearly 6 years of age!

You shouldn't really race them at all as its a cruel sport and they do not enjoy it themselves. I could say the same with horse racing.

it costs 40 dollars and for children 3 to 7 21 dollars.

Sorry ksmail but close try,

The greyhound is the fastest breed of all the dogs,however the red fox is the fastest of the canines, they can run up to 48 mph at tops.

Consolidating the fastest canine breeds is a difficult task, a red fox isn't 48 mph it's 41-44, whilst a greyhound is 45 mph which leaves the fastest canine; The Maned Wolf, which is approxamately 49-51 mph. Maned wolves are much larger than greyhounds, greyhounds can attain a body length of around 3 ft 7-4ft 5, whilst maned wolves can stand 6'4.5 upringht on their hind legs, and have legs as long as 40 inches. It's believed that the legs of the maned wolf is the longest of any canine, and their legs are somewhat slim like the greyhound, yet also longer than the greyhounds 32 inch legs. In summation, maned wolves are the fastest canines as they have extremely long legs aswell as a long body which makes it's stride longer.

45 mph
