[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Did the greyhounds try to run out the door? How did you get them enough exercise?[/quote]

Running out the door is a training issue.  Train an incompatible behavior--Door opens, dog runs to crate, or hand on door knob, dog's butt on the floor.  Realize that if there is a cat on your driveway, most all dogs will attempt to get out the door to chase it if not trained to stay.

+1 to the PP who said greyhounds are sprinters, not marathoners.  They really only need a few walks or play sessions a day.

[quote=Anonymous]Are greyhounds good with kids? Are they food-obsessed?[/quote]

"Good with kids" is a dog specific thing more than breed specific.  Are your kids good with dogs?  Do they know not to approach the dog, to let it seek out attention?  Do they know to leave it alone when it goes to it's safe spot (crate/bed)?

No, they are generally not food obsessed.  They are a docile, gentle breed who tend to sleep the majority of the day and release their energy in short bursts.[/quote]
