Greyhounds are great running dogs known for their fierce running speed (40-45 miles an hour). Their long legs and slender build make them champions in dog competitions and especially dog races. Since greyhound racing has pretty much become a thing of the past, retired greyhounds have become popular as good family dogs. Who knew, but these dogs are very gentle and laid-back. They love to cuddle and don’t require much exercise to keep them healthy and satisfied.  They tend to weigh 60-80 pounds, and on average live up to 15 years old.
