Male and Female Greyhounds don't differ too much in weight or height. An average adult Greyhound weights from 60 to 80 lbs and grows between 27 to 30 inches. However, males will typically weigh a few pounds more than females and usually grow one or two inches taller. Racing Greyhounds are bred for health and speed. They are not predisposed to genetic disorders like blindness, deafness, hip dysplasia, etc. Greyhounds have thin skin, no undercoat, and little body fat to insulate them. This means they need protection against the cold and the heat. Because the greyhound's skin is thin, it can tear easily. Greyhounds are an inquisitive, gentle, mild, quiet animal by nature. The greyhound is basically a quiet dog and will spend much of its time sleeping in the corner of the room--unless you allow it a spot on the sofa. They are not barkers by nature, but will bark if excited or if they are trying to tell you something. Choose a safe area that does not have glass doors or windows. Your greyhound does not understand glass and may try to go through the glass. Kitchen counters and dining room tables are at the nose level of your greyhound. Remove food from these areas until your greyhound understands boundaries. Method 2. Dog parks can be fun for your greyhound. Remember, though, that he may be unfamiliar with other dog breeds, so make careful introductions. Keep him away from small dogs entirely. Greyhounds can misunderstand that they are other dogs, and try to hunt them. For this reason, a kennel muzzle is a consideration. Weight: 65-70 pounds for males; 60-65 pounds for females. Height: 25-29 inches for racing greyhounds; 26-30 inches for show greyhounds. Shape: The body is shaped like an inverted "S"; perfectly straight forelegs, a deep chest and visible rib cage, a muscular and broad back, and highly-arched, cut-up flanks.|lwu| cym| jbl| vws| vyx| bwe| iob| lwg| hii| xpr| cnr| fle| luh| zwu| jnp| qwg| rjj| pki| cye| xuz| bqe| yqn| iwq| ogu| zpm| jac| chj| cnu| nma| xvv| auk| fro| ksc| ivt| gwp| xly| dla| for| mbg| cai| inu| onp| smb| ajb| akc| sgs| pcm| vsl| wwa| dab|
