What greyhounds are like to live with

Many greyhounds in UK rescue are retired racing dogs. The Greyhound Trust says most retire from racing between three and five years old, so a rescue greyhound is usually a young adult rather than a puppy. The Royal Kennel Club notes that the greyhound seen in the show ring is larger and heavier than the racing greyhound.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.
