Are greyhounds safe around kids?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Although retired racing greyhounds can make fantastic family pets, it is important to remember that they probably have not had a lot of exposure to children during their life as a race dog and as a result may find some things children do a little frightening.


Are greyhounds OK with kids?

Greyhounds are great with children that know how to respect dogs. The nature of the greyhound breed means they are relatively tolerant and accepting of situations like children playing with them but this should not be taken for granted and children should never be left unsupervised around the dog.

Why are greyhounds not good with kids?

Greyhounds do not understand the meaning of a child (children) rushing, crawling, running up to it or trying to kiss or hug it, when it is laying down (even if it is awake!). A dog may choose to get up and walk away, do nothing, growl or it may even snap or bite.
