Do Greyhounds get along with other dog breeds? Greyhounds have been with other dogs their entire lives, so they enjoy the company of other dogs. They are gentle and docile by nature, and therefore adapt well in homes with other non-aggressive pets.
Do greyhounds get along with other greyhounds?
Like all dogs, some greyhounds can happily co-exist with other animals, while others can never be trusted, whilst others will show behaviour in between. Some greyhounds will be quite predatory towards other animals. Dogs are carnivores, and their ancestors had to hunt, chase and kill other animals in order to survive.
Can greyhounds get along with small dogs?
Greyhounds are by nature not an aggressive breed. They are generally accepting of other medium to large sized dogs. Introducing smaller dogs can sometimes take a little time but once the greyhound understands it is a dog they will be able to socialise safely.
Are greyhounds aggressive to other dogs?
Some dogs of any breed may show aggression when approached whilst asleep or even whilst awake on their bed. However it is relatively common in greyhounds. This condition could be due to an underlying behaviour disorder and therefore it is recommended to seek advice from a veterinary behaviour consultant.
Do greyhounds like to be in pairs?
Many Greyhound owners agree that adopting a pair of Greyhounds is the best practice. This way, they aren't being exposed (and potentially aggressive) towards other breeds. Also, sibling pairs who have been raised together are a common occurrence in the Greyhound community.
