Greyhounds and Lurchers (mix of greyhound/sighthound and other breeds) are notorious in the UK for being vicious. Of course, the reputation is undeserved and has everything to do with the owners.

Obviously Pit Greyhounds, bred for their inherent ferocity by Liberal-voting, Thug Drug Dealers on welfare.

Greyhounds are more aggressive than the local city buses. But school buses attack more kids.

Track rescue greyhounds were very dangerous to the small pets of some of our clients when I was working in an animal clinic. The greyhounds were fine with the humans, but they could be quite vicious to each other; usually they had to be muzzled in case smaller animals hove into view. One racing female came in with her huge muscled haunches full of teeth marks from her kennel mates.

A chipmunk would probably survive a greyhound attack

Lots of owners of greyhounds here in Florida. They are adopted when they retire them from racing. The ones I've seen are very docile. They are pretty much couch potatoes!!

PetSmart has greyhound adoption day & there are usually 10 to 15 greyhound owners that bring their dogs for a gathering. The dogs all seem to get along fine with other dogs & people.

So cute!! The dogs wear bandanas & are very friendly & like to be petted. Some owners own two or more. We have quite a few greyhounds that are walked through our neighborhood. I have never seen a muzzled greyhound.

The dogs are trained to chase the rabbit at the track, so small dogs would be like prey to them - especially one that is running.

I never take dogs to parks, let alone dog parks. That’s why they never contract communicable dog diseases or acquire parasites.
