How long does an adopted greyhound usually live?

11-12 years. They’re a large breed.

An Italian Greyhound or Whippet takes up less space and is a longer-lived sighthound dog.

I’ve known a couple 16 year old greyhounds but 12 years seems common. Cancer seems to take a large percentage by age 5~6. We used to be coordinators for Greyhounds pets of America on the Southwest side of Houston.
