Aren greyhounds “hyper”?
– Quite the opposite. Being that Greyhounds have been breed for millennia to give a quick burst of blinding speed, they really have very little stamina and don’t need much activity to be happy. Think of that fast cat, the Cheetah. The Cheetah can run for only a short distance at 60mph, and spends the rest of the day lounging around. It’s the same with Greyhounds, only they tend to lounge around whether they get any exercise that day or not! That’s why they’re nicknamed “45 m.p.h. couch potatoes”.
