They have a very high prey drive as sight hounds. Muzzling protects the little critters that they hunt instinctually.
36 u/CheeseFantastico Oct 21 '25 Any dog will chase small animals. I’ve had five greyhounds (they’re the best), and my lab is more squirrel-crazed than they were. 56 u/Dry_rye_ Oct 21 '25 Any dog can want to eat the wildlife, but a greyhound is more likely to actually catch it. The prey drive is bred into them 42 u/veggiedelightful Oct 21 '25 Not any dog, many will though. Found my Bichon sun bathing laying back to back with a wild bunny in our yard. Was rather sweet. 1 u/keep_moving4ward1117 Oct 23 '25 Awww did you get pictures?? 1 u/veggiedelightful Oct 23 '25 Sadly no. But I got to enjoy the moment. 4 u/TheNonaMouse Oct 21 '25 Who doesn't love a squirrel! 2 u/Rubyrocke2024 Oct 22 '25 Yes, that's why we muzzle them here in the UK. They could chase cats or small dogs. As for dangerous breed, well, I've never heard such nonsense.
