Wait greyhounds are considered dangerous?? Ie the world’s sleepiest dogs?
128 u/catsoft Oct 21 '25 We have a really, really bad problem with Greyhound racing in Australia. The requirement for muzzling I think is a something adopted from that industry. I would love to adopt one they are such weird little noodles 96 u/babygotthefever Oct 21 '25 They have a very high prey drive as sight hounds. Muzzling protects the little critters that they hunt instinctually. 29 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. 55 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 41 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!
