Busting the Top 5 Myths About Grafton Greyhounds

 As the champion sprinter of dogdom, the Greyhounds are sweet-tempered, noble, and gentle with an independent spirit. These hounds have been fascinating for the poems, kings, and artists for an extended period. In addition, the greyhounds are great for high-spirit pursuit, from aerodynamic skills to the shock-absorbing pads of the feet. Thus, if you want to invest your time and money in the Grafton greyhound race, here are the five myths you need to stop believing.

Myth 1 – Greyhounds are Hyperactive

 

Greyhounds are known to be the laziest of the dogs! However, they love to play! The greyhound will bow and vocalize to let the animal/human friends know they are ready to have fun. 

 

Myth 2 – Greyhounds are Dangerous around Small Animals and Cats

 

This is a myth because, in general, greyhounds are gentle dogs. However, they are “sight hounds”. Thus, they are inclined to chase moving objects. The cut-throat trainers take advantage of it to train by using this characteristic feature. They taunt the Grafton greyhounds with tethered live animals and tie the animals with fast-moving lures. 

 

Myth 3 – Greyhounds Love to Race

 

Greyhounds could be the fastest dogs, but this doesn’t mean they love to race. Greyhounds love to RUN – not a race. They also love to sleep, play, cuddle and be loved for who they are – just like any other dog. 

 

Myth 4 – Greyhounds are Suitable only for Outdoor Environment

 

Grafton greyhounds almost have no body fat and a very fine coat. Thus, they are susceptible to cold. Accessing a warm and dry area is always crucial. You might need to take extreme measures on especially cool days. 

 

Myth 5 – Greyhounds are Vicious because they Wear Muzzles

 

In most instances, the state laws require greyhounds to wear muzzles in public areas. It is mainly based on the assumption that the dogs are only trained to chase and harm small animals. However, this is not true at all. The muzzle doesn’t signify that the wearer is aggressive, or they are a threat to other animals. If you see a Grafton greyhound with a muzzle, there lies a big softy behind the mask.
