Everything to Know About Richmond Greyhound's Early Life & Racing
A considerable tenure of a greyhound's early life is their race training and career. Greyhounds love being with each other. This is not just by accident but because of their breeding and early lives at the greyhound farms. If a greyhound doesn't get along with others, it will not be suitable to participate in a race. Thus, the Richmond greyhounds need a good temperament to become successful competitors.

Thus, greyhounds are bred to be fast, healthy and have sound temperaments. As a result, most dogs are separated from their litter mates early and sold as pets. On the other hand, greyhounds spend a lot of time with other greyhound puppies at the racing kennel and breeding firm. Therefore, they learn pack behaviour and get along with other dogs right from the time when they are born.
Their racing instinct
Being a sighthound,
a Richmond greyhound's genetic makeup is such that it chases
small & moving objects. Therefore, the Richmond greyhound training for
racing depends on instinct. The instinct to hunt is also why the greyhound can
be best buddies with your small dog or cat within the house. However, this is
also why you must be careful when your greyhound is at a dog park because
another person might bring their small dog, not knowing about a greyhound's
instincts.
The crucial period of training
The RichmondGreyhound training started with they were just a year old. At that
time, the training included chasing after an artificial lure. The artificial
bait can be as simple as a plastic bag. Most greyhounds think this is fun and
do it as a game. The next step is to teach the young greyhounds to chase
objects above ground. Finally, they learn to follow the artificial lure through
an oval track. Now, you have to train the greyhounds about the starting box.
