WATCH OUT.... Your Greyhound Puppy will steal your couch!
Oh dear how Greyhounds absolutely love to rest! It may seem ironic that a dog breed that is a natural born racing and hunting dog like the Greyhound spends most of its time resting, but it's true! These dogs have even been dubbed the "forty-mile-per-hour couch potato" due to their long hours of rest and laziness.
It is your duty as the proud owner of a sleek Greyhound doggy to make sure she is comfortable. And trust me, if you don't provide a comfortable setting for your Greyhound then she will do it herself on your comfortable beds and sofas.
You need to consider that there is very little padding on the body structure and coat of the Greyhound dog breed. And even fatter ones still do not offer the body cushion needed to be comfortable on hards surfaces like wooden floors or tile.
Editorial Aside from the Webmaster: One of the neatest things about the web is that you can quickly find and almost always quickly buy whatever you're looking for. It's taken us quite a while to sift through all the files we found and choose the best information for you. It took an incredible extent of time and perseverance to compile this site on this subject. It would have taken you quite awhile to Google all this information on your own.
You must provide him or her with their own warm and cozy spot. Whether it is a specific chair, on top of a certain blanket on the couch, or a snuggly bed within a cage, your Greyhound must be comfortable for its long ours of laziness each day.
If you really want to make your Greyhound comfortable, then get him one of those bean-bag chairs or "pappa-san" chair cushions. They make wonderful beds for Greyhounds. If you do not want to invest in a special bedding for your dog, then expect trouble on your furniture! And I must warn you, your Greyhound will battle you (in a positive way) to get as comfortable as possible on your cozy sofas and lazy boy chairs if you do not have a bed for the dog specifically.
Above all, Greyhounds will be more happy with having their own private quarters to rest in. She is used to sleeping and eating in her own cage from her career years as a racer. As a added value to having her own crate, although your dog will not soil it's cage area, you can bet that having her rest inside her own cager area will make housebreaking in the new home much easier.
What you've just read is only the beginning of a fascinating journey into the subject. There are many more useful resources on this site - I invite you to spend some time exploring them and learning even more.
