Hungarian Greyhound

Hungarian Greyhounds are loyal companions and can be protective of their family. They may take a minute to warm up to strangers and do have some watchdog ability. They are quick both mentally and physically. If their exercise needs are not met, you can quickly have an unhappy – and somewhat destructive – dog on your hands. In addition to daily activity, early training and socialization can certainly curb this behavior.

Hungarian Greyhounds might be high maintenance in the exercise department, but when it comes to grooming, they are a pretty easy bunch. Their short, smooth coat comes in a variety of different colors and sheds very minimally. A light brushing once a week will take care of any dead hairs and keep their coat looking shiny and healthy.

Hungarian Greyhounds can live in most households as long as they are getting their fill of daily exercise. A large, fenced yard will also make these dogs happy. Hungarian Greyhounds love children and other dogs. Overall, these are active dogs that do best with equally active owners.

It can be hard to keep up with a Hungarian Greyhound. To give yourself a boost, hop on a bicycle and have them run alongside you on a long leash. These dogs need to stretch their legs on a daily basis, so be sure to give them at least two hours of intense exercise per day - preferably something running-related.
