How many children are in your household and what are their ages?*
*Being gentle, patient and sensitive, greyhounds live with children very well.  They tend to walk away if play becomes too much rather than snap.  However, all children should be supervised by an adult when playing with any dog and they must be taught to respect he greyhound's personal space, especially when sleeping.
