**MYTH BUSTER MONDAYS**

We’re starting the week with our new ‘Myth Buster Mondays’ where we discuss some of the widely held greyhound myths.
 
The question we are asked the most often is Don’t they need a lot of exercise?’ and the short answer is always ‘no they don’t!’
 

Greyhounds, when racing, only sprint for a short period of time and don’t tend to have a lot of endurance.

As a pet they are happy with two 30 minute walks a day. Of course they can walk further if the occasion calls for it and may enjoy longer walks at the weekend. Younger greyhounds may also enjoy more exercise but generally they are happy with a couple of short walks each day and like to spend most of their day sleeping!   They aren’t called the ’40 mph couch potato’ for nothing!
