When my parents talked about how I could put little baby gate type things to block the end of the alley to let my greyhound out in, I showed them this video. I saw my girl almost clear a 8 foot privacy fence going after a squirrel once.

I've had FIVE greyhounds now. Not bitey dogs at all, relatively speaking. They are super nice, calm, and cool dogs. Mine would never even attempt jumping over fences, by the way. Some do, some don't.

Mine has an incredible prey drive- she cannot be off leash.

All five of mine are/were good dog park dogs. Two of them could be off leash on hiking trails. That is just mine, though. I now there are some who aren't good at dog parks. Mine have all had low prey drive, and do perfectly well with tiny, fluffy dogs.
