Dog Lovers Manual

Remember that many sighthounds, such as Greyhounds, are likely to chase after other animals (especially small, furry ones), and kill them if they get the chance, unless they have been brought up with them. Similarly, some scenthounds are not suited to life as family pets due to their strong hunting instincts and sometimes powerful build, which is not a good combination when there are children and other pet in the household. It pays to research thoroughly the breed you are interested in before buying a puppy, or taking on an adult.
