Greyhounds love to play with their new family and you need not spend a lot of
money on special fancy toys. A few suggestions.
- One of the most popular toys in the adoption center living room is a
cotton rope toss. Not only is it safe, and durable and fun for your greyhound
it also flosses his teeth.
- Some greyhounds like to play with a tennis ball. Remember, your greyhound
was bred to chase so roll or bowl the ball, don't throw it. Once the ball is
punctured it should be thrown away.
- A shank or marrow bone at least five inches long from your butcher will
provide hours of enjoyment for your greyhound and can he a great doggie
pacifier. Supervision is recommended, especially as the bone dwindles.
- Many greyhound we have placed have done their own adoption of a stuffed
animal, throw pillow, or scatter rug. This breed just seems to need something
to snuggle up with - so be prepared.
- A nylabone may seem rather expensive at first, but will last forever and
provide a good cleaning action for your greyhound's teeth.
You may not get to see the silly side of your greyhound for a while. They
will probably not feel like letting their puppy personality out until they feel
quite secure. When you see the classic bottom up, front end down pose bouncing
in front of you, you will know it's time to play. |
