Why are Greyhounds required to be kept on a leash unless in a fenced-in area?
Greyhounds love to run and can do so at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour. They instinctively love to chase things, especially rabbits and squirrels. In their quest for speed, a Greyhound can quickly become injured or lost. Since they have lived in kennels all of their lives, they are not “street wise” and have no fear of traffic.
