The Potsdam Greyhound is good for apartment life. They are fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard. They are sensitive to cold weather.
This breed needs to be taken on a daily walk. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as instinct tells a dog the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human.
About 10-12 years
About 4-8 puppies
The Potsdam Greyhound is one of the easiest dogs to groom. All that is needed to keep the fine, silky coat gleaming is a rubdown with a piece of toweling or chamois. Only bathe when absolutely necessary. After bathing make sure the dog is thoroughly dry and warm. Trim toenails regularly. This breed is an average shedder.
A locally bred Italian dog, the Potsdam Greyhound is a coursing breed raced by amateurs.
