Greyhound

NOTES

Greyhounds are a very popular breed. They are not particulrly robust, and require a skilled hand and sharp observation skills . There are a few key points when grooming these dogs:

Their legs are very delicate, so they need help getting in and out of the bath, and on off a table.
They can be fearful by nature of the grooming experience.
You also need to watch other dogs around them. Ex-racing dogs are bred to chase small fluffy things!

Get to know the dog and it’s capabilities, and general nature before handballing this breed to a junior bather or groomer.
