Can you use a harness with a greyhound...
I am hoping to adopt a greyhound... starting to panic in case it runs off!
hey, gwen! :--)
yes, they can wear harnesses; i use front-clipped H-harnesses on dogs of all shapes + sizes.
ANY brand of H-harness with a ring on the chest, that fits well, is fine; the ring secures 3 straps that meet on the chest,
2 from the shoulders, one going down the sternum to the girth-strap.
off-leash OUTSIDE a fence is generally not allowed by most Greyhound rescues -
at least here in the USA, its in the adoptive contract, and if the dog is found off-leash running or reported at large
(if ACC picks them up, the microchip often has the rescue as the first-call),
they can re-possess the dog.
they are called Sighthounds for a reason - they can SEE moving-targets further away than we can,
and are off at 40-mph; the likelihood of calling them off is remote.
retired-racers are great dogs; easy grooming, generally easy-going, love a walk, like to lounge on the sofa,
with or without humans...

they can be PREDATORY tho,
be sure to ask if the dogs are tested re small pets - toy-dogs, CATS, etc;
some Greys are cat-chasers who will kill if they catch one.
cheers,
