Actually they aren't meant to be kept outside. I don't know of any adoption program that will knowingly adopt to someone planning on keeping them outside. I know of two couples near me who have adopted greyhounds. It's like training a baby. They are crate trained (don't potty in their crate), but they can't live in a crate all the time. They don't have enough body fat to stay outdoors in a pen 24/7. Once they learn about things in the house (like that they can't walk through a sliding glass door), they are very sedate, loving dogs. Be aware.. if you are going to let them out, they can jump a 6 foot fence. They are at over 40 mph in just a few strides.
