teddybeans Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Sorry for my ignorance but why do they require a muzzle in the first place? Are they typically an aggressive breed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The muzzles are to stop them using their jaws on some fast moving small fluffy ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebanne Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Only Greyhounds have routinely been required to wear a muzzle. Australia is just about the last country that has this law. Lots of people have worked very hard for many years to bring this about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Best Dogs! Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hopefully the mandatory leash rules will remove next, to become one more based off the individual same as other breeds and mixes of. It was the only thing stopping me from greyhounds way back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 No I could never agree to leads off for Greyhounds in an open area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Seeing how quick they move when they want to chase something, I don't think I could agree to removing the mandatory leash rules. After seeing them chase down a horse, you would have no chance to recall them and they are gone before you ever have a hope of catching them. Much safer for everyone to keep them on lead. --Lhok 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
