I love the sight of sight hounds. Afghans. Irish Wolfhounds. Scottish Deerhounds. Greyhounds. Whippets. They sure are fast and love to run.

They are not content with a simple jog like some dogs. They need a good sprint now and then. They are not meant to be retrievers, but you might try kicking a soccer ball and letting her chase after it and try and tackle it. Then you have to go get it and give he a pat. You might be able to work recall training into that to somehow. I think you are right about greyhounds not being a dog for the woods; more for open fields. That dog is going to keep you in fine shape though.
