The Greyhound Dog is a strong and healthy breed. The only official genetic problem today, for which we have a test, is the Greyhound Neuropathy. It is a characteristic of the show bloodlines, but the gene was isolated two years ago and the test is available in many veterinary clinics in Europe. Some show bloodlines can be affected by bloat, like most of the big breeds with a long body. You can try to avoid this by letting your Greyhound rest after he eats, and also by limiting the food amounts (two meals per day is always better than one meal a day). You also have to be aware of the characteristics of the breed (large amounts of muscles and large heart) when you bring your Greyhound dog at home and discuss the protocol with your vet.

All four limbs of the German Shepherd should be strong,
