Additional Bulldog Comments

Your site lists greyhounds as tolerating heat very well. This is very incorrect. Heat has been deadly to many greyhounds! They are prone to malignant hyperthermia if they get too hot. This is very important in case someone should read that info,and it is not correct. Also,they do not have a high requirement for exercise,and should not be kept outside in the heat,or cold,for that matter. Just need to point these things out,especially regarding tolerating heat very well.
