Claim this spotGreyhound stud fees usually run from $600 to $1,500. A health-tested male with no proven litters often asks $600 to $900. However, show champions and lure coursing winners can ask $1,200 to $2,000.
These are market estimates, since fees are private. Fees for racing sires follow a separate market and are not covered here. The stud fee guide explains contracts and return services.

Greyhound polyneuropathy is a fatal nerve disease of young dogs, found mainly in show lines. Because it is recessive, a carrier bred to a clear dog produces no affected puppies. In addition, hip dysplasia is rare in the breed. However, bloat and bone cancer both occur, and neither has a screening test. Registered results are public on the OFA website.
See our health testing guides for how each test works.
First, check his papers. The AKC registers show and coursing Greyhounds. In contrast, racing dogs are registered with the National Greyhound Association. The two lines have been bred apart for generations, so make sure his registry suits your female's.
Next, look at structure and movement. A Greyhound should be lean and deep-chested, with a long neck, an arched loin and powerful hindquarters. Males stand 28 to 30 inches. He should cover ground with an easy, low stride.
Finally, ask how long his relatives lived. Bone cancer is the breed's main cause of early death. Therefore, a pedigree with dogs that reached eleven or twelve is a real advantage.
Sighthounds of this shape appear in art from ancient Egypt, and the breed was refined in Britain for coursing hares. The AKC registered Greyhounds from 1885 and describes the breed as gentle, independent and noble.
At home, Greyhounds are quiet, clean and affectionate. However, they chase small animals on instinct, and they need a secure place to sprint. In addition, they react differently to some anesthetic drugs, so always tell your vet the breed.
Greyhounds usually breed naturally without trouble. However, the AKC population is small, so breeders often ship chilled or frozen semen to find an unrelated sire. Each profile lists the methods on offer.

A cardiac exam, an eye exam and the Greyhound polyneuropathy DNA test, plus a recent negative brucellosis test.
Are racing and show Greyhounds the same breed?
Yes, but they are registered separately and have been bred apart for many years. Racing dogs use the NGA studbook.
