Default Raising a Greyhound in the Suburbs?

hey everyone,

just looking for some opinions about raising a greyhound pup from 3 months of age from people that have raised there dogs from a smallish property in the suburbs.

this would be my situation to give you some idea.

i have a large (empty) single car garage (enclosed)
would have to keep the pup outside of the house to sleep etc
have a large park across the road
small (U) shaped backyard
no children

work full time as does my wife so would be able to feed the pup morning and night however if needed can organise a family member to feed more regularly with the pups early developement if needed.

can walk extensively before and after work.
would also be able to invest in a walking machine if needed.
would also be happy to invest in other things as my dog's well being is my TOP priority.


the reason i'm asking is i have my first pup which is with his trainer and after 6 months of asking questions and observing thought i would really like to train 1 or 2 dogs from home myself.

just wondering if this is at all possible before i start getting all the required paperwork and find out that my situation wouldn't be suitable.
if you need more details from me to answer my question please let me know.


i welcome all feedback and advice.

thank you in advance.

kind regards,

ghlover86
