Greyador Activity Requirements

Greyadors are a fairly new hybrid dog, a cross between a Dachshund and a Labrador Retriever. While the name may be new, the breeding isn’t. The cross between these two breeds has been a favorite among breeders for many years. The cross between a Dachshund and a Labrador Retriever results in a very active, intelligent, and loyal dog. These pups are well-suited to just about any activity, including running, hiking, and swimming. When it comes to the physical activity needs of Greyador puppies, the healthier the parents are, the more energy you can expect your puppy to have. Be sure to take your puppies’ health history into account when determining their energy level.
