A full-grown greyhound is a large dog, weighing about 60–71 lb as an adult.

Adult weight: 60–71 lb
Also in kilograms: 27–32 kg
Size class: Large

As a large breed, a greyhound keeps growing for longer than a small dog — larger breeds reach their adult weight months later (Hawthorne et al., 2004). Expect steady growth well past the first year.

Weight varies within the greyhound by sex, genetics and health, and mixed-breed dogs fall between their parents. This is a typical range, not a guarantee.
