How old was the greyhound? Our current greyhounds are lazy but are very cuddly and will enjoy a good play and are not what I would call unconfident.
Time off lead is a different matter, ours get plenty at home as we have a big garden but they are not safe to let off in public spaces as they will chase small fluffy things...

I'm still working on the campaign to expand our family (kids are 4 and 7) to include a dog.
We dog-sat a friend's rescue greyhound over the summer which was insightful, mainly in that it clarified that we don't want a rescue greyhound. She was adorable in some ways, and my daughter fell hopelessly in love, but it was a bit of spanner in the works of convincing my wife. Sweet as Edith the rescue hound was, she was super nervous, and kinda unrewarding in that... no playing, no snuggling, no time off the lead. She mostly just sulked or slept, and needed to go out for about 6 huge wet shits a day.
Made me want to look at some smaller and more confident/playful doggos. Sorry Edith.
