New to dog ownership. I’m thinking a greyhound. But we live in a garden flat?

Single parent two children 10 and 9.

The children are true bona fide dog lovers.

And I finally feel ready to welcome one in to our family.

Does a greyhound seem suitable to this scenario:

Ground floor large flat (small/medium sized enclosed garden). Is this ok?
For family - happy to walk 2x day 4 days a week, but only time for 1x 30 min walk 3 days a week. Is that sufficient?
I’m very house proud. Greyhound compatible?
Lots of love and cuddles to give.

Thoughts?

Rescue or from breeder? Eventually would love a rescue but for our first - may not be in dog’s best interests (and right for our family as a first dog)

Alternatives?

Many thanks

That's a lovely old fella, StillSmallVoice 😍. How old is he? I love the old white faced boys.

Ear action. They’re normally flopped down. Greyhounds are the best.

@Definitelyrandom oh my those ears.. so pointy 😍

@GreyhoundG1rl he's almost five, so not all that old.

@Definitelyrandom S/he looks like they are having a lot of fun.

@StillSmallVoice He loves his offlead runs (and playing with this ball which he found when he was mooching).
