We always had lurchers, rescue/racing greys and whippets back in the UK (with the occasional Irish and deerhound!) so yeah we love the sighthound family
Not much to add - you'd almost certainly not be able to live in an HDB (not approved). You might be able to appeal and get a temp permit, but they will overturn it in a heartbeat if any neighbours complain. The pool of available
condos for dog-owners is small too, and some of them enforce rules similar to HDB rules.
I go to West Coast Park dog run 7 days a week (I have a crazy little poodle cross thing at the moment) and we've seen whippets rarely, lurchers and greys never.
West Coast Park is the biggest of the dog runs, Bishan is far smaller though it does have an even smaller area for "small dogs" (but they are not restricted to the small area). Even with a car you'd want to factor that into your living location.
If your dogs have good recall, then Tajong Beach on Sentosa has a sort of unwritten off-lead rule early in the mornings on Sat/Sun. (Its the "adult" beach on Sentosa so doesn't get very busy early on).
All the national parks have lead laws, so can't walk trails with your dogs off-lead.
BUT life in Singapore will be different...for a start, most people including dog-owners won't be used to a large dog at speed. They may freak out.
Also, as sighthounds...be aware that there are a LOT of toy dogs in Singapore, also at the dog runs. Let grey loose, see tiny fluffy maltese in the distance...if your dogs aren't good at recall or stopping commands there will be blood!
Although not mentioned in the Qurʼān, various hadiths declare dogs to be ritually unclean, and some Muslims will go out of their way to avoid being touched by a dog's nose/wet bits. And old Arabic traditions declare black dogs to be manifestation of evil in dog form, which to some degree has passed into some modern Islamic teachings/beliefs. Its not just that you will be stared at - some people will literally run in the other direction/refuse to get into a lift with you/scream when you get close. This happens with my 3kg apricot poodle cross.
If you're planning on having a domestic helper, specify the dog duties up-front (especially if you expect her to care for them when you go on vacation). You're more likely to get a dog-loving helper from the Philippines or Sri Lanka rather than Indonesia, for instance.
As for vets - you're not going to get a vet with a lot of experience with Greys - more likely experience with Italian Greyhounds. However, a lot of vets I've come across have trained and interned overseas, so exposure in countries like Australia and UK is more likely. I've got a lot of confidence in the vets I've seen for my pup.
