I just got an answer from someone who has been rescuing and rehoming greyhounds for many years and is a very respected person.

"The apartment does not bother me, greyhounds like smaller places, they are used to being in a crate all their lives, so prefer smaller places. They actually do very well in apartments.
As for the 9 hour day, I think that is really too long for a greyhound to be by itself, even with the 1/2 hour walks, 9 hours is still 9 hours.
It is too long to expect the dog to wait to relieve himself.... I know I could not go 9 hours......., so I do not expect pets to do it either. It really is a lot to ask of any pet.
Some greys can go that long without a problem, and I know I have some that do, but I do not think it is right, very hard on the kidneys.....
