About

The Greyhound is the prototype of the sighthounds, with experts tracing its origins to the Middle East and greyhound-like dogs depicted on Egyptian tomb walls from 4000 BC, though the breed was standardized in Britain. Racing greyhounds developed from hare-coursing hounds, and only the cheetah surpasses its speed, with some dogs recorded at over 45mph. Despite remarkable stamina, it is gentle, affectionate and even-tempered, famously quiet at home, needing daily walks plus regular safe sprints.
