This ancient breed is the epitome of the sighthound dog. Supremely fast hunting dog used for coursing game. As a pet, they are a gentle, noble, and sweet-tempered companion with an independent spirit.
These graceful hounds have been an object of fascination for artists, poets, and kings through the centuries. Greyhounds are the essence of the dog breeder's credo 'Form follows function.' From the narrow, aerodynamic skull to the shock-absorbing pads of the feet, Greyhounds are perfectly constructed for high-speed pursuit. The lean beauty of the Greyhound 'inverted S' shape, created by the deep chest curving gently into a tightly tucked waist. Greyhounds are the template from which other coursing hounds have been struck.
