Greyhound

The origins of the Greyhound date back to Egypt some 5,000 years ago.  They Greyhound was traditionally used to hunt large prey such as wolf, deer and wild boar.  In more recent years, it has been used for coursing or racing. 

The temperament of the Greyhound remains extremely stable.  It is quite relaxed and poised with a laid back attitude and does not require constant attention from its owner.  Amiable with both humans and canines, the Greyhound is rarely tough or aggressive with any person or any dog.  Built for stamina and speed, the dog has been bred for centuries to hunt or course.  Today, retired racing Greyhounds adjust easily to become a good all-round housedog and companion.
