Introduction

Graceful and elegant, the Greyhound is a picture of streamlined speed and noble temperament. Sporting a sleek, short coat, they're renowned for their quiet, gentle nature and affection for lounging. Though they burst with energy in short spurts, Greyhounds are surprisingly low-maintenance on the activity scale. This breed is ideal for those who appreciate a calm companion that can switch to an agile sprinter in the blink of an eye.
