It was in Great Britain that the English Greyhound or better known as just the Greyhound was refined and developed. From there Greyhounds became a very popular choice of dog breed for the rich and royality. Greyhounds are considered to be the fastest dog breed and can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. It wasn't long before people began to race these dogs which has led to alot of them now becoming rescue dogs.
Greyhounds mainly have a short and smooth coat and have a lifespan of 10-12 years. Male greyhounds can grow to a height of 30 inches and weight up to 75 pounds. While female greyhounds can grow to a height of 28 inches and weight up to 70 pounds.
Greyhounds have a very gentle, playful and affectionate personality. They are a great companion to their owner as they are compassionate and docile. Greyhounds make a great family pet as they are naturally well mannered. However as they are a large dog built for speed they should never be allowed off a lead while out for a walk as they have a strong prey drive and if they become involved in the chase it will be very hard to catch them! Training a greyhound to do some easy commands such as 'sit' can be more difficult than other breeds. Greyhounds enjoy the company of other dogs and will adapt well into homes with other non-aggressive pets.
Greyhounds may seem like they need lots of exercise and long walks however they actually don't need as much as you may think. They love regular outings and also large areas in which they can run around in. As they are very playful dogs, they will love playing with lots of toys. Greyhounds only need occasional brushing to loosen and remove dead hair.
