GREYHOUND

Rank : 192

The English Greyhound, or simply the Greyhound, is a breed of dog, a sighthound which has been bred for coursing, greyhound racing and hunting. Since the rise in large-scale adoption of retired racing Greyhounds, the breed has seen a resurgence in popularity as a family pet.
 Origin : GREAT BRITAIN
The champion sprinter of dogdom, the Greyhound is a gentle, noble, and sweet-tempered companion with an independent spirit.

Height: 28- 30 Inch

Weight: Male 65-70 Lbs, Female : 60-65 lbs

Lifespan: 10 - 14 Yrs.

Coat: Short, sleek coat that comes in a variety of colors, including black, fawn, blue, brindle, and more.

Exercise Needs: Despite their racing history, Greyhounds have moderate exercise needs. They enjoy short bursts of activity but are also content lounging indoors.

The greyhound is built for speed with a streamlined, muscular body. The neck and head are long. Their characteristic rose ears are usually folded flat against the neck when the dog is relaxed, but prick forward and may even stand somewhat erect when the greyhound is at attention. The loin is slightly arched, the chest is deep, and the waist is narrow, giving the dog a distinctive appearance.

The greyhound is an average shedder, and the short coat does not require a lot of grooming.
A safe place is needed for the dog to run, but long periods of exercise are not required, unlike what some assume. In fact, the breed has been called the 40 mph couch potato. The greyhound is a friendly pack-oriented breed and will readily adopt a family as his own.

When considering an Greyhound, it’s advisable to prioritize adopting from rescue organizations or shelters to provide a loving home to a dog in need
