Breed Overview
The Greyhound is an ancient breed, known for its incredible speed and elegant, athletic build. While they are the fastest dog breed, they are famously known as "45-mph couch potatoes" for their calm, gentle, and surprisingly low-energy nature in the home. They are sweet, sensitive souls that thrive in a quiet environment and make affectionate, low-maintenance companions.
