Greyhound

Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds of dogs, tracing back over 8,000 years to early cave drawings. Greyhounds were originally bred as hunting dogs to chase hare, foxes, and deer. Canines in this dog breeds can reach speeds of 40 to 45 miles per hour, making them the Ferraris of the dog world. The greyhound is intelligent, gentle with a quiet disposition, and in spite of its great athletic ability, is content to spend most of the day sleeping.
