Description
The Greyhound is the racing star, an avid hunter and a good-natured sleepy-head, madly in love with his owner. Maybe they are not the best servants who follow every requirement, but they are wonderful friends and companions able to show delicacy and patience where circumstances require it. However, Greyhounds settle down only at a mature age, quite rightly believing that childhood is the best time to test the strength of the world and the patience of others. The origin of the breed is still unknown. One popular theory is its ancient Egyptian origin. Frescoes depicting ancient greyhounds are 4,000 years old.
