About Greyhounds

Greyhounds are extraordinary animals. They are the quintessential embodiment of elegance in the animal kingdom, exhibiting the simplicity and consistency of physical design and a refined grace and dignified propriety of temperament. Greyhounds are sleek, flexible and athletic dogs, distinguished by their deep chests, long slightly arched necks, extremely flexible spines, muscular shoulders, straight forelegs, powerfully muscled rear legs and long, fine tapering tails with a slight upward curve. Their eyes are dark, bright and inquisitive and their gaze intense, qualities indicative of great intelligence. Greyhounds are quiet, reserved, even-tempered, sensitive, social and extremely loyal, though they will exhibit a bit of willfulness at times. They have an innate desire to please and crave attention making them an excellent companion.
