In the days of old England you could tell a gentleman by his greyhounds.
The Egyptians worshipped greyhounds as a God.
Greyhounds are found inscribed on tombs of ancient kings.
The greyhound is in fact a calm and gentle dog.
It likes peace and quiet and will sleep up to 18 hours a day.
Usually it is a very quite dog and easily trained.
It is not a fighting dog and will often freeze if attacked.
Greyhounds quickly feel winter cold or rain and if outside for more than a short time should have a coat.
Greyhounds can reach a top speed of 45 miles per hour.
Greyhounds come in an endless variety of colors, including white, fawn (tan), cream, red (rust), black, blue (grey), many shades of brindle, and with patches of these colors on white.
