What is a Greyhound?
A Greyhound is an old breed of dog that is thought to be related to the Saluki, or Persian Greyhound, of Ancient Egypt. Greyhounds are sleek and long-legged and are sight hounds rather than scent hounds. Sight hounds follow their target with their eyes rather than by smelling their prey and following the scent like scent hounds. The Greyhound became known as a prime racing dog because of its speed.
