Greyhounds

Greyhounds are an ancient breed used for hunting practically all kinds of small game including deer, stags and foxes, but the hare is its natural quarry. Greyhounds have been associated with coursing for centuries.

As a hunter, the greyhound is designed for the chase with a deep, wide chest and long powerful hind legs. The coat of a greyhound is short, smooth and firm in texture.
