Greyhound (the dog breed)

The Greyhound is a breed of dog renowned for its incredible speed and agility. Originally bred for hunting and racing, they are one of the fastest dog breeds, capable of reaching speeds up to 45 miles per hour. Greyhounds have a sleek, aerodynamic body, long legs, and a narrow head. Despite their athletic prowess, they are known for their calm and gentle temperament, making them great companions. They typically enjoy short bursts of exercise followed by significant rest and are often referred to as "couch potatoes." Their short coat is easy to maintain, requiring minimal grooming.
