Health & History

Greyhounds have played many roles from noble hunting hound, pedigree sport dog, blue-collar icon, racing dog, and more recently as pet companions. The privileged position of greyhounds as prized hunting companions for more than 2000 years was transformed into sports commodity within just 150 years.  

Greyhounds have been valued historically for their hunting prowess and were selected for their ability to independently sight, chase and out manoeuvre fast moving prey such as deer, foxes and hares.
