Greyhound Dog Breed Information

The Greyhound is the fastest dog breed in the world, capable of reaching speeds up to 72 km/h. Despite their incredible athleticism, Greyhounds are gentle, quiet, and surprisingly lazy at home. They are often called '70 km/h couch potatoes' because they love lounging as much as running. They are sweet, sensitive dogs that make wonderful, low-maintenance companions.
