A few words about greyhounds - this is one of the oldest types of dog, known since ancient times. They probably originated in the steppes of southwest Asia and northern Africa. They are characterized by an aerodynamic body structure, enabling them to achieve high speed in pursuit of game. During the chase, these dogs are guided by sight rather than smell. Greyhounds are used for hunting, as ornamental dogs and as racing dogs. In terms of use, they are classified as hunting dogs - chasing dogs.
