Greyhounds are one of the oldest and earliest breeds of dogs known to man. They have been in existence since the time of the early man and were depicted in cave drawings.
They were also referred to in early Egyptian records and are the only dog breed mentioned in the Bible. Greyhounds had a special status in Britain and were very popular amongst commoners because of their ability to hunt hares and games.
They were also popular amongst nobles in order to keep up the status of nobility. In 1014, the existing Forest laws banned commoners from keeping this breed of dogs near the royal forests. As the years went on, Greyhounds began to be used for coursing and subsequently, for track racing.
Greyhounds are generally unaggressive and reserved. They prefer to lie indoors without disrupting the house. They equally prefer quiet environments and may not cope well in perpetually noisy conditions.
They love the comfort and can be found snuggling under the covers or lying on a couch. Although Greyhounds are not typically aggressive towards other animals, they have a tendency for chasing smaller animals.
Greyhounds are very docile and eager to please. As such, they do not require a firm hand. As an owner, it is important to show them more love than scolding.

However, it is important to provide them with a large fenced area where they can run and gallop around. This is because of their natural love for running and chasing things.
However, the area has to be fenced. This is because Greyhounds are sharp-sighted and may sight a smaller animal in the distance. Their urge to chase it may take over and they could get lost during the chase. Thus, it is very important to fence their running area.
Greyhounds are often referred to as the cheetahs or Ferraris of the dog kingdom. They love to run and play games. They are very energetic and need a lot of activities.

It is highly advisable to regularly trim their nails because they are fast-growing and may hurt the dog if they grow too long. Owners should also consider cleaning out the wax in the ears of their Greyhound.
