ABOUT: GREYHOUND DOG BREED
The Greyhound is a breed known for its speed and agility, originally bred for hunting and racing. These elegant dogs have a sleek, muscular build, known for their long legs and deep chests. Despite their athletic prowess, they are gentle and good-natured, making them excellent family pets. Greyhounds are known for their calm demeanor and low maintenance grooming needs, with a loving and loyal nature that endears them to their owners.
The Portuguese Podengo is a versatile and ancient breed originating from Portugal. Classified into three sizes (small, medium, and large), this breed is known for its exceptional hunting skills, agility, and strong prey drive. With upright ears, almond-shaped eyes, and a lean, athletic build, the Portuguese Podengo is a loyal and intelligent companion that thrives on both mental and physical stimulation. As a natural hunter, the Portuguese Podengo requires ample exercise and a secure environment to channel its high energy levels effectively.
