The Greyhound is one of the most ancient breeds known to man. The first evidence of the breed was discovered in Egypt, with carvings in old tombs dating back to 2900 and 2751 B.C.

Aristocracy and culture has always surrounded the Greyhound, and in early times royalty, only bred them. Formal coursing events came on the scene over two centuries ago.

In America, Greyhounds can be traced back to the 1500s, brought in by Spanish explorers. Greyhounds were among the first dogs recorded at American dog shows, with an entry of 18 exhibited at the Westminster Kennel Club show in 1877. Today the breed’s most valued trait is companionship — a lovely dog with a lively personality.
