Temperature Sensitivity
Because they have very low body fat, thin skin and fine coat, Greyhounds are very sensitive to temperature extremes and insects.
History
Prehistoric art depicts doglike creatures and men chasing game, but the Greyhound story begins properly in Egypt some 5,000 years ago.
Temperment
Greyhounds are more interested in doing things *with* you than *for* you. They are very affectionate with their families, though they tend to be reserved with strangers.
Fastest Couch Potato
