Greyhound week: a tall sighthound with a quiet home rhythm and a spectacular turn of speed.
The ideal Greyhound is described as intelligent, gentle, affectionate and even-tempered, with a deep chest, slightly arched loin, powerful quarters and a free stride that covers ground quickly. (Royal Kennel Club breed standard; AKC standard)
For day-to-day care, Greyhound Trust says many are content with two 20-minute walks a day, while AKC emphasizes regular exercise and a securely fenced place to run safely. (Greyhound Trust profile; AKC breed profile)
Family fit is individual. Greyhound Trust describes the breed as a gentle companion, but notes that sight-hound chase instinct means cats and small pets need careful matching and introductions. (Greyhound Trust profile)
The artwork is a modern gouache interpretation; the measurements, care notes and breed-standard markers are drawn from the linked references.
