Wichita Greyhound Park - Adoption Information Adoption Program Greyhounds are among the most ancient of canine breeds. Egyptian tombs hold evidence that greyhounds existed nearly as they are today. They hunted lions and because of their webbed feet, ran easily on sand. Today, greyhounds adopted from a racing kennel have been handled by people since the day they were born. Not only are they used to people, they thrive on human companionship.
Greyhounds are as diverse in personality as they are in color.
The color you will never see is, oddly enough, grey. They were originally called gazehounds which eventually evolved to greyhound. As Pets There is a lot of greyhound left when one of our racers retires. You will find them to be calm, intelligent animals that revel in the attention of people. Greyhounds begin their racing careers at 18 months of age and some are just not fast enough to compete professionally.
