Greyhounds are a pure breed.
They were used for coursing games for many centuries, probably since the Roman times. Although the Greyhound is used for racing and coursing, it is basically a lazy animal. When choosing a Greyhound pup, you have to examine its mother and her bloodline. The breeding process starts with the female, and if she has got a good history in racing she will usually produce top grade pups. Pups should have been brought up on a large block of land with plenty of room to run.
