Sighthounds
Sighthounds are dogs that have been bred to hunt using their sight and speed, not by scent or endurance like scent hounds do.
They are part of the AKC Hound Group which consists of the scent hounds and the sighthounds. Sighthounds have a long, lean body with long legs and a flexible back to help them run at high speeds to hunt prey.
Sighthounds make for great pets as they are easy to care for due to their short coat that is easy to maintain. They are generally not hyperactive or strong-willed. They form a close bond with their owners and use their sight-driven instincts to make their owners happy! The greyhound is part of the sighthound family. Greyhounds are some of the most well-known dogs in the world!
Greyhounds & Cats

But as you can see from this adopter’s photo, there is an exception to every rule! If you have feline family members and are thinking of adopting a grey, this is a conversation you need to have with your adoption counselor.
